That's true.
A few temp greens at the moment is a worry.
Join a links course.

How far are we allowed to travel to play an away course, and must it be in the same tier as your home course
?.

Am I responsible for completing a general play score? Do I need to show intent in advance of my round? When is this live from?

Yes I believe you are, you also need to put in the phone number and signature of your playing partner to verify the score.

My understanding is that its live now, provided you are playing a measured course. If your course has a shortened winter course, you need to Check if that has been measured and rated as such. Mines as such is not a measured course at the moment so can't put in general play scores despite wanting too.

Do what you want, they are only guidelines. If driving to a course and playing golf I there is no issue as far as I am concerned.

Sadly if people don't adhere to the guidelines we'll be stuck with covid for longer and, quite probably, the guidelines will become law.

In Scotland is there a set distance we're allowed to travel to play golf, does it have to be in the same covid tier level ?

Tell that to people in Glasgow and Lanarkshire who are ignoring the rules and spreading the virus. Somebody driving to a golf course on their own to play in the outdoors then driving straight home is not posing a risk to anyone.

Has anyone had any success with the General Play button suddenly appearing? I've emailed Scottish Golf about it but guess it'll take a few days.

 

[williamalex1]

You get 100% if you're playing singles match play.

But not in stroke play or stableford

 

[Garush34]

2000 general play scores in put in the last week, good to see players using it.

From the Scottish Golf website...

• You should avoid travel to other areas regardless of their level unless essential.
  
• For exercise/sport – there is an exemption, however, it is limited:
  • In tier 4, not permitted to drive outside your Local Authority area for exercise – you can cross boundaries in the process of exercising i.e if a golf course straddles two Local Authority area boundaries.
  • In tier 3, you are permitted to travel around 5 miles for exercise.
  • In tier 2 & tier 1, you are permitted to travel freely for exercise within your own Local Authority area.
  • U18s – can travel freely for exercise in Tiers 0-3. They should not travel in or out of a Tier 4 area.
    
• All golfers should be aware of travel guidance outlined by the Scottish Government and this should always be followed.

When there are 1200 call outs to fire services and 12 assaults on fire crews along with hundreds of house parties broken up by police (all central belt Scotland) I fail to see an issue with people travelling on their own to have a game of golf.

We are using Intelligent Golf, at the end of the round it asks for a photo of a signed score card, no details of playing partner

Nobody really cares less about what you fail to see, the bottom line is that is what is expected. The more people that break and flaunt rules to suit themselves the higher the chances are of Scotland following Londonville into lockdown.

The index sheet the club have stuck up from Scottish Golf, i' sure is wrong, anyone under 5 index has the same handicap off all the tee;s be it black right down to the silvers which is 1700 yards shorter??

My mate down here has the same, playing off 3 on all tees even though Blue tees are 500 yards longer.

We both had playing handicaps of 5 under 'old handicap system' now he gets 3 shots off all tees and I get 3,5 and 6 off yellow, white and Blue

Cool, not sure if we will use masterscoreboard for ours or not. The info regarding the playing partner was in a document that Scottish golf sent out, so when you put the general play score through you must need to do this. I guess this is for when people are playing away from their home course.

my mate slow dave was going to stick a couple of cards in off the silvers, but told he couldn't at the moment as the clubs don't think its right either

Course rating wrong????

Well I never. The idiots that support it think its foolproof.

Joke system that isn't fit for purpose - I may have mentioned that previously though.

Yes I seem to remember that. But I don't remember your giving any ideas about a better system. Did I miss it?
