Scoring with the Golf Genius (GG) App:

Format for Stableford competition is in Golf Genius. Golf Genius will automatically generate the score. Please see Dean before playing if any of the following is unclear: 

  • Any player can score for up to 3 players. You cannot score for yourself.  So, each group will have at least 2 people scoring.
  • 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.
  • Choose your players to mark for in the player list when at your starting tee.

You are ready to play!

  • Just put down the stroke score for each hole. GG converts the stroke scores for Stableford results. 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 start the results and presentations. Please check with your playing partners 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.  (after that, scores are hidden until the presentation)
  • If you are not entering scores, you can still enter the GGID into the app and follow leaderboard.

If you have any questions, reply to dean@sgatour.com.au  or please give me a call on the number below.

Looking forward to seeing you Friday and having a great day!

Kind regards,
