    Can't get it to open when downloaded. Not familiar with the file type, should it be .xls if an excel file?

    Full credit to Gary and Scott, and it is an aid by the looks of it, not really a program. No different that players using excel or a calculator.....and probably useful for players starting out.....or ones who never spent time trying to learn the game.

    Sort of detracts from the game as I like to play by feel with only brief mental calculations....but then again probably would improve my scoring.....but at the cost of not enjoying it as much.

    Nice to have you back Gary...the legacy continues!

    Yes it is an excel file.  And openoffice will open it as well.  Gary

    Try changing the filename extension from .ods to .xls or download the XLS file from Pinhunters website.

    openoffice writer or draw?  I have 2 options. Then when I try to open it has a popup 'what filter' w/ about 3 dozen choices. So far any choice I guess at ends in a freeze of a error message pop up.
