NEW ON LINE BOOKING SYSTEM FOR COMPETITIONS -- COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP (OPEN DAY) AVAILABLE FOR ENTRY

As from now on the County are changing the way we enter the Competitions On Line Booking (the form on the RLCGA website) to the program that they use for running the competitions,membership etc etc.

In previous years as an AWAY player HowDidIDo could not be used for on line booking but this has now been resolved and the Committee would like to move forward with this initiative since it will make booking and draw / starting times much easier and your webmaster Carol can stop having to set up the Entry Forms etc !!

The software we use is ClubV1 which uses HowDidIDo as the site where we upload our results — From there your score goes to the CDH database and finally back to your club which either uses the same software as the County or uses a different software.

Many of you may already be registered with the old Howdidido Website area so you will only need to log into the new site. Those who have not done this before will need to register with their email address and a password.
In fact if you are also a member of another Club that uses this software e.g. Haggs Castle and Troon Ladies you will see their competition on line bookings as well (if they do this)

The members of Clubs that use a different software i.e. Cathcart Castle, Ranfurly Castle, Whitecraigs and Williamwood have already been notified of their procedure - and their Home Club will not appear 

You will find the link to the new HowdidIDo  website by clicking on their icon on the LHS of this Website or by Clicking on this link  —— http://www.howdidido.com

The County Championship Qualifier (Open Day at Pollok) is now on (under Bookings) as is the Foursomes which is not open for bookings at the moment.
We are looking forward to a good turn out -- Remember our 2009 Centenary Shotgun was held there.

Also note if your handicap looks wrong on Howdidido it is because the handicap there is only as good as the last time you played in a County Medal but we are able to update your handicap from the CDH where your true Home handicap is stored or when we enter you score it can be changed at that time. 

The old HowDidIDo site was great for results and stats but over 50% of visits were from mobile devices like iPhones and tablets so they needed to redesign the site from the ground up to accommodate those users.
You therefore can go to the Apple Store for the HowDidIDo App 
or the equivalent on the Android Google play store and download the App onto your phone or tablet.

Alternatively by Clicking on the Photo on the website you will get there.

Results Secretary Sandra Littlejohn and Carol Fell are both available to help with this transition.

If you are unable to get booked into the County Championship email either of us and we will enter your booking from the software and it synchronises with the online booking - You will receive a confirmation email to say you have been entered  

We will also try to resolve any problems. --- Plus to help us solve any problems please fill in the following form
