Parful Clubs help

Update or refresh handicaps

Open People and choose Handicaps at the top of the page. It offers three ways:

  • Enter manually opens the Handicaps tab. Type a value and press Enter to save and move to the next player. Filter by Manual, Linked, Stale, Lookup failed or Locked.
  • Import CSV / XLSX updates the whole roster from your union's export or your own sheet.
  • Sync handicaps pulls the current index for every linked member.

Sync handicaps only works when your club is connected to a handicap system Parful can reach, has passed verification, and automatic updates are switched on. Otherwise it is greyed out and says why: club not connected, club not verified, or unavailable right now. Clubs that are not connected enter or import handicaps; there is no sync for them. A connected club can sync once a minute at most.

To link and verify a club, open Settings (under More), choose the Handicaps & scoring tab, then Handicap verification, and follow Link your roster.

On an outing, the Field and Tee sheet tabs each have a Handicaps menu:

  • Enter manually updates just the players in the field or the whole roster. It saves to the roster and the outing picks up the new numbers.
  • Import CSV updates the roster from a file.
  • Refresh handicaps appears only for a linked, verified club. It syncs the roster, then applies the latest numbers to that outing.

Every change goes into the member's history. Locked members are skipped by bulk and automatic updates.
