## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-08-07

New features added:
1) Track yardage book procurement per course. Each golf course in the app now has a Yardage Book status field with four states: Need, Ordered, Have, and Provided. The status can be set on the course record or updated directly from the tournament form when a course is assigned. The Manager Dashboard surfaces a dedicated alert section, "Courses Needing Yardage Book under 45 Days," showing committed tournament entries (Registered/Accepted) within 45 days where the course yardage book is still marked as Need.
2) Record prize money in any currency. Each tournament can be flagged as a prize money event. When enabled, the entry form unlocks a dedicated Prize Money section where winnings can be recorded in any currency exactly like registration fees and travel expenses. A Prize Money stat card appears on the Financial Dashboard when total winnings are on record, showing cumulative winnings across all events.

Fixes applied:
- Removed unused Expense Paid Status fields from Expense views.
