Scoring with the Golf Genius (GG) App:

Format for Matchplay competition is in Golf Genius. Golf Genius will automatically generate the result of the hole taking into account daily handicaps and where shots are given. Please see Dean before playing if any of the following is unclear: 

  • Matchplay scoring.  Each player to score for your Matchplay opponent by entering stroke score for the hole.
  • Log into the app via your email and password (i.e., don’t go in via a previous GGID).
  • Check-In when at the course.  The Today’s Events window may require you to swipe to find our event and see the Check-In option.
  • Choose your player to mark for in the player list when at your starting tee.

You are ready to play!

  • Just put down the stroke score for each hole. GG converts the stroke scores for Hole Result. If you have a wipe, just put in X as the score.
  • At the end of the round, you need to confirm the scoring before we can start the results and presentations. Please check with your playing partners re accuracy at the end of your round before confirming the scores.  Yellow highlighted scores means there is a discrepancy between your own score and your markers!

 

Live Leaderboard

  • The GG App also supplies a live leaderboard which is active for 18 holes.  
  • If you are not entering scores, you can still enter the GGID into the app and follow leaderboard.
