Device Setup & Course Etiquette

Using a mobile on the course can sometimes be distracting to you and others, therefore practice course etiquette.

Installing and using the app for the first time

• Download and install the app before you get to the club (Important: make sure you know your app store or play store password as you will need it to download the app).
• Once the app is downloaded, start a dummy practice round or play a practice round to get familiar with the app before using it on a competition
• Adjust the time out settings to ensure you are not consuming too much of your mobile's battery
• You can lessen the use of your battery by following these simple steps:
  • Closing down background apps
  • Switch to low battery mode
  • Turn on Do Not Disturb
  • Go to Miscore settings and adjust screen saver

Course Etiquette

• Put your mobile in an easily accessible place on your buggy, bag or cart.  Note: Most pro shops now sell phone cradles specific for all types of golf buggies
• Only use the device to score and view pin locations. Here are some tips to avoid distractions:
  • Turn on silent mode
  • Turn on Do Not Disturb
  • Turn off notifications for emails
  • Switch on car driving mode to automatically divert calls
• Use the app for the distance to pin instead of other devices
• Check that your club is updating the pin locations when pins are moved
• Update the scores at the end of each hole so the live scoring leader boards are constantly updated
