When posting scores to GHIN, there may be cases where one or more scores fail to post. When posting (Rounds > Post Scores to GHIN), a failed post will be indicated with a red "GHIN" logo on the right of the player's name (as shown below).
Hover over the "GHIN" logo to view the reason for the failure. You can also go to Rounds > Post Scores to GHIN > Print Report to download a report listing the details of all of the posts (successful and unsuccessful).
Troubleshooting Failed Posts:
GHIN refused the ID/Last Name combination: The last name in the event/league roster does not match the last name of the player with that GHIN ID. Two possible reasons are:
Last name is misspelled: Go to Golfers > Event/League Roster. Click on the player and re-enter the last name to match the last name in the GHIN database. Save the changes and repost the score. If the last name is incorrect in the GHIN database, contact your local golf association.
Incorrect GHIN ID is entered: Golfers > Event/League Roster. Click on the player and re-enter the correct GHIN ID.
Tee Missing 9 Hole Slope/Rating: When attempting to post a 9 hole scores, but the tee is missing the 9 Hole Slope and Rating you will get this error. To update the tee and allow the scores to be posted, you will need to update the tee details in the course details. For information on updated course details, Click Here.
Not enough scores: A minimum of 10 scores must be entered in order to post an 18-hole score. A minimum of 9 scores must be posted for a 9-hole score. If the minimum is not met, scores will not be posted.
To resolve the issue, go to Rounds > Enter Scores and enter a sufficient number of scores. For instance if playing a best ball of four tournament, there may be some holes where scores were not entered for a player because their ball was not counted. Those scores may need to be entered to meet the minimum.Net: Read Timeout: This error indicates that there is an issue with the GHIN server. You can wait until GHIN resolves the issue or you can contact your local golf association.
Partially Compliant or Manually Created Courses: Posting hole-by-hole scores is not available for partially compliant or manually created courses. For partially compliant courses or manually created courses, we will post scores as 9-hole or 18-hole totals. Therefore, scores will not be posted to GHIN for incomplete rounds on partially compliant or manually created courses. To post scores, enter a score for each hole from the score entry page.
