Competition Entry App

There has been a new feature issued on “HowDidIDo” which allows you to sign-in to our competitions and enter your score – this will avoid having to use the touchscreen, could be generally very useful and falls in line with the World Handicapping System plans.

You do need to be signed up on “HowDidIDo”.

Download the App to your phone.

Register, Name, Club etc

On the Mobile App —

  • Prior to starting the competition
    • Select the icon on the top right (3 horizontal bars)
    • Select “Today’s Golf”
    • Select “Sign In”
    • Select the “Test – Mobile App” competition
  • At the end of your Round – (it is not capable yet of allowing you to enter your score after every hole)
    • Select the icon on the top right (3 horizontal bars)
    • Select “Today’s Golf”
    • Select “Score Entry”
    • Then enter your scores – it is quite intuitive
  • Initially, this will only work for singles competitions, but it will be rolled out for use in fourballs and team events in time.
  • When using the App, you MUST sign into the competition prior to playing and you Must also return your score as soon as you have completed your round.

 

Please also download our Club V1 app if you have not already done so, using this App you can now top up your accounts online. Lots of other useful information available on the App like account balances, competition scores etc.

Potential Constitutional Difficulties during the Covid 19 Pandemic

As you will be well aware the current Covid-19 Pandemic has created extraordinary challenges for health, family, work, recreation and all aspects of normal living. These unprecedented challenges have affected every aspect of peoples lives and although we are beginning to see some easing of restrictions the future continues to remain uncertain in terms of a full return to normality. With this in mind and in anticipation of the normal Constitutional requirements for Annual General Meetings, Election of Officers etc. the Committee of Management is mindful of how current circumstances could impact the Clubs ability to function properly and in line with the Club Constitution.

 

Questions that arise for immediate consideration include the following:-

 

  • The ability to hold an AGM/SGM with current social distancing restrictions in place
  • The ability to conduct business, including amending the Club Constitution, to deal with issues that arise as a result of occurrences such as Covid -19

 

In that regard it is been agreed by the Committee of Management that a Special General Meeting would be required to deal with such emerging issues and in that event, I will keep you promptly informed of developments as they arise.

Yours faithfully

Terry O’Neill

Honorary Secretary
