Had a no return on a hole recently and posted NR on the HowDidiDo app, but on MyEG app it shows as a bogey,
Anyone know why.

Are you a plus handicapper, and would this be one of the easiest holes on the course, in which you'd be giving one of your shots back? In other words, would a 4 score you zero points in Stableford?

Perhaps it has been recorded on the system incorrectly as "hole not started" (instead of "hole started but not completed"), so is being counted as a nett par for handicapping. If that is the case, your handicap committee should be advised so that it can be corrected, such that it then counts as a nett double-bogey for handicapping.

Yes, definitely the more likely explanation than it being a nett double bogey. Not many plus handicappers about, nor 212 par 3's being a high stroke index hole.

On IG PSIs there are two keys one is NR and the other NS. I know several players that have thought the NS key means No Score and do not realise it means hole not started.

Does HDID have the same? Similarly with the EG app if you leave the hole score as blank it is treated as hole not started.

More than likely to be input error by a player than computer error.
