Scoring with the Golf Genius (GG) App:
Format for Stableford competition is in Golf Genius. Golf Genius will automatically generate the status of your Stableford score with dots showing which holes you have extra shots. Please see Dean before playing if any of the following is unclear:
- Each player to have their marker record their stroke score for the hole. You cannot score for yourself.
- 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.
- Do not choose who you are marking for until you reach your tee and confirm that everyone will have a marker. One player can mark for up to 3 players.
You are ready to play!
- Just put down the stroke score for each hole. GG will automatically generate your stableford score based on daily handicaps. 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 finalise the results. Please check with your playing partner re accuracy at the end of your round before confirming the scores.
Live Leaderboard
- The GG App also supplies a live leaderboard which is active for 14 holes and will then go silent to add to the suspense at Presentations.
- If you are not entering scores, you can still enter the app and follow leaderboard.
