Big improvements to D cup this year! This website and the accompanying iPhone app can be used to easily enter your D cup scores. Your first step is to contact Ginny Dykes to get your first time password.

Getting started

• After you have paid Ginny your $45 entry fee, give her your email address and your name exactly as it appears in GHIN
• Ginny will give you the first time password
• Play golf!
• Log into either this web application or the iPhone app (search in App Store for Dcup) with the email address you gave Ginny
• After your first login, you will be prompted to change your password.
• If you forget your password, call Lisa or Ginny and we can reset it back to the first time password
• Choose 'Enter Round'
• Enter the date, tees and side you played, and the score or X for each hole and submit it
• That's it! You will still need to enter your score into GHIN

Dcup Rules

• Both front and back holes are in play. You can play any tees you want: you don’t have to stick with one for the season. Just be sure to select which tees you played in the app

  A 9 hole round is the minimum but if you play 18, that will be recorded as two 9s

• In this web application or the iPhone app you will enter the date, tees and side you played, and the score or X (if you did not finish the hole) for each hole
• An X will be treated as 3^* over net par. Net par varies by player index, hole and tee
• For each week starting with Sunday, the players best^* net score is calculated
• A player must submit scores for a minimum of 10^* weeks before qualifying
• There are 3 divisions based on the players index at the start of the season
• The winners of each division are the players with the lowest total of the lowest 10 net weekly best rounds

^* The number over net par, the minimum number of weeks, and the number of rounds that will be counted per week can be changed

About

Dcup is a friendly season long golf competition invented at Sand Point Country club. The goal is get a lot of golfers out regularly during the summer with a format that is casual and fun. The tallying of the results got cumbersome as more players started playing. It was originally done in spreadsheets and a player could only play from the tees they choose at the beginning of the season and only on the front side since it was too much trouble to look up their handicap for all the different tees/sides. Also, handicaps weren't updated very often. This app records the rounds, calculates the net score using a weekly index for the player, and rolls up the season long results. GHIN has apis (ways for applications to talk to each other programmatically) and I've begged but they won't give me access. You need to have an application that supports 1000s of users before they will. So to get indices, I have to manually go in every week and copy the contents of the 'Golfer Lookup' page and input it into this app. It takes less than 30 seconds.

Lisa Roney was a software engineer for 30 years and wrote this web application and iphone app for fun but also to eliminate the spreadsheets and hand tallying of scores that made it very complicated. Not to mention how hard it was to decipher the golf cards! Now that this project is done she needs more! So if you have a need for custom software please contact Lisa.
