The MiScore App

Green Acres is now giving Members the option to use their mobile phones for competition scoring via the use of the MiScore app during competition play. 

We make this app available initially during the COVID-19 crisis to mitigate contact between players, touchscreen PCs, and the handling and exchange of scorecards.  Physical scorecards will still be available at the Golf Centre for those who still wish to use them, and the use of the app is only optional.  A review of the app’s ongoing use at Green Acres will be made in September based on Member utilisation, functionality and its necessity.

The app has some excellent features, like links to the current Local Rules, the Rules of Golf, live leaderboards for competitions and your handicap history via GolfLink access. There is also an inbuilt GPS which gives users the distance from their location and the centre of the green.

This scoring app has recently been approved by the R&A and Golf Australia as a method of scoring.

In competition play, it is important to understand that the app is designed to score another player’s scorecard, not your own. In social play, you can score your own however.
