The original PGC Golf program written in DNN 3 was lost when I switched ISP hosts and decided to upgrade to DNN 4.0. That along with the league not being active any longer, led to it's demise. I found an old backup of the application and DB, so decided to install it to see what it looked like.

Boy is it ugly, from an UI presentation perspective and also from an application perspective. I shoe-horned logic into the stored procedures and code behind to get the application running for the start of the 2005 Golf season, and well, phase 2 never came...

But I like the data and the idea of a Golf Module, so this will be the basis for a redesign in .net 3.5.

Here are some of the screen prints to show the starting point, the bar is awful low for improving the UI!!!

 

The Summary Statistics Screen, ranked by player won/loss record

The List of rounds played by a player - yes the scores are ugly!

pgc2

 

And here is a single round score card - wow, I had a birdie!

pgc3

 

And the list of matches played.

pgc4

 

And the final horrible round of my PGC career, where I was in the 2005 finals with a lead going into the back 9 and lost my putting stroke to lose badly....

pgc5

 

It should be fun doing the application and UI redesign - and I hope to get some better scores to post!

About Me

Thanks for stopping by. My name is Jim Bonnie and I have been writing software for over 20 years. After building financial data systems for Reuters for nearly 18 years I have started doing contract work and am excited about technology and currently focus on Microsoft solutions. DotNetNuke has helped provide a good introduction to ASP.NET web application development, and I am now starting to branch out into other areas. Data Access techniques and SubSonic is something that I am looking into now. This has helped me get an invitation to speak at Las Vegas at DNN Open Force 07. it was a great time.

Reading the codebetter blogs and attending a nothing but .net training class with JP Boodhoo helped spark my interest in ALT.NET. I attended the first conference in Austin Texas, and it was amazing to see Scott Guthrie introduce the ASP.NET MVC framework.
