Get your own tour database

Your tour organiser, for the annual "Beef and Bunkers" tour, decides to organise it all in one place - GolfScore Pro.  You now have your own system.

Add your players and viewers

Your tour organiser can simply add players and viewers, listing their first name, surname, nickname, phone and email address.  If they are new ANYWHERE in GolfScore Pro, they are sent an email with how to establish their password and login.  If the person is already in the system (via their email address), listed against another tour already, they are simply notified they have been added to yours.

Set up your comps

Create a comp (eg, 2022, at the Sunshine Coast).  Then, add the golf courses you will play, and link them to the comp.  These are your rounds.

 

To enable automated scoring, you need to enter the pars and indexes for the holes, and the slope for the course.  Scorecards are readily available online from most golf courses, where you can find this information. 

 

You can even choose to track fairways hit or greens in regulation.  Up to you.

Link your players

Not every player will play in every comp.  Some people will not be available, so you select which players will play this comp.  When you do, you must note their starting handicap (eg, 15.3).  This enables automated scoring.

Round 1 - you're away!

On the tee block can be when the final groups and pairings will be sorted out.  Only one person in your group need do this, and everyone is sorted... Just choose
a) who is in your group of four or so,
b) if you have a side comp going on, who is your partner, and then 
c) who's card are you marking?

 

Luckily, this is easy to do - tickboxes and buttons.

 

Now Tee off!  Heckle, grab some shots and videos.

Start scoring

A nice and easy, responsive scoring system will allow them to mark those selected players' scorecards as well as their own. 

 

The score will default to par for the hole, and you can then adjust the shots up or down, with the Stableford scoring adjusted accordingly.

 

Click on the big "P" for pickup, you can track if a fairway was hit or a green hit in regulation, if you have chosen to do this for your comp.  If you haven't, they will not be there at all!

LIVE Updates

As scoring happens, the live leaderboard updates, side bet results (like Nassau or Sixes) are clear, so everyone is in the know.  You can also see who is marking who's cards.  Those 'viewers' at home can see how you are going, for bad or for worse.

Close the round

Because you mark your own scores, and someone else officially marks your card - these scores can be compared.  Each logged-in player will be able to see if there is a discrepancy with these scores, and will be able to head back in to scoring and rectify mistakes.  The image here shows that the scoring's out - and who's card it is.

 

Once the round is able to be closed, an administrator closes it at the touch of a button.

 

Each player will be sent a personalised email summarising their results for the day, along with the current comp-wide leaderboard (if it isn't just day 1, naturally).

Why not a Calcutta?

After day 1, why not have a little wager on who you think will take out the comp this year?  You have the ability to save details on the highest bidder (and the amount) per player on tour.  Feel free to have groups of bidders - raise the stakes!  But just know you can enter the fact that Scott and James bid $120 on Jane to win the comp this year.  You have the ability to set the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Calcutta breakdown percentages per comp (usually 65%, 25% and 10%), but those breakdown figures are totally up to you.

Open the next round

The next round is opened automatically when a round is closed, with the same players are before, but with adjusted handicaps.  If you do NOT want to adjust handicaps based on daily performance, then these values can be set at zero for the lot when you create the comp - move on to the next section!

 

But, if you wanted to use this, you have the ability to set handicap adjustments for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 3rd last, 2nd last and last place in a round.  The usual setup is:

1st :   -3

2nd:  -2

3rd:   -1

3rd last:   +1

2nd last:  +2

Last:  +3

 

This can be a fun and levelling experience for the tour.  These adjustments are also accumulative, so if you win both day 1 and day 2, you go into day 3 with 6 handicap points less!  Serves you right.

 

These handicap adjustments are applied after the slope rating calculation.  For example, you started the comp with a handicap of 18.  On day 3, after winning days 1 and 2, you are playing a course with a slope rating of 120.  The playing handicap calculation for day 3 will be:

 

(18/133*120)  - 6  (for those two wining days) = 13

Rinse, repeat

Ensure that all playing groups are set for the day's play, and people know who's card they will mark.

 

Play, score, head to the clubhouse for a detailed re-enactment of how one of your tour group fell into the water hazard on the 16th.

Close off the comp

On the last day, closing the round is indeed closing the comp, with the winner, runner up and third set in stone, and the tour's Honour Board updated.

 

Just make sure they handle the engraving for next year.

 

Calcutta winners are also displayed, so the right cash can change hands.

 

Sit back, and enjoy this great tour.  

We need proof!!

You may want to add content to the Comp, or one of the rounds.  Say you want to upload a photo of the winners and losers.  They guy who fell into the hazard on 16th, immortalised in video.  You can.

 

Easily add text, photos, videos or YouTube videos to a specific round or comp.  Admins can monitor this content and hide, reinstate or totally remove content.

 

But, it is a great way to remember who handed the cup over to whom, and that priceless cheeky grin that always brings us back.
