All Thursday 18 Hole League players should be prepared for electronic scoring! Download the Bluegolf Scorecard app at the link below if you do not have it. For Men’s Club events we do not use the WSGA app, live scoring with that app is for WSGA tournaments only. This is our 4th year utilizing BlueGolf live scoring and the app is free and easy to use.
Once you install the app and log in you will see the screen as shown below (with your name on it). Click on the event you are playing to open the scorecard. One member of each group will be the designated scorer for the event, usually the first one in the group to open the app and click on the event being played. If you are not the scorer, you can look at the card to verify correct score entry, check leaderboards, etc. If the app ever freezes up or gets stuck, its best to swipe the app away to close it, then go back in again.
After the round is finished, the scorer will need to verify scores for all players and sign the card. If there is a no show and you did not enter a score for someone in the group you will not be able to sign the card – that is OK! The scores are still entered and we will handle it after the round.
One person in the group should also fill out the paper scorecard – someone other than the electronic scorer. This scorecard should be turned in at the pro shop counter after completion of play. We use this as a double-check if there are scoring issues or typos – it saves a lot of phone calls / emails back and forth for the officers. We may decide to discontinue the paper scorecard at some point, we are not quite there yet but close.
If you are new and have questions, ask your playing partners that have done the scoring before. Joe and Dave will be available after everyone finishes this week to help with any questions or issues that arise.
