The Score Centre course database contains important course information for all golf courses in the Score Centre database. It's important that the courses contained in your Course Details are imported from the Score Centre Course Database for the following reasons:
Required fore World Handicap System (WHS) Compliant
Required for hole-by-hole score posting
To allow scores to be used for Playing Condition Calculations (PCC)
To allow Adjusted Gross Scores to be calculated when posting back to GolfNet
In this article, we will discuss how to import courses from Score Centre, edit the courses, and understanding the WHS Compliance Warnings.
Importing Courses from Score Centre:
To import a course from Score Centre, follow these instructions:
Go to Customer Center > Customer Settings > Course Details > Import from Score Centre.
Search and select the course (as shown below).
Click "Next."
If the course being imported is not replacing an existing course in your Course Details, click "Import," and the course will be imported. If the course being imported is replacing an existing course, continue following the instructions below.
Select "Copy data from existing course" (as shown below), select the existing course in the dropdown, and click "Next."
Select the data you'd like to import from the existing course. By default, every data type will be selected (as shown below). You also have the option to archive the existing course. Archiving the existing course will ensure all future events and rounds use the correct course.
If Stroke Index, par, or yardage information is missing from the Score Centre database, you will be required to copy from an existing course to ensure the information is contained in TM.
Click "Next."
Match the tees from the Score Centre (on the left) with the tees from the existing course in TM (on the right) as shown below.
Click "Next."
If there are unmatched tees in the existing TM course, you can optionally select to copy and import those tees as well (as shown below).
Click "Import."
The course will then be imported and listed as WHS Compliant in the Course Details (as shown below).
Editing Courses Imported from Score Centre:
After importing a course from the Score Centre database, you can edit the course (if necessary) in the Course Details. You can edit all course information except Course Rating, Slope, and Gender (as shown below).
While you can edit the par and Stroke Index, this will generate a WHS Compliance Warning (discussed below), and the course or tee(s) can no longer be used to post hole-by-hole scores.
WHS Compliance:
Courses and tees must meet the standards set by the World Handicap System to be WHS Compliant. Courses and tees within your Course Details are checked daily to ensure they are compliant. They will be labeled appropriately in your Course Details (as shown below).
Tees can either be:
Fully WHS Compliant (labeled in green): All tee information (ignoring yardage) in TM matches the tee information in Score Centre. Hole-by-hole scores can be posted.
Partially WHS Compliant (labeled in orange): Stroke Index or pars in TM do not match the Stroke Index or pars in Score Centre. Hole-by-hole scores cannot be posted, but 9 or 18 hole totals can be posted. The scores will still contribute to the PCC computation.
Not Compliant (labeled in red): Either the Slope Rating/Course Ratings do not match, or the tee in TM no longer exists in Score Centre. Hole-by-hole scores cannot be posted, but 9 or 18 hole totals can be posted. The scores will still contribute to the PCC computation.
WHS Compliance with courses will also be labeled. Their compliance depends on the compliance of the tees within the course. Courses can be:
Fully WHS Compliant (labeled in green): All tees within the course are fully compliant.
Partially WHS Compliant (labeled in orange): At least one tee is only partially compliant.
Not Compliant (labeled in red): At least one tee is not compliant.
If a course or tee has a warning, hover over the "WHS Compliant" label (as shown below) to view the warning details and instructions for resolving the issue.
Below is the list of reasons for a warning:
Course Removed from Score Centre: The course has been removed from Score Centre and needs to be reimported (see import instructions above).
Tee in Score Centre has been updated: A tee within the course has been updated in Score Centre (by removing the outdated tee and creating a new updated one). To resolve, reimport the course (see import instructions above).
New Tee Added to Score Centre: A new tee has been added to the course in Score Centre. To resolve, reimport the course (see import instructions above).
Stroke Index, Par, or Yardage Changed in TM: The Stroke Index, par, and/or yardage has been edited in TM, making the course out of sync with the course in Score Centre. To resolve, edit the course information in TM to be consistent with the course information in Score Centre.
New Tee Added to TM that is not available in Score Centre: A new tee has been manually added to the course in TM and is not yet contained in Score Centre. To resolve, contact your golf association and request to have it added to Score Centre. Once added, reimport the course.
