Mobile Scoring — Member Tester Guide

We’re testing a phone version of tournament scoring, and you’re invited to try it. Nothing about the normal routine changes — you still keep and turn in the paper card. The app just rides along, and after your group submits, every player with an email on file gets the full scorecard by email. Here’s all you need to know.

Skins (Member Appreciation Day): the skins are worked out from the app’s hole-by-hole scores, so make sure your group scores in the app.

Narrated, in six chapters, recorded on the real app (with made-up demo players) — everything from first tap to submit, plus the special cases. Tap a chapter to jump straight there:

Narrated — and the on-screen captions carry everything too, so it works fine on mute.

Before tournament day

• Bookmark the page (once): open haverstrawgolfclub.com/score/ in your normal browser and save it to your bookmarks or favorites. Nothing to install — it runs in the browser like any other web page.
• Make sure the club has your email — send your address to tournaments@haverstrawgolfclub.com. After each round, a copy of your group’s scorecard is emailed to that address.
• Watch for the event code — the club uses one standing code, sent by text, usually as a tap-to-open link (or a QR at the first tee). Tapping it unlocks scoring automatically; you can always type the code instead.

During the round

1. 1Two scorekeepers per group. One keeps the paper card as always; another volunteers as marker and scores in the app. Everyone else just plays — or follows along live (see below).
2. 2Unlock. The marker scans the QR poster or taps the texted link — or just types the code (capitals don’t matter). Some weekends host two tournaments: the app then asks which event your group is playing, and its name shows at the top all round.
3. 3Build the group. Marker: add yourself first — the attester must be someone else in the group. Then add each player by name — start typing a first or last name (any capitals, a few letters is enough) and tap the right name in the list. When your name goes in, confirm your tee — the dropdown sets your course handicap (locked to Friday morning’s update). Cartmates entered in different events? See “Two events, one weekend” below. Shotgun events (like Member Appreciation Day): the app first asks which hole your group starts on — pick it at the top of the screen; Start scoring waits until you do. Scoring then runs on through 18 to hole 1.
4. 4Score hole by hole. Tap + / − per player (first tap = par), then the big Hole 2 › button pinned at the bottom of the screen — it takes you back up to the first player on the next hole. Red = birdie or better, black = par, blue = bogey or worse; green dots mark handicap-stroke holes, and each player’s card shows a running net-to-par figure. A standings line under the cards keeps the group’s race current. At the turn, check everyone’s Front 9 — gross with the green net beside it — against the paper card (started on another hole? the app shows each nine’s check as you finish it). Team events show a live team-net strip.
5. 5Reconcile & attest. After 18, the Review screen shows everyone’s full 18-hole card — colors, stroke dots, and a green net row under each nine. Team events add each team’s counting-ball row — the team’s net per hole at the event’s allowance, initials showing whose ball counted — so the team score can be checked hole by hole too. Read it all against the paper card together, then a second player attests — same as signing. Spot a wrong number? Tap that hole on the card and the app jumps straight to it — fix it, then tap ‹ Back to Review in the middle of the bar at the bottom of the screen. No stepping back one hole at a time. (A tagged Attester — not playing is already selected, with an Attesting only badge on their card.)
6. 6Submit once — then turn in the signed paper card. Spot a mistake later? Reopen with “Fix something,” correct it, resubmit — the latest submission counts. Fixes and unsent scores must go through before the event’s window closes — usually Monday night, the same day for one-day events like Member Appreciation Day. After that, corrections go to the committee.

Player tags — teams, singles & attesters

On team events, the marker taps the button beside each name to set how that player competes. Each tap moves one step:

Tap to set team → Team 1 → Team 2 → Indiv — points only → Attester — not playing → back to blank (4-man events have only Team 1 — the whole foursome is one team)

• Team 1 / Team 2 — in the team competition (a 2-man event splits a foursome 2 & 2).
• Indiv — points only — no partner, or a player short? Your round still counts for season Challenge Cup points, just not the team prize. A team must be complete — a 4-man event needs all four cards, and the app won’t start or submit a team of three. If a teammate can’t play, tag the rest Indiv — points only (and the non-player Attester — not playing if they’re along to sign).
• Attester — not playing — along only to sign off. Their card gets no score buttons, so nothing can land on them by accident. (Singles events: tap Tap if attesting only beside the name instead.)

