  • Each player to have their marker record their stroke score for the hole. You cannot score for yourself.

  • 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.
