In the case where the member is playing at the home club, the information can be transmitted to the main database and used to update the records for that player in the database and recalculation of a handicap if necessary. The handicap information can then be mirrored to the "smartcard" 24 from the "smartcard” reader/writer 26 at a later time when the card is next inserted in the reader/writer 26.
