Eagle 4+

D K8R

I’ve been using the program for about a year…. and I keep track of 75 golfers (currently)…. I wish there were some classes or videos or lessons on how to use the program to its fullest potential. I’m sure I have not tapped into what it can do - but not really sure about how to go about doing everything.

The Users’ Guide - found in the Help menu. A 200+ page indexed and cross-referenced PDF you can read with any reader. It’s even available on our web site and can be downloaded for use on all your devices (using the Books app). It’s not bedtime reading, but it discusses and illustrates just about everything.

Too cumbersome to use

I wanted a simple program to replace my Golf Digest 4.0 handicap program which Bob Parsons no longer supports. The 4.0 program is a PC program and to use this program on a Mac I have to fool around with Parallels. I figured the Eagle Mac-only program would be a good replacement—Boy was I wrong! The guts of the program is on the Apple app site—not on your Mac. The Mac has an Eagle alias. I am unable to see my Eagle input on my other computer located at my summer residence. I have to return to my other Mac located at my other residence to see any input. The alias located on iCloud has no data. The data entries for each scorecard is time consuming. Also I can not find any players index/handicap after data input. It appears the player(s) must have a bonafide index from some paid PGA source. My league is a bunch of guys who just play golf weekly. I don’t recommend spending $40 for a program you can not use.

Best support of any app I have bought

Though the app doesn’t do everything I need to run a monthly tournament of 30 golfers, the support is outstanding. I receive a response from the developers usually within the day.
The 200 page user manual is a bit daunting to go through, but the developers were available to answer my questions. I was previously using the USGA/GHIN TPP application running under Window’s emulation on my Mac. Glad to now be on a native Mac application.
