Scottish Golf has formally confirmed that their new system CANNOT collect advance entries for competitions. It is driven by the tee sheet and you must have a tee time booked to enter a competition. (It is therefore not fit for purpose to use as the main management system for any golf club that runs member competitions, but that's just my humble opinion!)
We will therefore proceed as follows:
The April Medal on Wed 5 April will not have a ballot and we will use this as an opportunity to learn how to use the phone card/scoring system.
1) Tee sheet booking for Wed 5 April will open this Wed 29 March. Those wishing to enter the medal should book a time - just add yourself in to a time and others will join you or arrange a group if you wish (Max 3 players).
2) After booking a time, go into the Events tab on your App (bottom right) and select Ladies April Medal. You will be prompted to confirm (click "basket") and then have to "Check out" to pay the entry fee. This will only work if your account has sufficient funds. For info on how to Top Up, see email sent previously by the club or ask for advice from Club or Pro Shop.
3) On the day of the medal ARRIVE EXTRA EARLY. Everyone will individually have to create a Competition Score Card on their phone app. You don't HAVE to score on your phone on the way round the course, you can use the Club iPad when you finish your round, but you have to create the score card before you start. Everyone should visit the Pro Shop when they arrive so Stuart can show you how to do this.
4) All scores must be entered (on phone or iPad), checked as correct and signed off BEFORE you leave the club. There is a geographical restriction on where scores can be entered and this must be close to the club, cannot be done from home or "sorted" later.
The above instructions also apply for the Saturday Medal on 8 April, with booking open on Saturday 1 April.
As previously advised, sign-ups for the Yellow Ball Tri-Am on Wed 12 April should be done on the sheet on the Ladies Locker Room Notice board. Make sure you sign up and pay your £2 by Monday 3 April to be included in the draw.
Late Update: We have just been advised that the Club is insisting on fairway mat use for a further 2 weeks and therefore the April medals will be non-counting for handicap purposes.
