User Experience

Starting a Round

1. Open the app and tap the Scorecard & GPS from the Home Screen, Footer Menu or Side Menu
   
1. 
   
2. If the scorecard is being accessed by the customer for the first time, and they are NOT logged in, they will see a screen like the below:
   
1. 
   
1. They must enter a name (becomes Nickname) and gender (for par and handicapping purposes), and can optionally enter their handicap (for leaderboards and net scoring games) 
   
1. Note: There is no calculation for course handicap; the customer will need to calculate that based on their handicap index, the course they are playing and their tee box selection
2. At this time the customer has the option to Log In, if they already have an account or Create Account to be able to 'save' this round in their round history
3. After entering the necessary information, users will see a vertical version of the scorecard.
   
1. 
   

1. If your facility has multiple courses/rotations, users will first need to select which course they are playing before seeing the scorecard.
   

The Scorecard

A) New Round

1. This starts the scorecard over and (if necessary) allows users to either start a new round or select a new course.
   

B) Add More Players

1. Playing partners can be added to a scorecard. Clicking the + will bring up the below screen:
   
1. 
   

C) Scoring Game

1. Tapping on this box allows users to select from a number of scoring styles:
   
1. 
   
2. Stroke
   
1. The most basic game in golf. Each shot taken by a player is counted as one stroke. At the end of the round, the player with the fewest strokes wins.
   
3. Stableford
   
1. Players receive points on each hole. This game rewards you for playing well, without punishing you when you have a bad hole. The golfer who earns the most points wins. Points are awarded as follows:
   
1. 0 points for anything worse than bogey
   
2. 1 point for bogey
   
3. 2points for par
   
4. 3 points for birdie
   
5. 4 points for eagle
   
6. 5 points for double eagle
   
4. Par
   
1. On each hole, +1, 0, or -1 points are awarded to players based on how they did relative to par on that hole. The player with the highest score wins. Points are awarded as follows:
   
1. +1 for birdie or better
   
2. 0 for par
   
3. -1 for bogey or worse
   
5. Skins
   
1. This game is based on winning holes. The player who has the lowest score on a hole wins a skin for that hole. The golfer with the most skins at the end of the round wins.
   
2. If a hole is tied by two or more players, no skin is awarded and the skin is carried over to the next hole. The next player to win a hole wins not only the skin for that hole, but also skins for holes that carried over.
   
6. Skins w/o Carry
   
1. The same rules as Skins above, with the exceptions that skins do not carry over for tied holes.
   
7. Best Ball
   
1. Each player on the team plays his or her own golf ball throughout the round. The low score on each hole (or "best ball") of the group serves as the team score.
   
2. For example, on the first hole, Philip Rivers gets a 5, Ladainian Tomlinson gets a 4, Lorenzo Neal gets a 6, and Nick Hardwick gets a 6. On this hole, the "best ball" would be Tomlinson's score of 4.
   
3. Best Ball is generally played as stroke play with the total score added up at the end of the round.
   
8. Gross vs. Net
   
1. All of the above games can be played as either "Gross" or "Net". When Net scoring is used, the number of strokes on a hole is adjusted according to a player's handicap. When Gross scoring is used, handicaps are not factored into scoring.
   

D) Leaderboard

G) Hole Number

1. Tapping this will bring the user into the interactive GPS page of your scorecard (see next section) on that specific Hole. 
   

Interactive GPS Page

A) Yardages

1. The top yardage represents the user's distance to the back of the green.
   
2. The middle yardage represents the user's distance to the middle of the green.
   
3. The bottom yardage represents the user's distance to the front of the green.
   

B) Shot Distance

1. Tapping this pin at the location a user hit from (before they walk to their ball) will give them the yardage the ball traveled once they get there.
   

C) Hole Information

D) GPS Toggle

1. Tapping this icon will toggle location services on and off for the user's device.

E) Record Strokes

1. Tapping this will bring up a box to enter everyone's scores
   
2. When a scorecard is created, the creator is automatically added as the first golfer or the primary golfer. By default the par will display for them while their playing partners will display a no score until it is added using the plus or minus sign
