Seems like the "update initial handicap" function on the WHS Dotgolf system doesn't work.

I changed the indexes of a couple of players who had been given a WHS index the same as their CONGU handicap yesterday, and today I have found that the indexes have reverted back to their old values overnight.

We have over 90 players who did not put in card in the last 3 years. Checked a few to see H.I.s same as their UHS handicap hardly seems worth bothering to change theirs.

Yes, we are back on the course. All of our winter comps are non acceptable, however. First one was today. Note that on ClubV1 at least you have to manually insert the 95% multiplier for a singles comp. For an acceptable comp it seems to do it automatically.

Makes sense I suppose.

Not sure about Wales but we held NQ before lockdown successfully and our first one back is a Q, nothing like testing a system by using it :eek:
We had a qualifier the day before lockdown - it's still sitting there as Club V1 isn't talking to the EG Platform at the moment apparently.

Have you checked with Club Systems, mind you they might be waiting for EG to get their act together.
Yes - they as still trying to sort the APIs out apparently - seems it's difficult to discuss things directly as there's a time difference between uk & NZ (who'd have thought!)

The corrupt data issue has now been resolved. You should be able to see your members details and the will now be able t activate their accounts on the WHS platform.

Information from the clubs system is now updated direct onto the WHS platform.

If any scores (before 2 November 2020) from a golfer’s playing record do not appear on the WHS system this is down to the fact that the information was never transferred to the CDH via the club’s software.

You can post the missing scores directly onto the England Golf WHS Golf Club Platform. We are also in conversation with club software providers to facilitate a transfer of ‘missing’ scores which only appear on club records.

With regard to members with no email.
For the new World Handicap System (WHS), it would be preferable for each individual to provide a unique email address along with their date of birth. Without both an email and DOB then a WHS handicap index will not be received.

In such circumstances where an individual does not have an email address and does not intend to obtain one, then it is acceptable to share an email address with a family member or friend. Please ensure the correct email address is updated on the club system.

I can't now find the thread but someone said that the DotGolf staff are all in New Zealand. Not all. The team working on the UK transition are all in England.

I definitely saw an email, I think it was from Club V1, who said one of the challenges are the time differences between us and New Zealand, when trying to resolve software issues.

Today I got a reply from Wales Golf regarding no partially NRd round being transferred across at the initial data transfer. Here is the reply:

To confirm, NR’s rounds could not be included in the transition.

Let's hope partial NR scores will be transferred from ISVs to databases now.

But they said they could not be?!
