Do stableford rounds take longer to appear on WHS?

Medal scores seem to appear almost instantly, but plated a stableford yesterday and it's still not there on the MyEG app this morning.

If I'd had a comp today would I have to try and work out my new handicap myself?

I only play stableford and they always appear when I check the next day. I've just checked now and my round from yesterday is on there. I wonder if someone at your club hasn't pressed a button to upload it?

I'm sure I've seen before on here that you no longer calculate what your handicap might be, you just go off what the app says.

You no longer calculate and adjust yourself after a good round. Whatever it says on EG on the day of a comp is your handicap.


If you entered the scores via a PSI screen or an App then it should be updated overnight before the result is published. If your club uses IG then it could be a temporary IG problem (we have been getting probs for a few days and our PSI terminals were not working yesterday).

The England Golf WHS Platform was having a meltdown most of yesterday and some scores weren't synchronised automatically from clubs' ISV systems.

We use ClubV1/HowDidIDo, which (when working) uploads all scores instantly, and I had to manually force about a dozen scores to synchronise in the evening. Your handicap committee may need to check their system and do the same.

So today on howdidido I'm 7.5 but on MyEG I'm 7.0

Does MyEG take precedence?
How it's supposed to work... the central WHS database (MyEG accesses this directly) updates indexes overnight; ClubV1 downloads the information from the central db in the early hours of the morning and then publishes the information to HDID.

There are points of failure in this process, and for some reason scores entered directly on the central database can sometimes result in an instant update there (and MyEG).
