My Scottish Golf 4+

Useful for tracking handicap, but some basic flaws. When entering a score, if you don’t have a constant, stable mobile data connection, the scoring regularly resets, causing you to lose some scores entered since you last had access to sync. Given that most courses in Scotland aren’t in build-up areas and don’t have a phone mast in the middle of them, this seems a nonsensical requirement.

Also, you have the option in the settings to determine which push notifications you receive, however this appears to have no impact. I have “Scottish Golf Messages” switched off, but I still receive push notifications for random, unwanted, promotional messages that Scottish Golf send me.

I have waited until the season started to try the app in competitions etc, but the app is a real step backwards compared to the functionality of the app we used over the past 2 years. All the good features lost, like being able to enter a competition, see other entrants, check the draw, see live scores and results. None of that this year so far. We are back to entering competitions on a sheet of paper in the clubhouse….so much for progress! And if you book 3 places in a 4 ball, someone else can take the 4th place…really!! Why was this not sorted before the season started? Why do we have a completely new system with a new developer? Surely Scottish Golf should be dictating what we want and not leaving it to the developer….Is this going to happen every time a new contract is awarded. I could go on, but I suspect SG aren’t even listening. Not a good return for our subscriptions.

So the new app is launched, and despite the whole world using the term general play, there is no such thing on this app.

Scottish Golf have yet again decided that convention need not be followed. I suspect you need to use the “scorecard” menu - which is illogical as no one now refers to this for submitting a score. General Play is the term. Please use it, or at least try to know what the WHS system is.

Sort yourselves out. You can’t even find the app on the App Store when you search for Scottish Golf because you changed the app name and forgot to tell any of your members that you have a new app name to search for. Do you ever actually think about your members, or talk to them, or ask them? Or do you just sit in your ivory tower thinking you are useful.

Still wondering what in gods name Scottish golf does for the club member. Other than screw up app launches and waste money on the old app. I hope this one gets better.
