Importing a Full Season of Scores From a Single CSV

Re-entering a season of scores by hand is the kind of job that gets put off indefinitely, which is exactly why the import tool is built to take a CSV export as-is, no reformatting required.

Hole-by-Hole or Total-Score Files

Both formats are supported: a full hole-by-hole breakdown for courses where that detail exists, or a simple total-score file when it doesn't. The importer detects which columns are present and adjusts accordingly, so you're not forced into a template that doesn't match your records.

Handling Excel's UTF-8 Quirks

Excel exports are notorious for adding a byte-order mark or using an unexpected delimiter depending on regional settings. The import tool strips these automatically, so a file saved from Excel in any locale opens cleanly instead of producing a wall of encoding errors.

Skipping Duplicate Rounds Automatically

If a round already exists for a player on a given date and course, the importer flags it rather than creating a second copy, so re-running an import after fixing a few rows never doubles up the history that already made it in.

Replaying Every Differential

Once the file is confirmed, the engine replays every round in order, recalculating each differential and each handicap movement exactly as if it had been posted live at the time. The result is a full season of history with handicaps that land exactly where they should, not an approximation.
