    I would like to see both SGTBilko's Calculator and The Golden Chart programmed into a stand alone form. I use SGTBilko's Calculator myself, but I don't have Excel. Therefore, I can't use all the features.

    Something like java or actionscript would allow them to be embedded into a webpage.

    I would like to see both SGTBilko's Calculator and The Golden Chart programmed into a stand alone form. I use SGTBilko's Calculator myself, but I don't have Excel. Therefore, I can't use all the features.

    The problem with calcs such as SgtBilko's, even with my adds, and the Golden Chart for shots is that with all of the varied distances of the club lengths and ball lengths they don't contain a way to factor in those distances for them to work very efficiently and accurately for everyone. So they are really good as a basic guide for general use. To be improved they would need the ability to factor in the average distance for each club and ball type combination, with or without spin,  for them to be more accurate. Can that or has that been done? Yes and I forget who originally made one for use of members of ECCC. I took that one and made several modifications for my use and testing a while back. But  samo samo any mis fingering or tweaking by wgt still throws it off. 

    Putting calculators can be basic and fairly accurate for general distances but one still needs to know when and how much to add or subtract for varied conditions such as, breaks,  severe downhill elevations or if using larger putter scales. Also you still need to know what courses have faster or slower greens for additional adds or subtracts

    I am by far not the best shot maker or putter on here but I can be fairly constant most of the time.

    It is in inches. If you using the installed program then you cannot tweak the formula like others do. Nope nothing to help with the line, that comes with experience and practice. Remember though if it is a negative as in downhill you have to enter a "-" in front of the number
