Self-Score Submission with the MiScore
This new self-score submission functionality has the full support of Golf Australia during the COVID-19 period. “This functionality complies with all requirements of the Rules of Handicapping and the Rules of Golf as outlined by the R&A and Golf Australia for the COVID-19 period. In addition, Golf Australia strongly supports the increased use of technology in the formal scoring process. We believe this is a significant advancement for the game of golf.” – Golf Australia
New self-score submission process
- This will be operational at Keperra for single events from Monday July 13th.
- Players can score and submit their own score once approved by their playing partner, verbally or by signature.
- The MiScore app user will submit their own score; NOT their marker’s score as currently occurs.
- Swapping cards or submitting your marker’s score by card or MiScore is no longer required.
- Players will continue to keep score of their playing partner (marker), as they already do, in order to confirm/check their playing partner’s score.
Golf Australia – Covid-19 Local Rules to Remain
Under the Industry COVID Safe Plan for Outdoor Team Sports, clubs & facilities need to be aware that flagsticks, rakes, NTP markers and scorecards, fall into the definition of shared equipment. Shared equipment needs to be sanitised effectively after each use.
As a result, Golf Australia recommends that golf clubs & facilities continue to apply the local rules within the Play Management guidelines that avoid the need to handle shared equipment.
In stage 3 clubs & facilities may;
- play in groups of four
- hold shotgun & multi-tee starts
- have two people per cart
Clubs & facilities must ensure that;
- if available, bookings should be made online, via phone or via text message. There should be no ‘roll-up play’.
- scorecards, if in use, should be distributed and collected using PPE
- motorised carts, rental clubs, push buggy and sand bucket handles are sanitised before and after every use.
