SteddyGolf Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Ladies and gentlemen I’ve been toying with the idea of developing a virtual golf league. This league would be made up of real golfers playing golf on real golf courses. A live leaderboard would be maintained and updated real time as individual golfers submitted their score cards. The end goal would be to bring together golfers from around the globe to compete virtually against one another over a designated season. I have been making notes, brainstorming and researching how best to bring this idea to reality. I’m not going to include specifics at this time nor am I looking for input/recommendations today (I will in the future). I’m just trying to do a little discovery learning to determine if there is enough interest out there to continue to push forward with the idea. As a disclaimer I will at least say this.......if the league is established the scores submitted will be done so based on the honor system. I am not going to expend a lot of energy on checking the integrity of each individual participant. I provide this disclaimer because I know some folks are not interested in any level of competition where there are very few control measures to guard against the submission of suspect scores. I respect those feelings but will most likely not recruit the FBI or CIA to provide oversight. Is this league something you would be interested in joining?

SteddyGolf Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 I'd certainly be interested. Curious to hear your thoughts on how to arrange everything. I do know there are a few apps out there for this, but I've never used them.I’ve used a couple apps for different golf groups but those apps only captured scores from the same course played at the same time just in different groups. Blue Rounds Golf was the last one I used which is a tournament app. I’m not sure if there is an app that will adjust for slope and rating plus net score from different courses. I’m not an spreadsheet expert but I’m pretty sure I could build something that could automatically do all of the above as I entered the data. Thinking out loud here but maybe a requirement would be a digital picture of your signed card co signed by a witness. That card could then be entered manually into the spreadsheet with a copy of the card attached. I’m definitely not a tech savvy dude but I know a few folks who are very good at this type thing.

Wedgie Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 This could be fun. I’m mobile so can’t send a link but check this out.ORGANIZE GOLF LEAGUES AND TOURS USING THEGRINTPosted on January 8, 2013 by TheGrinterUsing TheGrint Tours section you can organize small virtual competitions as well as large group leagues. In this post we will explain how to do so. Is very simple.What is a Tour?Every Tour is composed of events and players. Just like the PGA tour. So you need to create/schedule the events and add the players that will play in each of those events. The Tour will rank each of the player according to their performance and show it on the main Leaderboard.So let’s say that you have a golf league of 30 golfers that play once a month for one year. Then that Tour will have 12 events, and the organizer will have to add those 12 events with dates to that Tour.The one difference we have is that we also created this feature for regular folks like you and I who have a group of golf buddies, that don’t necessarily live on the same city or play together. That’s why our events have “deadline dates” and not “dates”. That means that in order to compete in an event, the player have the opportunity to post a score within a period of time. After that deadline date, the system will not allow the player to upload the score to that event. Is up to the organizer to decide the rules.Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy Wedgie Driver - XXIO X Driver 9.5 - Launcher Turbo 2 hybrid - F9 One Length 3-L - ER 1.2 Top Flite Gamer Play Right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteddyGolf Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 I had a family emergency that pulled me away from this idea for a minute. Update #1. The Grint is a free app that will allow different golfers to play at different courses and have their scores compete against one another. The golfers would not have to play on the same day or time. There would be a suspense date to complete each month’s round. If a golfer did not play in April they simply would not get any points for that month’s play. The season would run concurrent to the PGA tour with the virtual championship being played in Sept. Golfers would receive a point value for each tournament. The golfer with the most points at the end of the season is the champion. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Miura MB 502 Irons ping G400 Driver Cobra F7 3 wood Mizuno putter Mizuno Wedges.

The golfer with the most points at the end of the season is the champion. This seems like a logical place to start, I see a couple of things to work through. I'm guessing the competition would be some kind of net score, perhaps lowest differential, so it takes into account handicap and golf course information. Many of us will play multiple rounds in a given time period, will you be looking at the one best, or the first, or something else? I know the Grint calculates handicaps for players, but many of us keep our handicaps someplace else, such as through our home club. Is there a way to enter our USGA Handicap into Grint, without entering all the scores we shoot, keeping a parallel handicap? I think you have a great idea, and I'll be interested to see how you develop the details. Good luck, and thanks for your efforts.
