MiSCORE APP UPDATE and GENERAL SCORING

 All players need to be aware that rather than submitting your own score via MiScore App or scorecard as we have been doing since COVID, the club now requires (since 7th July 2025) that players submit their partner’s scores via the App or card.


This is already generally the case at all of your home clubs.

If you and your partner are both on the MiScore App it will be straightforward. After comparing scores at the end of the round ensure each of you submits your partner’s score. 

If you are both using cards, exchange cards at the start of the round, mark your partner’s card with their and your scores. 

If you are on the MiScore App but your partner is not, your partner must mark and  sign your card. Your card must then be submitted. Only your partner’s score is submitted from your App. 

Using the MiScore App greatly speeds up processing our competitions results. 

You may already have free use of the Mi-Score App for your home club. But to use the App for BWDVGC games you must subscribe. 

The Mi-Score App costs about $20 a year for a subscription which allows you to use the App to score all our Vets competitions and comp and social games at more than 1,000 physical  golf courses throughout Australia and NZ. It provides satellite views of all those courses and individual holes, along with GPS distances from your position to the green, hazards, or target zones for landing your next shot.

All courses on the current Vets roster are MiScore venues.

UPDATE FOR EVERGLADES FEES

 All members are advised that the new fee for games at Everglades will be $30.00, commencing with our next competition there on 4th August. Thank you for your understanding. Everglades continues to be one of our members’ most favoured venues, which is testament to the high standard of maintenance and green-keeping at that course.
