Q: We are running a Four-Ball stableford, and there seems to be some discrepancies between the players' scores in Golf Genius and the posted results on England Golf. Why is this happening?
A: When posting Four-Ball scores to England Golf, Golf Genius sends England Golf the four-ball scores, rather than individual gross scores for each player. That’s why you aren’t seeing individual entries for players, WHS receives the Four-Ball scores as a team unit.
When Four-Ball posting is enabled correctly, the system works as follows:
Both partners are tied together for posting. If one is deselected, the other is too.
WHS then applies its own calculation rules for individual handicapping impact.
Occasionally, you may see messages like “Not enough scores” if WHS determines a player didn’t have the required number of valid scores contributing to the team scores.
For your event, the scores are being sent in line with England Golf’s WHS guidelines. England Golf completes the calculation of how each player’s record is updated from these Four-Ball scores. You can find their official explanation and infographic on England Golf WHS Resources (as shown below).
