**********

9/06/2020

Over the coming days we will migrate to a New Handicapping software application. This will allow us to comply with the launch of The WHS in November.

Please install the Clubv1 members Hub on your Smartphone / Device a.s.a.p

Below is information from our software provider Clubsystems..

There is no charge whatsoever to use the ClubV1 Members app. When upgrading to ClubV1, HowDidiDo is very much still relevant. Scores and results will still be published through HDiD as well as closed and open competitions. members will be able to download both the club ClubV1 members app and the HDiD app however, please note that both of these apps serve a different purpose. 

Members will be able to check their results and handicaps in the HowDidiDo App. Members will be able to book their tee times through the ClubV1 member's app if the club opts to use booking provided by Club Systems. Members can download these apps free of charge from the respective app stores on their mobile device. There will inevitably be some teething problems we thank you for patience in this regard.
