PSI TOUCH SCREEN NOW AVAILABLE IN GOLF RECEPTION

In response to many members requests, a dedicated Player Sore Input (PSI) terminal has been installed.  It is located by the stairs in Golf Reception.

It is simple to use, it retains robust Wi-Fi reception, and it will resolve problems some members experience when trying to input scores using mobile phones.

WHAT IS PSI?

The latest PSI design makes it simpler for players to:

• Book into upcoming club trophy competitions.
• Register for Medals, Stablefords and General Play Rounds.
• Enter scores on completion of a round.

These screens are shown in bright orange and are easy to follow.

BOOKING INTO TROPHY COMPETITIONS OR REGISTERING FOR MEDALS, STABLEFORDS AND GENERAL PLAY ROUNDS

 The PSI screen rotates many different images.  When you see the hole and flag image, touch the screen and it will display a keyboard.  Type in your surname and click on it when it appears.  You will then be shown a screen which has two options: Bookings (for upcoming trophy competitions, if any) and Register (for Medals, Stablefords and General Play Rounds).

If you choose Bookings, it will ask you to select which of the competitions you wish to enter.  Once you’ve made your choice it will show you the tee times available and the appropriate entry fee, usually £4.  Make your choice and then click to confirm.

If you choose Register, it will show you if any Medal or Stableford competition has been scheduled for that day and, always, an option to play a General Play Round.  Make your choice.  There is an entry fee for Medals and Stablefords (£2.50) plus an optional two’s competition (50p).  You must opt in for the two’s competition.  Choose, confirm and exit the screen.

ENTERING SCORES AND RESULTS
If you are entering a score for a Medal, Stableford or General Play Round Members type in your surname when the keyboard screen is displayed.  You will then be asked:

• Which player’s card did you mark? Enter their name and press Next.
• Which player marked your card? Enter their name and press Next.

The player who marked your card will be asked the same questions.  The idea behind this is to ensure that all scores have been verified by another player. 

You can then enter your scores.  PSI splits an 18-hole round/competition into separate nine-hole score-entry screens: the front and back nine. This allows for larger buttons and an easier-to-read scorecard.  A quick tip is to enter your scores in groups of three, ie holes 1-3, 4-6, etc.  The software prompts players to accept or reject the score after each nine to prevent errors being discovered later in the process. If you’ve made a mistake, press ‘reject’ and you’ll have another attempt to get it right.

The returned scores and published results appear on HowDidiDo as soon as a competition is closed giving the player unrivalled statistics on their own game.
