Scottish golf app- projected WHS

I can’t check what courses are listed to enter a general play score because “you need to be at a course to initiate a general play score”

The affliction of poor location services design strikes again. What’s wrong with letting me look at a list and searching and choosing?

Thinking this through, to learn how it works, I have to actually go to a course and start a general play score which I’m then committed to finish and enter scores hole by hole as I play.

Hmm. Fine, I guess. :poop:

I had this same issue yesterday, was looking at it when having our committee meeting. It worked in the morning for me, but wouldn't at night. Had to allow permission for the location services even though it had worked before. Although saying that, Id be less than a mile from my club. So maybe worth a check your location is allowed by the app.

Annoyingly for me my club doesn't have their winter course measured and the match committee don't think many people will want to put in extra scores over the winter so only allowing them in season.

Yeah, checked all that. It doesn’t actually let you past the “General Play Score” button if you don’t have location services enabled. So enabling it lets it proceed but then shows the ”You must be at a course...” error.

It’s not a big deal, it’s just another shonky exhibit in the SG hall of fame.

My app is set to allow the use of GPS Location services but I don't have the General Play Score button. Guessing I'll be getting another update in the next day or two.
 
We are going with Intelligent Golf and their app.
Pal entered a score today using that and it is showing up as pending on his SG app.
Might give it a go this weekend is weather is decent.
 
Our winter league is non qualifying (we play off mats at par 3's) but comp is played off yellow tees which we have a rating and slope for.

Would I be able to enter my score this Saturday as general play so it counts as part of my 20?

That in itself doesn't make it "non-qualifying"

You should be allocated that when you get a handicap. At this point you may want to join “How Did I Do” if your club use it. If not then your handicap officials should let you know it.
 
My opinion to play general scores is now live on the app.

Go into handicap - its above my index - tap the button to allow you to play.

Glad its all sorted.

I filled in the ScottishGolf support form to ask about why my handicap was displayed in red and why I didn't have the general play button.

Today I got a couple of automated emails from them saying I was now a member of my club and that my email address had changed. Both of those should have been fine so I suspect they had some sort of mismatch behind the scenes. Anyway, my handicap now shows blue and I can see the general play button. Just need to wait until spring so I can use it :D

Why not put in scores now?
I am planning on putting in a general play score tomorrow and perhaps Sunday.

Course isn't playing as a properly measured course at the moment. Winter tees everywhere and a few temporary greens. Maybe if I find myself playing down the coast at some point I'll give it a go.

It actually raises an interesting question. With the app you don't need to speak to anyone in the club to put in a score. So who's going to stop invalid scores going in when temps are on etc?

If your system is the same as England’s the home club still have to accept casu/supplementary scores before they take effect.
