Official PDGA iPhone App

Tap the blue arrow on the right side of a round on your list for that course and the Edit/Delete/Email options should be there.

[krupicka]

Thank you. I thought I was hitting the blue arrow, but probably just missed it with my fat fingers and kept going to the Score Summary.

Things would be much much better there)

The Goat Hill course is in the PDGA Course Directory, and has been since the baskets were installed back in February. http://www.pdga.com/course_directory...city-goat-hill

It's important to look for the correct name of the course: Center City Golf Course @ Goat Hill. But if you search for Oceanside, CA it comes up on the search. The strange thing is, when you search for Oceanside, the course in Oceanside is listed as being 32 miles away from Oceanside? Does the course directory have a faulty lat/lon location for zipcode 92049?

[cgkdisc]

If a course doesn't have a specific address, it defaults to the lat/lon at the center of the zip code. A warning that a course location is mid-zip will likely get added in the app so people don't go on wild goose chases to find a course as apparently some have. In the mean time, Cliff is working to get street addresses for the listings that default to zip code lat/lon. Players can help if they take a few minutes to check their nearby courses to make sure addresses are in there.

Hi,

just wondering how the course listings work. The course in Valbyparken, Denmark has for a long time been a 12 hole course. It has however just been updated to a 18 holes course and we have just updated the course in the Course Directory.

Are the course details stored in the app or does it take it directly from the web? Or put in another way, how long will it take before I can use the new 18 holes layout?

[cgkdisc]

The directory web copy being used for the app gets updated at least weekly. So you should see your 18-hole version available from the app link soon. The plan is to link the main PDGA Course Directory to the app so updates would be available almost daily. But that link won't be done until the current website update is completed.

Sending the scores as a CSV file is great and I have a small change request related to that feature. Could you please add the player's nickname in to the file?

Seriously, could you take this change to the wish list? I'm maintaining and developing a Disc Golf Scores website in Finland and this change would allow users to put their user ID as nickname and use that information to import scores to this web site which is open and free for all disc golfers.

In addition this web site has an open API for these kind of mobile applications to communicate with it. So, even better would be that PDGA App would include an option to directly send scores to www.DiscGolfScores.net using the API. For more information please contact me, since currently all available documentation is in Finnish.

Theo indicated V1.03 is now available for download from the app store. Main improvements are better handling of very long course names and more accurate ratings calculation for courses with other than 18 holes.

[BillyAce]

You guys should make a way to keel track of doubles.

[seewhere]

when is the next update going to be submitted? I have entered a new course into the course directory but it is still not showing up in the Iphone app as a course ?? thank you

[cgkdisc]

I think Theo said he was planning to update weekly until the live link can be completed.

[seewhere]

also need a way to be able upload your round results to FB like the othre apps? like easy scorecard pro?

[cgkdisc]

You can take screen snapshots of the PDGA app scorecard to post on FB. However, it only shows 8 instead of 9 or 18 holes of the scorecard on the screen at a time.

[Lamar Futch]

Played in a tournament this past weekend. The course had 24 holes but we only played the main 18. The app needs to allow for this. I could not enter 0 for a hole or bypass the holes not played.

[cgkdisc]

...

[cgkdisc]

At the moment you can create a custom course when you start a round that only has 18 holes and name it something similar to the 24 hole course but it won't calculate ratings.

[Hyzer Soze 47952]

Is there a way to edit or delete someone? I played with a few people this weekend that I'll NEVER see again and would like to delete them but can't. There should be a way to edit someone info. i.e. add a last name or pdga number.

Scoring during the round is good but everything else is very, meh, in my opinion. DG Caddy gives me stats per course (best, worst and median). I really hope an update addresses some of these as the current app only gets 2 out of 5 from me BUT it has the potential to be 5 out of 5.

Thanks for the help!

[cgkdisc]

Just Start a Round, add any course and when you see the list of players, just press on the blue arrow on the right side of each player you want to Delete. The menu will pop up to Delete or Edit that person.

[Hyzer Soze 47952]

Thanks cgk! Odd that you have to start a round, but whatever works. That alone added a star. 3/5... working towards the perfect app!

If I had to pick 1 thing to add to the app it would be group rounds. Keep up the good work.

What do you mean by "group rounds"?

Sorry, I meant doubles rounds, where you could pick both peeps from your list of players.

On another note though... the greatest potential this app has from the others would be the ability to update course info via GPS/App. Most of the courses in my area don't have good information... I know, I can update them thorough the website, but I would be a lot more likely to update them if I could do it live from the course with my iPhone. You could calculate distance by marking tee boxes and baskets as well as layout the course for those who have never played it. Many courses in Montana need a guide as they are object courses in the middle of the woods!

Anyhow, keep up the good work.

[cgkdisc]

Not to sidetrack the thread but I just knew there had to be a store called "Hand Basket" in your town... and there is.

Yup...When I worked for the local baseball team I tried to get them to change the team name to the Helena Hand Baskets. Ownership was not amused. We also have shirts that say "Have a Helena Day".

Dealing with doubles and other formats and games (e.g., skins), is on the list (or should be, if I haven't added it a while ago!).

The ability to capture GPS coordinates is high on the list of priorities. The scenario you laid out is close to my dream. I want to be able to play a round, where I capture my location at every tee, in-between shot, and basket, and then use it to both update my round data and stats, and upload the tee and pin positions to the PDGA course directory.

We'll get there!

Uploading scores to Facebook is near the top of our list of upcoming features!

-Theo

[jimimc]

Is there any way to change the rating of a course? We're playing Iron Hill and it comes up will a 64 or something as 1000 rated for the 10,000' layout. It should be 71 or 72 based on the PDGA events.

[seewhere]

ah ok theo thanks.. if you need more beta tester holler

Twitter should be on that list as well as Facebook is soooooo 2010. Gplus maybe?

Ok first off I love the app. I'm only here to report a bug. I entered different hole lengths for Dexter Disc Golf Course as I played the mixed pin settings. Then went to calculate the ratings and the course lengths screen popped up with the choice of the length closest to what we played. The main button length was fine but the button below with the local or alt length was garbled. It looks like two buttons superimposed over each other. I'm guessing it was suppose to be three buttons, main, alt (or whatever name it was suppose to display), and the local distance I just entered. I'm using an Iphone4 with the latest update of the app.1.0.3. Once again, I love the App. and look forward to the upgrades and improvements.
