FAQ +- What happens if the golfer marks an incorrect score on the scorecard? If a golfer makes a mistake marking a score, they simply cross out the incorrect score and place another mark on the correct score (it’s that simple!). +- Is the scorecard difficult to read and mark scores on? The best analogy to use when describing what GolfAutoScore™ scorecards are like is a “national lotto” card. Far from being complicated to use it is in fact very straightforward, because the golfer is simply crossing out their correct hole score rather than actually writing it it (for “traditionalists” there is still space provided on the scorecard for the written entry of scores). +- How long does it take to process the scorecards of a field of for example 120 players? In our experience processing 120 scorecards would take just 15 minutes (allowing time to correct any poorly “marked” cards). Following this the results would be available “immediately”. +- Do I still need a handicap software package? Yes, GolfAutoScore™ is not a handicapping package it is intended to run alongside (or integrate with certain) handicap packages. +- Can I integrate GolfAutoScore™ with my handicap software package?
