Just to let all members know that you can now download the new Golf Ireland App from Apple App Store (iOS) or from Google Play store(Android) and select the version with the Golf Ireland logo. This App allows players to play 9-hole and 18-hole General Play rounds that are recorded for Handicap purposes.

Assuming you are registered with Golf Ireland you use the same golf number and password to activate your account in the App. Then when you are at the golf course you can press Enter Score and this allows you to create a digital scorecard and to pre-register for the round. You will also select a marker, who must also be registered, to verify your score at the end. To enter your own score click on the scorecard you have just created. You should also keep the score of your marker so that you can verify his/her score. When you are finished you check your scores and digitally sign your card. After confirming your score your marker will get a message to verify it. The scores will later be verified by the club and after that it will appear on your Handicap list.

This must all be done at the golf club. There are 4 short videos on golfireland.ie/news to explain the App in a bit more detail.

Enjoy your return to golf.
