PLATINUM MEMBERS: Incentive Program
Tuesday, February 16, 2010
As you may or may not already know, Digital Divot never spends a penny on any kind of advertising. We exist entirely from a word-of-mouth campaign. When you tell a friend, family member or fellow golfer about Digital Divot, we grow. The more members we have, the stronger our community becomes and the more detailed and updated our database becomes. So please tell as many of your golfing friends as you can.
And now what's more, for a limited time, we are going to introduce a Platinum Membership referral program. When an existing Platinum Member gets one of their buddies to upgrade to Platinum, we will extend the referring member's Platinum Membership for free, by three months. Simply have your buddy that YOU recommended Platinum Membership to them, to get your extension. It's that simple. So c'mon, get out there and tell some people about us!

PDF is OUT / Native Print is IN
Thursday, September 24, 2009
Due to security concerns and server hardening on the 'cloud' (where we are hosted), our host has imposed stricter security settings for our server, resulting in the inability to leverage the PDF generation component we had been leaning on for printing. So, we have redeveloped the code for the Handicap Card and Peer Review pages to allow for direct printing. What does this mean for you, the member...not much. Everything still functions pretty much as it did before. Your handicap card should print out just like it used to -- even better, with crisper graphics.
So please let us know if you eperience any difficulties. Thanks for your patience.

NEW YORKERS: Bethpage Resolved
Monday, September 14, 2009
I have taken the time to correct, migrate and consolidate the absolute MESS that was our database version of Bethpage. Please note, that contrary to popular belief, Bethpage is NOT in Bethpage, NY. If you actually look at the printed scorecards or visit their webpage, you'll notice that their street address is actually in Farmingdale, NY -- which is where you will find it, from now on. Please, for the love of God, do not re-add this course in Bethpage, NY. Thanks in advance.

"N/A" : What's up with my buddy handicap?
Thursday, August 27, 2009
Many of you have written in wondering why some (or all) of your buddies' handicaps are reading as "n/a", on your Buddies page. We hear ya, and this is NOT by accident. Let me explain...
There are many new and exciting features and enhancements in this version of Digital Divot. Many of the new features required changes to how the data for a given member is stored in the database. When we migrated our huge member database from the old server to the new one, we had to set all members current handicap to a state of "pending". Members with pending handicaps will have their entire handicap history automatically reconciled, upon their very next log-in to Digital Divot. Once their handicap history has been "bounced" or reconciled, their handicap will be current and will be available to YOUR buddy list (and peer review, for that matter).
What does this mean? It means your buddies haven't logged into Digital Divot version 6 yet! So, go rattle their cages and have them log in. The "n/a" issue will magically disappear...

Digital Divot v6 Released
Tuesday, August 25, 2009
Hey Divoteers...the moment has finally come. Digital Divot version 6, is live. We believe this release version to be quite stable, but are going to consider the next week as a Beta period. Please put Digital Divot through it paces and let us know if you find anything amiss. While we have tested this new version heavily; there is always the possibility that something slips through the cracks. We have been in the development business to know that there is no such thing a "bullet-proof code". (but like to think we are as close as it gets)
We are looking forward to hearing all member accolades, questions, comments and concerns. Please do not hesitate to contact us.
