Frequently asked questions about the Games & Score Keeping feature
Q: What is included in the Games/Score Keeping feature?
A: The main highlights of this feature include the ability to setup and track a match (using Net or Gross Score) as well as keep and digitally transfer scores to other golfers in your group.
Q: How many golfers can you keep score for or add to a match?
A: You can keep score and setup a match for golfers within your group. So the user can add up to 3 additional golfers.
Q: What is meant by transferring scores?
A: If the user is keeping score for other GHIN golfers, whether or not they are playing a match, the user will be prompted to transfer the scores to the other GHIN golfers at the end of the round. Transferred scores will appear in the other golfers’ GHIN Mobile App and can be reviewed, edited and posted by the golfers.
Q: How will golfers know they have a transferred score? How do they post them?
A: If the score keeper transfers scores to other GHIN golfers, those golfers will receive a push notification (as long as they have them enabled). Additionally, there will be a “Saved Rounds menu item as well as a prompt about a saved round when the user clicks on the “Post Score” home screen button within the GHIN Mobile App.
Golfers can then review, edit and post their score within the GHIN Mobile App.
Q: What if golfers do not have a digital profile or do not belong to a GHIN Association?
A: Those golfers can be added to a match or have their score kept, but unfortunately, transferred scores will only appear within the GHIN Mobile App. So if golfers were manually added or do not have access to the GHIN Mobile App, their scores will not be transferred.
The score keeper can always take a screen shot of their scorecard and message or email the image to other golfers.
Q: If a round ends prior to finishing the hole, do I still need to enter a score for every golfer in order to post my score?
A: If a round is cut short, the user keeping score would still need to enter a score for all golfers for the remaining holes in the round in order to post the score. Once completed, the scores can then be sent to the rest of the group for their review and editing before posting. The user also has the option to not send the scores to the other golfers.
