They're already recorded on Golf Ireland App, does a handicap secretary/committee not have access to the data on golf ireland app? The weird thing is, that you can submit a score through BRS for a competition and not have to produce a card, but for general play, you have to submit a physical scorecard. Seems wrong.

Required to submit physical scorecard for casual rounds if playing for handicap and the secondary step of uploading scores to the club app (Intelligent Golf) which I believe is then synced to Golf Ireland as my scores appear there without me inputting. The card will probably be done away with over time but does not bother me - it's not a great deal of extra effort to pop it in the letter box post round.

Handicap secretaries up and down the country have been trekking into golf clubs for years, sorting out cards, checking for errors etc. Now with this app, we are very close to being able to fully go digital, if they would just add one more step. Before submittal, you take a photo of the signed card with your phone and then submit. Would be a game changer, you would have your proof, no need for the physical card. You could have live scoreboards etc. for competitions aswell.

It's funny though, how all those lads who can't or won't use smartphones, seem to have no problem booking the 7.30 line every saturday morning on their phones/computers, no reason they can't quickly make the move towards the app. I cant think of a single reason why we would ever say it's ok to physically have put a scorecard in a box in 2021.

Does anyone know if you can 'unfriend' a friend on Golf Ireland App? Accidentally hit Accept from someone who sent me a friend request, and I really don't want that person to have access to my scores.
On iPhone you just swipe left on their name and the option comes up. Not sure about android
edit: just go into their page and the option is at the top right
They can still see your scores friend or not as long as they know your name just so you know.
They may be able to see the course and date as a friend with the option turned on but I'm not 100% on that
I don't think they can see my scores without knowing my GUI number. Thought one needed this??? I'm not a member at their club.
Callaway92, Thank you!!
That worked!!
If they're from the same club they can find you by name
Yes, and my understanding if from a different club,they will need my GUI number.
Sorry, didn't read the last sentence of your post that said they're not a member
that is true
but how did they add you in the first place?
the could only have done that if they had your GUI number......