Alternate-hole events add a second, colored chip to each tagged player — the holes their ball counts on:

P1 · 1·5·9·13·17 P2 · 2·6·10·14·18 P3 · 3·7·11·15 P4 · 4·8·12·16

The rotation follows the order you added the players, so it usually needs no change — but if your team is playing it differently, tap a chip to swap that player’s spot with the next one until the chips match the order you’re actually playing. (A two-man alternate-hole event just reads P1 · Odd holes / P2 · Even holes.) Enter every player’s score on every hole as usual — the app works out which ball counts, and the Review screen lists the rotation so you can check it before signing.

The chip stays on each player’s card while you score, too — and on the card whose ball counts for the hole you’re entering, YOUR HOLE appears beside the − button. It moves with the rotation as you page through the holes, so you never have to work out whose ball counts; the other three chips dim on that hole. On the scoring screen the chips are only a reminder — the rotation is set on the group screen, and it locks for good the moment your team has a score on the board.

Playing alone? Every submission needs an attesting member — the app reminds you from hole 1, and you can add them with “‹ Edit group” any time, even back at the clubhouse after the round.

Age-division events (e.g. Under 60 - Over 60) tag players the same way, with a division badge instead of a team button — tap it to set which sign-up sheet a player is on: Tap to set division → Under 60 → 60 & Over → back to Under 60. The badge sets that player’s tee for you — Under 60 plays White, 60 & Over plays Gold — so there’s no separate tee to pick or get wrong. Women get one extra chip next to the badge, ● Red tees — Red by default; tap it to switch to ● Gold tees and back. White is never offered to a woman on this event. The division badge also stays beside each player’s name while you score — worth a glance for the women in the group, whose tee doesn’t give the division away the way White and Gold do for the men.

Watch the round live — every event

The other players in the group — or anyone at the club — can follow the card as the marker fills it in, like a paper card passed around:

1. 1Open the scoring page and tap “Watching only? See live scoring” — enter the same event code, pick the event, pick your group. (Tapped the group’s link and landed on the player screen instead? Use “Not the marker? Watch this round live.”)
2. 2Read the board. Everyone’s holes with the same colors and stroke dots, running totals, a net-to-par figure per player, and a 🏆 on the current leader. It refreshes itself every 45 seconds — or tap Refresh.
3. 3It’s read-only. The marker’s phone is the scorecard; watching never changes a number. If the board says the last update is a while old, the marker is probably in a dead spot — scores catch up when signal returns.

Two events, one weekend (rare)

About once a season, two tournaments share a weekend. The same code and QR work — the app just asks one extra question:

1. 1Choose your option. After the code, two boxes appear. Option 1 — most groups: everyone in your group plays the same event — pick which one and everything works exactly like a normal weekend. Option 2: players in your group are entered in different events — tap “Set up mixed group.”
2. 2Mixed group: tag each player’s event. A colored event button sits beside each name — tap it to set that player’s tournament. Tees and handicaps follow each player’s own event, and the tag stays beside their name all round. Tagged someone wrong? Tap the button again on the group screen — their entered scores are kept.
3. 3One attestation covers the whole card. By attesting you confirm the scores for every player in the group — both events — against the paper card, not just your own tournament’s. The app then submits one entry per event automatically.
4. 4Watching? Same code — you’ll pick the event, then the group. A mixed group shows up under each event with its own players.

After you submit — check your email

Every player with an email on file gets the same message: your group’s full scorecard.

• Everyone’s hole-by-hole scores in the app’s colors, dots on your handicap-stroke holes, and a net row for each nine
• Team events add each team’s counting-ball card — whose ball counted, hole by hole
• Your own section is tagged your scores

Non-playing attesters and anyone with no scores don’t get a copy. First time? Check spam/junk. Replies go straight to the tournament committee.
