PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
	Golf Budde is Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000 compatible and is Y2K compliant.
	
	Golf Budde is a freely distributable, shareware program.
	
	Golf Budde is a Windows database program that calculates handicap and allows
	multiple golfers to keep track of scores, dates played, courses played, 
	money spent on games and equipment, statistics, and other notes.
	A user-maintained course database allows for course names, the course slope
	and course ratings for four different tee boxes and the par scores, handicap
	holes and yardages for each tee box. Statistics may be displayed in either
	a tabular or graphical form within user-defined start and end dates. Detailed
	handicap information is displayed by individual player or by all golfers in
	either alphabetical order or from low to high index.  Handicaps can be
	displayed for 18 or 9 holes; US or Canada.
