LIVE SCORING

[Jesse Schmidt]

For letting friends follow along from their office cubicles back home, I use the Golf Pad app. It provides a satellite picture of the hole and you can set it up such that you tag each shot so they can see exactly how you played the hole. However, during a round I have other stuff on my mind, like wondering if I will see the beer cart before my cooler runs out so I just enter my score for the hole along with FIR, GIR and # of putts. It is good enough. It provides a link to your round that you can share out and updates in real time as you enter your scores. People seem to enjoy it and depending on your friends and how your round is going you may get some pep talk texts or some harassing messages to lighten the mood after a bad hole.

Also, Golf Pad is a pretty decent GPS so it can be helpful during your round, especially on unfamiliar courses. This is my 5th year, so far I haven’t had a repeat course yet.

Correct Bruce…Rarely are the days scores not electronically posted by 430-5pm!

The Grint is another option for live scoring

Just saying. I will be sharing my rounds on THP so they can follow along.

Ok what about the players that are from another country and don’t have a phone plan for the US. I am from Canada but fortunately I have a US cell phone. Rates for Canadians using their phones in the US is expensive.

The way it worked was 1 person in each group had to enter scores. The irony of it was that the 75 year old was the one who wanted to be that person.

Its really pretty simple but I can see how in a tourney this size it could be more difficult.
