MiScore App
Posted on: 3 January
Dear Members,
As you may have heard Links Golf & Wellbeing is moving from physical scorecards to the MiScore Mobile App.
Links Golf & Wellbeing has purchased a club subscription for the MiScore App, from Wednesday 20th December 2023 all members are able to download the MiScore App free of charge and start to get familiar with all the features and use for all competitions. We would encourage all members to embrace this and download the MiScore App as soon as possible to start getting familiar with its features and scoring.
The full transition will occur Monday, 15th January 2024.
We would like all members to familiarise themselves with the App ASAP, because from Monday 15th January 2024 we will no longer be using paper scorecards, scanning etc. Once we have 70% of the membership base using the MiScore App we will also be able to effectively utilise the “PACE OF PLAY” functionality in the MiScore App.
In addition to scoring and Pace of Play functionality, we have enabled the NTP function on the MiScore App. We will have measuring tape on the flagsticks on the holes we use for NTP’s and APP Shots. To accurately measure how far your ball is from the hole place the end of the flagstick flush with the side of the cup closest to your ball (not in the middle of the cup) and measure the distance from the hole to your golf ball. As soon as flagsticks are installed on course, we will let you know so that you can trial in readiness for 15th January 2024.
All members will still be required to check in at the golf shop every time they play whether it be a social or competition round.
Everything you need to know along with FAQ’s is listed below:
MiScore is an approved scoring method aligned with the 2019 rules of golf. To use the MiScore App for competition scoring, you need a valid membership with an Australian Golf Club using MiClub golf management software. Download MiScore from the App Store or Google Play Store. Add Links Hope Island in the home club section, login using your membership name as password as you would when logging in on your home computer / tablet or mobile phone. To begin using the App in a competition, simply select a playing partner in your group to mark for and then continue score entry. Score by applying a gross score value for each hole before swiping to the next. When all scores are entered, validate the player results with digital a signature and submit for verification. It is your responsibility to ensure not just your score is correct, but your playing partners score is also correct. The easiest way to do this is throughout the round, pay attention to not just your own ball, but your playing partners ball also. At the end of each hole, have the conversation with your marker about what they had. Do not leave the conversation to the end of the round.
Is MiScore compatible with all smartphones?
Most of them. MiScore has been successfully used on a very wide range of smartphones. MiClub is always available to assist when required to test any new devices.
Is digital scoring approved by the R&A?
Yes, MiScore App is an approved method of scoring under the rules of golf 3.3b(2)/1.
Will players still have the option to use a scorecard?
Yes, players will still have the option to use a physical card to record their score. At the end of your round, you will be required to manually enter your score for each hole into the computer in the pro shop to submit your score. Scorecards without submission online will not be accepted toward competition results.
