 MEMBER PROFILE SET-UP NEEDS

• Your member number and name as on your monthly index card are necessary to set up your profile.

• You will be asked to enter a password for posting on the internet. Please make note of this password in a secure place. The password is necessary to insure that you are the only one posting scores to your profile on the internet. You will need it each time you post. If you do not remember your password, you will have to go through the set up process again.

• IMPORTANT!! When you return to post a score, scroll down the page to the SECOND LIGHT GREEN BOX saying…”If you have already registered…” If you click on the new user Register Here (first light green box) again, you’ll get the message that someone else (actually yourself) has registered with your number.

 TO REGISTER

• Go to http://www.womensgolf.org/wplgasc/. This is the address of the WPLGA web page. You must register on this page. When you post, RETURN to the same address. Do not post from another address or site.

• When the page appears, you may first wish to bookmark this page for future access. Scroll down to Internet Score Posting Log-In Page, click on that link (the words) to set up your personal profile.

• Follow the directions and read all information on the set-up page. Keep a record of your password.

 WHEN YOU HAVE SET UP YOUR netPost PROFILE

• Click on the PERSONAL PROFILE tab or View Your Profile.

• WARNING: The club listed when a member registers for internet posting will be the club to which the member belongs that is the lowest alphabetically from any association. It may not be an authorized club and it may not be a WPLPGA club. The authorized club MUST be added to your personal profile. If you are not allowed to post, contact the email address for Clare Ittner. You must include your name, member number and the club you belong to that has allowed internet posting. She will add that club for you. You cannot add the club.

• If the club you see is not your initial WPLGA club but does allow internet posting, that’s ok. All scores will go to every club to which you belong. Any authorized club to which you belong may still be added to your profile.

• If you click on help at the top of this page, you will see instructions that you may want to print until you become more familiar with the services. Click on the Print This Page link in the upper left hand corner.

• The instructions clearly explain each feature. Please take the time to read these instructions.

• Our email contact (clareibear@dslextreme.com) is found on that page for changes to your club information.

• Do not contact Deb Long or respond to the automatic email sent to you when you post a score.

• When you post, if the course is in the Southern California area, always use the Southern California data provided for you.

• If you mistakenly enter the wrong course, score, date, ratings, ALWAYS contact Clare Ittner at clareibear@dslextreme.com.

ALWAYS REMEMBER TO POST WHERE YOU PLAY WHENEVER POSSIBLE!

• The USGA Handicap System, Section 5-2a states that posting scores in person immediately following the round at the course where the round is played is the preferred way to expose scores to peer review. This method of posting must be used whenever possible. HOWEVER, it may not always to possible because e.g., the pro shop is closed, the computer is down, power outage, emergency situations; no posting computer is available at course, no IGN link on course computer, etc. THESE ARE SITUATIONS for netPost!

• Your Club Handicap Chair will most likely give you instructions regarding the posting of scores for your club play days. If you forget to post on a club play day. Your HC may instruct you not to post those scores on the Internet. This could result in double posting as HC's will be entering those scores at the course.

• If you play outside the Southern California area and there is no IGN link for posting on that course computer OR the course is not in the So Cal list provided, you will need the date played, course, tees played and course and slope ratings for WOMEN for the tees you play. The women’s rating may be on the scorecard. Check to see if they are current. If not ask for the current WOMEN’S ratings. You may post these scores on netPost.

• ALWAYS VERIFY THE DATA AFTER YOU ENTER THE SCORE and BEFORE YOU SUBMIT IT!

• For further assistance, contact your Handicap Chair.
