This feature is only available with the following products:
If your golf cart fleet utilizes Visage GPS units, you can take advantage of our Visage GPS integration. This integration has the following functionality:
GPS units can act as digital cart signs
Players can enter their hole-by-hole scores into the units
Players can view the live leaderboard from the units
To set up this integration, contact our support team.
When setting up and managing an event or league, you will use the same process as you would without the integration. However, some additional steps or functions are required for this feature (outlined in this article below).
Note: Some golf facilities will have newer Android device units on the golf carts, while others will have legacy Windows devices. The legacy Windows units have some limitations in leaderboard display (as you'll see below).
Making Cart Assignments:
Players need to be assigned to specific golf carts in the fleet. After pairings are created, go to Rounds > Cart Assignments (as shown below).
Follow these instructions to make cart assignments:
Click "Connected" to display only the currently available carts.
Select the riders on the cart.
Select the cart on the right.
Click "Assign."
Repeat the steps above for the remaining assignments.
VERY IMPORTANT: Click "Save" on the bottom right to save all assignments.
If the event has multiple rounds and the cart assignments are exactly the same, you can copy cart assignments from a previous round (option on the bottom left when assigning carts). For instance, maybe you are playing a 36 hole best ball tournament in one day. The teams are probably using the same carts for both rounds. So you can easily copy over the assignments from round to round.
You can also manage cart assignments with our iPad App. When logged into the app as a manager, you can walk along the fleet of carts with the iPad, making assignments.
Enable Mobile Score Entry (Android Units Only):
When using the Visage GPS units for score entry, you will need to enable mobile scoring entry for the round:
Enable Mobile Score Entry: This option is found under the Rounds Menu. Players will not be able to enter scores on the GPS Unit until this feature is enabled. If you have multiple tournaments set up in the round, you will be asked what tournament to use to stroke the score entry page (as shown below).
Note: It is crucial to disable mobile score entry as scorecards are turned in and finalize the round once all scores are in. For more details, Click Here.
Selecting the Tournament to be Displayed (Legacy Windows Units Only):
Having multiple tournaments set up in Golf Genius is OK. However, only one tournament can be displayed on the legacy Windows units. To select that tournament, go to Rounds > Tournaments (as shown below).
There is a golf car logo next to the scramble tournament in the screenshot above. The leaderboard for that tournament will be displayed on the Visage units.To unselect or select another tournament to be displayed, edit the tournament and select the Advanced Options for Display (as shown below).
You will also need to define which tournament should be used to show Handicap Strokes (dots) on the carts scorecard if playing a net tournament. To do this, go to Round > Enable Mobile Score Entry. Click on the "Enable Mobile Score Entry" text and then select the tournament to be displayed and click "Save" (as shown below). No need to enable the mobile score entry option unless you allow players to also enter scores on the mobile app.
Note: The leaderboard on the legacy Windows units can only display non-flighted single round Stroke Play or Stableford tournaments. Match Play, skins, and other tournaments cannot be displayed on the older units. On the other hand, the Android units can display any tournament format because the Golf Genius app will be displayed on the Android device.
Entering Scores:
The round status must be set to "In Progress" to enter scores on the Visage GPS units. This option is found under the Rounds Menu (as shown below). When the round is "In Progress," the leaderboard will go live and update automatically as scores are entered.
If the players and the leaderboard are not displaying on the units, Click Here to troubleshoot.
Managing Scores:
To edit or enter scores currently cart controlled, click on the pairing group and attempt to enter/change a score. You will have the option to "Edit Scores" (as shown below) where you can make the necessary edits without unassigning a car from the player/group.
Note: You can also select the option to unassign the cart. However, you will not be able to reassign the cart until it is in the staging area.
Player Experience:
Once the GPS units are active and the round is "In Progress," the players can enter scores and view the leaderboard on the units.
