with the app last year (think its now changed) you had to start the round when you started, but then you could just enter a name and phone number and sign a squiggle as the scorer.
If players are going to play in comps then at least 5/6 of his comp scores should make up his handicap.
Nope, just tried it - I'm close enough to the course to start a scorecard from my desk - and "select marker" means the set of tees you're playing. Then you're off. I don't do GP cards so I can't tell you at what stage if any a marker needs entered, the SG App is still a horrendous mess
Now Scottish Golf is using the same software provider as the rest of GB&I, the app should function in the same way. In which case the attester is specified as part of the score submission process.
Mate, I don't know how many times we've got to ask you not to muddy the waters when you haven't got a clue what's happening in Scotland.
Thanks for that, it is interesting that entering the score within the 2 hours for 18 holes or 1 hour for 9 holes just gives you a warning telling you not to do it. Surely it should go straight to rejecting the score because it was clearly not pre-registered. Why give players the opportunity to do it wrong?
How to Guide there, but yes looks like now the marker must either be a club member or an Open Play member, a casual golfer with no club & CDH number won't be a valid marker.
Having watched the video, the app is exactly the same as the EG one and the process for GP scores is exactly the same (feign surprise).Mate, I don't know how many times we've got to ask you not to muddy the waters when you haven't got a clue what's happening in Scotland.
The App is NOT the same, yes dotgolf are the providers but SG have their own spec, and they have Beta tested either appallingly, or not at all, and it appears not at all. They are months behind, you can't even book a guest on to your course properly even now 3 months plus after launch, results of comps can't be published etc. But you'll already know all of this of course
Exactly the same as EG then

You can't book guests on the EG App?
when you say book guests?
Nope, as in book a guest on to the course
That's where you book guests, through the app. The club takes the money. So what you're saying then is that the SG App & the EG App are not the same?
They really are bloody useless, those of us involved at our club are convinced that they can't even spell Beta Test never mind actually do any. Imagine launching an App where you can't actually book on guests, and after three months the workaround they finally got is to create a number of "members" called 'Guest' and book that member on as your guest. An utter joke
Oh dear, from the responses above, it appears that (quelle suprise) the App is not the same at all, whodda thunkit of you eh?
I had a question from a Scottish friend of mine the other day querying if, we in England, had any issues with entering scoring in competitions via the England Golf app. Seemingly he/his club was having issues. I had to tell him that the EG App had no facility to manage competitions or add competition scores and that it was merely a tool for entering GP scores and tracking your handicap, or working out how many shots you get on a particular course.
