The Enter Rounds option is where you may enter the information about your rounds of golf. When you select this option you will see your name, your Golf ScoreKeeper (GSK) calculated handicap, the total rounds and holes that you have entered in the system, your home course, the last five rounds that you have entered into the system, an option to add a round to any course and the Quick Round Entry option.
Next to your home course and next to each of the last rounds you have entered you will see links which allow you to add a round for the particular course. If you want to add a round to a different course (not the home course or one of the last five entered), just use the link below the last 5 rounds entered. If you have built a MyCourses List (see below), you will have the option to add a round for any course in you MyCourses list. When you select the main Courses option in the main menu, you may find a course by the state location and you can use the Add Round option there to add a round for that course.
There are several ways to enter your rounds of golf. Each requires a different level of detail. The more detailed your entry of your round statistics, the more information you will receive in the reporting section of the site. You are free to enter as little or as much information as you choose about each round.
The basics required to enter a round are the course you played, the date of the round, the slope and rating of the course and your final score for the round. This information is captured for every round that you enter.
The simple ways to enter rounds are:
The Total Score Only method will capture only the basic information shown above plus your total score for the round. It is the shortest way to capture the round. You may go back to a round that you have entered using this method and later add other information like the number of putts, number of penalty strokes, etc.

The Hole scores only (with option for other information) method of data entry allows you to enter your score for each hole that you played. Using this option you will also be able to enter everything that you can enter with the GSK Method (although in a slightly different format). If you only want to track your putts on each hole in addition to your score for that hole, then this method will work well. You may enter all the information beyond your score individually. There are several variations for this method where you can select to enter some specific stats as you enter the hole by hole scores.
The GSK Method is designed to work well with the GSK Scorecard. All the information shown on the scorecard may be captured using this method in an easy to follow table layout similar to the layout of the GSK scorecard. You will be able to enter the following information in addition to the basic information:
The Stroke by Stroke method provides the most information. For players who can sit down after a round is played and tell you every club they used on every stroke they played and what they were thinking as they approached the ball, this is an ideal method for you to enter very valuable and detailed information about your round. This method gives you a graphical way to enter your stroke by stroke play for the round.
