Victorian Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) **** me. Now I'm getting the prompt to photograph and upload the card. 4 hours after putting the card in a box provided for the purpose of cards that could not be uploaded. I have a photo of it but you can't upload it from your gallery, only from the prompt to photograph and upload. If they hadn't told people to put them in a box, I would still have the damn thing.

It's crapp. It worked fine last time but they've made changes and now it's gone wrong again. You should get a prompt after entering a score to upload a photo of the card but didn't get it. Peoples' scores are all over the place as well. Head scratcher re the duplicated score in the list off two different handicaps. The first week of our score entry via the app was a stableford comp. Like any other time, all you need to do is put in your gross score per hole and the system does the rest. Some dafty input their stableford scores per hole and were on the live leader board with 70+ points! 😂 The two's sweep had them down for about 10 stakes to be claimed too. 🤭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's any need for cards or photos. All you need do is verbally agree the scores are entered correctly and put in a digital signature box, as they do have already.

Emailed the photographed cards to myself. Saved as good an image as I could manage. Photographed the computer screen from the upload prompt and uploaded them. They're not that clear but I no longer care. Will need the css to go up by 2 to buffer and it looks possible after seeing the scores.

It's an upgrade for the club because it is now a content management system so they can easily make changes/add content etc, where as before I think they were paying someone to edit the HTML. Their app is free to download and I presume my access is granted by my club being signed up to it. It is quite useful as it has an index of all members so you can ping them a message within the app rather than having to find out email address or phone number. The website has the same functionality. The app also shows my club house balance. Not that I'll be able to spend it on a post round pint any time soon.

They've not had any comps since Re-opening so not needed to submit anything yet. They are looking to open up the Torrance course shortly which is a bonus. They are giving access to four balls shortly and the range is up and running again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victorian Posted July 7, 2020 Author Share Posted July 7, 2020 Just bought an Adams Tight Lies 2.0 5-fairway (19 degree) and 5-hybrid (25 degree). I had two of the hybrids before as I love the small head shape and rounded leading edge on these. But I got them with the stiff shafted Kuro Kage shafts which proved to be way too stiff. Giving them another go with the regular shafts. Been really toiling to find a consistent shot with the various fairways and hybrids I have. This will have to be a long term project to stick to. No more chopping and changing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on how thorough they check the players details. When I played, the game in front included non players walking around with them. I can't see how that scenario differs from having 4 players (sharing households or not). They never checked our address details either so all parties in my group got the game at the Fife rate. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmfc_liam06 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 One of the most frustrating rounds of my life tonight. Thursday stableford comp. Out in 21 points including 2 holes where I was 3 off the tee. Then back 9, another two holes 3 off the tee and left 5 putts for par practically hanging over the hole. Ended up with 35 points.

joondalupjambo Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) Lundin just announced comps back on 18th July and the rules for visiting the clubhouse from the 15th July onwards. The former is a the start of comps that run up until 3rd October then the other three weeks in that month are the ones like Pro's Sweep, Four Club Challenge etc. The rules for using the clubhouse are so complicated that degrees in logistics and health care are needed in order to get anywhere near the bar!! Then once inside it is more or less self service in a restricted area where you are not allowed to get out of your seat unless to collect your chips. The going to the loo involves exiting the clubhouse, wandering around the car park, turning around six times, clapping four times, doing the paddy bar for 20 seconds and then entering via another door. All sounds way too Masonic to me 😄 To be serious it no way entices you to anywhere near the place to be honest. Our clubhouse is usually dead as it is and so the rules could make it worse I would have thought, if that is at all possible. And to think the only pub in the village is staying closed until at least the first week of August so the club has a great chance to get some more income over the bar. If it is as hard to get a bowl of chips as it looks goodness what it will be like to get a pint in the place!! On the subject of Dumbarnie the club have been allocated four ball tee times and it looks like they are going to use these one day in late August. There will be a members ballot to chose the players who can go, that should be fun. We were told that Dumbarnie invited us, we did not ask to get this £29 quid deal. My understanding previously was that it was only a certain number of clubs in and around the St Andrews area plus us, and Leven and Ladybank I think, that were invited. I wonder if due to spare tee times they will extend the club tee times to Fife clubs or others further afield in Scotland that ask for one? It will be interesting to see what clubs actually end up getting this option. We were also told that they were not asking for addresses because they were selling rounds during the 5 mile travel restriction period. By not asking they were not guilty of supporting the longer travel, tactics I think. Now that has been lifted it will be again interesting to see if they ask for proof on arrival.

Regarding Dumbarnie, it was interesting to learn that the various clubs associated with Crail had utilised the £29 tee times in June.

I wonder why Crail did that and not wait for four balls because once you use your club day and tee times you would think that was it, a one off. If they also were members from the different in-house clubs then they got a bargain for sure. I know a lot of Pro's played in June but thought that was linked to Pro golf being played again worldwide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They possibly got a lot more tee times as I think there was an abundance of availability early doors. I think Connor Syme, Marc Warren, Richie Ramsay and Robert McIntyre were all there a couple of weeks back. Stephen Gallagher was there not long after it opened.

Irufushi Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Anyone heard anything with regards to handicaps lapsing?

Our clubhouse is opening next week but we still will not be allowed to use our lockers. Will that not be the case because of social distancing rules? We did not even have Tap and Go payment when lock down started but the club have been forced down that route in order to meet Covid guidance and the re-opening of the clubhouse. Welcome to the modern world. If we suggested the use of an app for booking tables and time slots the majority of committee members would faint😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
