You may have noticed a new computer in the clubhouse. The computer does not have a keyboard, you simple touch, you don't have to push hard or punch, the big golf ball in the center of the screen and follow the directions on the screen. It is so simple to use, even an adult can do it. Courtesy of Handicap Chairman Chuck Koscielski
