GHIN customers can automatically post scores to GHIN to ensure all scores are posted on the same date of play regardless of the status of the round. This allows clubs that often forget to post scores to have competition scores posted automatically on their behalf.

Set Account Time Zone:
When using automatic score posting, scores are posted before midnight based on the customer's default time zone for the event/league. To set the default time zone follow these direction:
Navigate to the general settings:
Default Settings (Note: All new events/leagues created will use this time zone): From the customer center, go to Customer Setting > Default Settings > General Settings > Time Zone.
Existing Event/League: Navigate to Event/League > Event/League Profile > General Settings > Time Zone (as shown below).
Select the appropriate time zone.
Click "Save" to apply the settings.
Enabling Automatic Score Posting:

Event/League Settings: Within an event/league, go to Event/League > Event/League Profile > Handicap Settings > Score Posting.
Set the dropdown to "Post Scores to GHIN" if not already set.
Check the box to "Automatically post scores to GHIN."
Select the score type (as shown below):
Home: Everyone on the event roster is on the selected course clubs handicap roster.

Competition: The scores being posted are part of an organized competitive event, typically organized by a committee, and are used to differentiate between regular rounds and more significant competitions.
Click "Save" to apply the settings.
Score Posting Results:
You can find score posting results from the Player Roster Logs by going to Round > Round Player Roster > Player Roster Log. There will be one of two messages:
Scores were successfully automatically posted to WHS: Scores were posted successfully. After the scores are successfully posted, the customer can see the full report on Rounds > See Posting Results. The report includes both successful and failed player score post.
Automatically posting scores to WHS failed: Scores were not posted successfully.
