World Handicap System (WHS)

[Deleted member 15717]

Used the EG app to enter a score this afternoon, easy to sign in and add Hid as player 2. Easy to update scores after each hole with a running total of how many over par and stable Ford points, didn't use side match but will next time. Finished round, signed the box and submitted. Only niggle is you don't get a notification that there is a message to verify Hid score, might be in settings?. Overall for ease of use 9/10.Wouod be 10 for the notification

Is the app ready to go for score entry then? I know the android version had a note on the release notes staying scores entered wouldn’t count towards handicapping

Will see tomorrow, messages on both our pages say score has been approved.

Great if you can post confirmation tomorrow- possible your h/c sec will have to accept the score to affect yr h/c - this was the case for “away” scores.

Talked to H/C sec ,he has looked and no record under ClubV1 for our rounds as casual rounds so has entered scores for us . he was also disappointed that scores can't be entered via the app, what's the point of releasing it if it doesn't do it !! Rounds now showing in the EG app awaiting HI update overnight. Will amend rating to 8/10 as it can't be used for handicapping yet

My wife has entered a couple of general play scores via the Scottish Golf app and they've gone through no problem - I'd have thought the English one would be similar.

That's what we thought would be the case but as per Wabinez post apparently not

I know it is coming very soon. Why they would release the option to score, but it mean nothing for your handicap makes no sense at all

 

[Leftie5.6]

It's not just pending and the EG servers update in the early hours tomorrow?

Indeed, unless they are just trialling it for "Nomads " ? as the GPS bit certainly picked up where we were. For future rounds will use the ClubV1 app scoring input , does that go hole by hole as you play or do you have to wait until round completed , it's all a voyage of discovery , a bit like my putting today

I don't think as even though it said the round was approved it wasn't showing in my playing record on the app but once the round was entered as a casual round in ClubV1 it was showing in the EG app and in my HDID record .

If your using V1 you can enter scores via HDID.

Can you enter your scores hole by hole as you play?

Why would you want to, it would result in even slower rounds of golf.

Not on today's evidence, pulled phone out as you would a scorecard, tapped on the hole +or - for the score and done. Probably faster than writing a score physically ?

For very few perhaps but for the majority unlikely. I don’t know many golfers carry a phone in their back pocket.

We’ve been entering scores through the app only for weeks and it’s quicker than writing on a scorecard ??

For all that use a phone app as GPS they're already doing it, or conversely the phone is in a pocket in the bag. Granted only practical for non rainy days ??. But for others so much easier and saves using a scorecard and saves a wee bit more of the planet, we'll OK may be not ??

I carry my phone in a pocket on my golf bag, similar to my scorecard.

get to the next tee, enter the score when others are teeing off. Job done.

Just think of those (of us ) who can only just see a score card without having to fiddle with screen locks, and for those of us living in the West Country, the SUN

 

[davidy233]

I have a phone in my back pocket every round - not used it to input scores during a round but I'd have no qualms doing it - as for rain, my phone is waterproof and I still remember that round at Cruden Bay where my (issued to me at desk on check-in in an Open with name printed on it) card had disintegrated by the 13th in howling gale and pouring rain.

Would be pretty cool if the apps like HDID started doing that, and they could show live leaderboards
