    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I setup hole information for a course?

    There are two different ways to enter course hole information.

    The first is from the Golf Settings screen, click on the Golf Course Button. Select the Course from the list, and that takes you into the hole information.

    The second way is to start a new round of golf, as you play through the course you can enter the hole information.

    Can you talk about golfers and golfing groups?

    All group round scoring is driven from the golfing groups. It is recommended that you first setup the golfers & groups from the Golf Settings screen.

    After you have a group defined, you will want to click on the desired Golfing Group. This takes you to the Group Members screen. Initially there are no members in the group. Touch the "edit" button and then click on "Add Members To Group". Repeat the process until all members are in the group.

    A new feature that was implemented recently allows you to add golfing groups & golfers on the fly as you start your round of golf. The start round of golf wizard drives you through setting up golfers & groups.

    How do I delete information?

    You can delete the following types of information: Courses, Golfers, Groups, and Golfers in a particular group.

    While you are starting a round of golf, you can also delete a particular group from that round of golf.

    To delete these records you will complete a "swipe" gesture on the particular cell. A delete button will appear, and touch delete to complete.

    How do I delete a round of golf currently in progress?

    If for some reason you do not want to record the current round of golf you are playing you can terminate the scoring by going under the Golf Settings Screen and choosing the cancel button under "Stop Round"

    What is this account activation process?

    This provisions your user account to the golf.heywhatsthescore.com web-site. You can change your account info anytime through the application on the device.

    What does sharing data do under the Golf Settings Screen?

    This sends the data in the application on the device to the web-site. Sync'n data after each round of golf is the best approach to ensure a seam-less operation. When uploading the data you are agreeing to the terms of service.

    What scoring systems are in the application?

    We currently support three different scoring systems.

    • Match Play
    • This is the points system. Whoever has the most points by the end of the round of golf wins. Each hole is worth 1 point. If golfers tie the hole points are divided out evenly.

    • Stroke Play
    • This is whichever golfer has the lowest number of strokes per round of golf that golfer wins.

    • Scramble Play
    • This is similar to Stroke Play, except this is for groups of golfers. Whichever group has the lowest number of strokes per round of golf that golfing group wins.

    What's required to start a round of golf?

    below is the list of items required to start keeping score

    • Golf Course
    • this includes course name, and hole information (hole number, par, yards).

    • Golfers
    • a list of golfers that you are playing with for this particular round of golf.

    • Groups
    • Whether you are playing by yourself or with a group of people you need to be in a group. Groups should either be broken down into scramble teams or golfers playing stroke or match play and playing the same hole at the same time.

    It's time to start the round of golf off the Main Screen. Inside there you choose which course to play, what kind of scoring system, and which golfing groups. For each group you specify their starting hole. This is particularly useful for Corporate Golfing Tournaments where each group starts at a different hole and plays a scramble.

    Does your application work internationally?

    Yes, we believe it does, however, it is specifically written in English.
