SCORING WITH GOLF GENIUS APP

  • Search for Golf Genius in the Apple App Store or Android equivalent. Enter the GGID for your tee group (these are found in the tee sheets and/or sent to you via SMS prior to the round). Touch your name and you are ready to score for your group.
  • One player can input the group’s stroke scores into the GG App after each hole.
  • GG converts the stroke scores to stableford scores.
  • Scorers in each group please take care to enter the correct stroke scores!
  • After golf, just put in your results for your 18th hole and that is it.  There is no “Round Complete” button to push for Golf Genius.

 

Live Leaderboard

  • The GG App also supplies a live leaderboard which is active for 14 holes.  Mystery after that!
  • If you are not entering scores, you can still enter the GGID into the app and follow leaderboard.
