Adding rounds for multiple players
I'm keeping track of handicaps for 48 infrequent players with the option of playing up to three times a week and find it time consuming that the drop down list in the "Add a round" feature is not alphabetical. The list of members is alphabetical so couldn't this drop down list be also. It would make life so much easier for me.
Added: I thought a was posting this in "Suggestions, requests and feedback" so don't know how it landed up here!

David, I'm rolling out some tweaks today so will ensure this is included.
Do your guys play together or are you just keeping track of individual rounds ? I'm asking in case it's worth using the group system and then the event system built into it.

Great to hear the tweak will include an alphabetical drop down list.
I track the handicaps for my club's senior section roll-up which we run as a league throughout the year. It's runs from January to November with a total of nearly 100 rounds. There's about 40 competitors with an average turnout of about 20 per round. Points are awarded for both team and individual scores. Handicaps for this competition are kept separately from club handicaps and I maintain the leaderboard manually due to the unconventional scoring system.
The previous administrator had customized software which was unreliable and there would now be nobody to maintain it so although more than three-quarters of the way through the year I've transfered everyone's handicap into golfshake which hopefully we'll be able to use in future years. A great advantage to using something on-line is that it will be much easier if I decide to hand the task on to someone else at a later date.
So far the new system is working well. However I would find the alphabetical drop down very helpful. One other point that would help is if the stableford points were shown as scores are entered. As with most golf clubs we use HowDidiDo for official competitions and when I enter scores on that system the points appear immediately which makes it very easy to spot an error before hitting the submit button.
Thank you for your help and interest.

How complicated is the Order of Merit system ? the event system maybe able to faciliate plus if you create events in the group area it's a lot quicker to add rounds for multiple people playing the same course and you can pull off a backup for each event (CSV file) if you ever need to analyse in Excel.

Is there any way we can record 9 holes , as seem to do them after a practice?
