Poll: Scotland Trip - Scoring

[Region3]

I've mentioned this to LQ and he's ok with me trying to get this going.

There is an iOS app called Golf Gamebook, where you can run competitions with live scoring.

It requires one person from each group to have an iPhone, the app, and an account registered with it.
The app and the account are free, and I would set the rounds up, so the only thing needed would be for 1 person in each group (with an iPhone) to enter the scores for the group after each completed hole.

So, good idea? Bad idea?
And how many of you have iPhones and would be prepared to get the app and register an account?

I think it would be great to see how everyone's doing as you're going round (obviously taking care not to slow the pace of play down ), and it takes hardly any more time than writing scores on a card.

Over to you.....

I have an iPhone, and happy to do it as long as someone else in the group is writing the scores down on the card.

 

[Birchy]

I've got an iPhone and happy to do it.

Just a word of warning if this goes ahead. Should you be checking the scores and you see Lincoln Quaker on 0, it's working fine

If he has a score over 25 it's broken :rofl:

 

[IanG]

Likewise I have an iPhone and happy to do it.

Sounds great more than happy, but genuine question, as draw has been done, day 1 you could be in a group with 1-4 iphones, or your group may have none, so does that count some out?

What is an iPhone ?

It won't count people out, we'll either do it as a group or not at all.

I'm going to try to keep track of who says they have an iPhone and check it against the draws to see if we have enough or not.

I don't have an iPhone but I'm playing with Merv79 every day and he does, I'll try to talk him into it

Merv79 didn't get lucky in the draw did he.

My old Mum used to say....you are either born lucky or good looking.

Guess Merv must be good looking

Is that why she gave you the nickname of Lucky Jim ?

Great, sorry didn't say I've got an iphone.

 

[Paperboy]

I've got an iPhone and happy to download etc

 

[Oxfordcomma]

Seems like a good idea but as far as I can see they don't do an app for android so I won't be able to help with the scoring.

 

[Cheifi0]

I have an iphone and would be willing to do the score.

 

[chellie]

I don't want my hole by hole score to be included if this goes ahead.

 

[wookie]

Sounds like a good idea and I have an iphone to use if needed

 

[Hacker Khan]

Afraid I'm an android boy. My plus one doesn't have one either. Sorry.

Pencils are free at Ikea, pens at Ladbrokes !!

However, me and richart will have one of these:-
