Upsidedown, There is no mention in this article of the need for any interaction between the golfer and their home club. (or the club they visit) Have you actually used it at an away venue?
No I did not post the article. The article DID however extensively quote Gemma Hunter from England Golf.
No I haven't but that article I linked to from England Golf states I can now use their app to pre register a casual round and it will count for handicapping so once my back it better I fully intend to do so ??
No but there has been reference by others on this forum that they have done so, some have had problems with signal which has caused some issues so not totally infallibleUpsidedown, There is no mention in this article of the need for any interaction between the golfer and their home club.

Thanks the Naproxen should sort it out.Hopefully you’ll be back playing soon, before you play perhaps it might be worth while finding out how your club deals with the issue of casual cards both at home and away.
And what further checks were made by the away players home clubs to verify the verified scores of their players?
And what further checks do you deem necessary? An experienced low handicap player with a CDH ID pre-registers his round at the course he is about to play, identifies another experienced low handicap player with a CDH ID to attest his score. They both enter their scores after playing the round, the MyEG App contacts both players to verify the other player's score - job done. I don't have to get involved, their scores appear on WHS and we move on to the next event. I am not involved in the administration of the Winter Alliance so I do not know how the events were set up. All I know is that 2 of the 4 events since end of lockdown were processed via the host club's systems and the other 2 had players pre-registering and entering scores via the MyEG App.
I think you missed the point, I only mentioned our clubs procedures, other clubs are able to instigate their own providing they follow the rules of the WHS.If you have followed the thread correctly, you will realise my position is that no further checks are necessary. I am trying to establish exactly what the correct procedure is. It is another poster making the point that either home or away clubs should be involved in the process.
Wabinez. Thank you for posting. this is exactly the confirmation I was looking for.
Unless @Wabinez is a member of your club he is unable to give you any confirmation unfortunately. You will have to go by whatever procedures your club choose to operat under that conform to the requirements of the WHS.
As to clubs and committees deliberately being obtrusive, most are run by volunteers who carry out their duties to the best of their ability within the advice of the county and the requirements of the laws of the game.
I'm not sure what position @Wabinez or a few of the others have within their clubs. I'm sure, like me, many would rather not be burdened with committee functions but unfortunately most club members would rather moan about the committees than volunteer their services.
Anyway, golf course calling, enjoy the rest of your day.
To be fair, in the last 4 days I've had 2 players who pre-registered a few minutes before entering their score on howdidido.I do volunteer at my club to assist where I can, or where the club wish to use my skills, but thanks for your thought process.
clubs, IMO, need to bring themselves forwards to the 21st century and relinquish control of some aspects to make things easier.…which is easier said than done unfortunately. Golf clubs seem to think that if they relax rules, they’ll be overrun with hordes of people either dressing in football shirts and jeans playing golf, or submitting hookie golf rounds to reduce their handicaps etc.
What happens if you don’t bother entering it, who knows, that action is the same as an NR.
He pre-registered at 07:44 and entered his score at 07:47. The score was 75, and his Index went from 6.7 to 5.something. I deleted the score, as it was clearly not pre-registered and strongly suspect he was trying to manipulate his handicap downwards (I can't imagine he finished his round at 07:40ish and then would argue he simply forgot to pre-register beforehand).
Yeah. I first check Club V1 for General Play scores entered through howdidido. I then separately go to the WHS Platform to check unsubmitted scores through MyEG. To clarify, I assume the easiest way to do this is:The DotGolf WHS website shows a list of all players who have used the EG App to register their round and have not yet submitted a score. H'cap secs need to manually check this on a daily basis.
You cannot rely on your ISV software on its own anymore....the ISV s/ware does not know about pre-registered rounds via the EG App until a score is entered and the WHS adds the score to a players record. Likewise, I'm not yet convinced that a general play round registered using the ISV app (Masterscoreboard in our case) is known about by the DotGolf WHS system until a score is entered by the player.
Unfortunately it seems that neither your ISV software nor the EGApp update each other in respect of "registered intentions to submit scores"...its only when the scores have been submitted that the systems synchronise with each other.
You have to work using both systems at the moment to get an overall picture of what scores are outstanding and still need to be returned.
It may do, but that will require the Owner administrative rights, so will check when at club. Mind you, in this particular case, all that would have done is have the guy pre-register, and then just wait a few hours and enter his score. I guess anyone could do that now, but if you allow people to enter their score immediately after pre-registering, it will at least highlight a few people who have acted incorrectly.Masterscoreboard allows you to set a delay of say 3 hours between when a score intent was registered and when the score can actually be submitted. Surely HDID has a similar facility?

Reports - Unsatisfied Score Intents
However, this then asks for the club, which by default is my own club. May have been asked elsewhere, but what if my club members did not return scores at AWAY courses? How do I find this without knowing they were going to play at that course? Perhaps this is what Old Skier is getting at?
