WNL Week 1 Recap (4/24/24)

Week 1 is in the books and the weather conditions could not have been better!

NOTE FROM RICHARD: We have confirmed that when posting the 9-hole scores from Golf Genius you CANNOT add stats after the fact in the GHIN App. However, it does work for 18-hole rounds (i.e. Weekend Tournaments). Golf Genius is aware of this, working on an update but we do not have a timeline yet. I apologize for misspeaking about this as the 18-hole vs 9-hole limitation wasn’t listed in their support documents.

Scoring: Thank you all for your patience as we worked through some of the kinks in our new league scoring system. All scores have now been entered and posted to your GHIN.

Team Standings: Working on a way to automate. You can use the Team Points in Golf Genius in the interim.

Housekeeping Items:

• Pace of Play: We averaged 2:20 – 2:30.
  • Continue reminding your team and playing partner to play ready golf and putt out when on the green.
    
• Scorecards: Scorecard hygiene was mostly good, but there were some ugly ones…
  • Confirm your handicap using the GHIN app before teeing off.
    • We had 7 incorrect handicaps this week. GHIN and Golf Genius are our source of truth for handicaps, not the scorecard.
    • You may want to check your playing partners handicap as well…

• Tee field: Should be either BW or Gold.
  • If we don’t know you played on the gold tees, we’re assuming you were on the Blue / White if it is not filled in.
    
• Scoring: These fields are separated by matches not by teams. 
  • Example: You and your opponent should be on the top 2 lines. Your partner and their opponent should be on the bottom 2 lines.
    
• Completeness: Need card filled out completely. team numbers, handicaps, gross scores, match points
  • This is used to validate data entry into Golf Genius
    
• Other Stats: For ease of legibility, the official card should not include anything other than the fields that are on there.
  • Circles for wins and dots for handicap holes are acceptable.
  • If people want to keep track of net points, how much they’re up down, etc…  use a separate card for that.
    
• This is what good looks like. We may start a “Hall of Shame” for ugly cards going forward.
