You start counting your strokes and you run out of fingers?
That would be a bad sign. I suppose you could always kick off your shoes and start adding in your toes.

Within this month we're looking on rolling out a new look and feel for GolfStakes.com. For those who would like to see a very rough draft of the new GolfStakes you will need to go to our beta site.
There is no functionality associated with this beta site. You can not login, nor can you actually create a round. But you can click around and get a feel for where we're going with this.
If you have any suggestions or comments about the beta site, please feel free to leave us a message here or by using our contact us form.

As you can see, we've now updated the look and feel of the entire site. We have changed the navigation on the top into drop down menus to help you quickly find items on the site. We've also grouped things a little better now. Help and Support now has all of the community sections, our FAQ's and videos. My Game will let you quickly find your golf rounds, and clicking on Golf Courses will now take you to a state list where you can quickly browse through our 18,000 + golf courses.
Let us know what you like, what you don't like, and what you'd like to see in the future by clicking on our Contact Us Form.
Hope you all enjoy the new look and feel of GolfStakes.com.

Golfstakes at the 2009 Chicago Golf Show
|

From some feedback we had a the Chicago Golf show we've made some changes.
Gone are the drop down menus. People were having a hard time keeping the menu open or the menu got in the way of doing something on the page. We've replaced the dropdown menus with a nice second level of menus. These menu items appear in the a green bar directly under the main menu items.
Second, we've moved the profile and dashboard areas into a new section of the site. To get to the your dashboard items, click on the 'My Game' link and you should now be able to access you score and handicap history, your friends and favorite course lists, along with a direct link to your profile page.
We have also changed the way you can update your personal information. Next to the golfer avatar picture, you will see a link called 'Settings'. Clicking on this link will give you access to your GolfStakes account and allow you to update your personal information, change you password and manage your friends. In the future you will see a lot more options added to this section.
Thats it for now, let us know how we're doing. If you have any suggestions, please leave them here in the forum or send it directly to us using the contact us page found under the information tab.

Using the Reset Password feature:
* To work correctly, copy and paste everything from the beginning of the password to the very end of the password that is emailed to you.
* Paste this password into the password textbox on the member login. You should now be able to login.
After logging in, go to settings, go to change password, and paste this password into the current password textbox and then in the other two text boxes type in a new simpler password. You should now have a simple password associated with your username.
Note: If you have tried the reset password option since your first time, you must use that current temporary password otherwise you will experience login issues.
