UDisc Questions

Do you see any more info if you create a scorecard and add that username to it?

I just looked at that and no. You can look up a player if you know their user name or their PDGA#, but I could not see any profile information. The user name doesn't tell you PDGA #.

Still won't give direct contact info, but once you have a name and state, you could probably track them down through social media.
 
I'll be running a skins tournament in the near future - players will not keep score, they just need to keep track of how many holes each player in the group won.
I was wondering if anyone has used UDisc to keep track of skins and if so how did they do it?
UDisc does not have a skins feature that I know of.
I know it's pretty easy to keep track with pencil and paper, but I thought I'd ask.

Thanks guys, I'll try one of those. The User has access to a course on a military installation, I was hoping to contact them to wrangle an invite, and bag a new course. :D

Guess this is another one that goes in the column: DGCR is better than UDisc!! :clap:

Fudge it with a custom score card maybe?

Win the hole you get a 1? Everyone else cards a zero?

That's kind of what I was thinking. I just checked and UDisc doesn't allow you to enter a 0 for a score, but you can leave the score blank (it shows up as a dash).

As a retired military person, it will be near impossible for you to get that invite. The person will need to know you as they will have to sponsor you and you will have to be with them the entire time; you will also have to submit information about yourself in advance and pass a background check.

Depends on the installation.

In the 90's I was in the USAR and I took my buddy on an air base to play ball golf. Showed ID and no big deal.

My most recent trip to Japan I was working on airbase. It was a lot more restrictive than the 90s, but I don't think they did background checks. Not 100% certain because we are a subcontractor and I know we had to have some form provided by the prime contractor. Did have to get an unescorted pass so I could enter.

You were working on the base at Japan....different thing. Bases have become a lot more locked down. My daughter's husband is Army....every one they had visit (except my wife and I) had to submit their info well in advance of their trip. But the big hurdle is that the military person has to vouch for the person they are bringing in and unless they know the person well enough it isn't going to happen.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.
I've been on the FB page with the military guys that throw in Hawaii, they are always offering to meet anyone off the base, that "needs a ride on". So hopefully, its possible here.
I think I'll try to reach the UDisc User on the local websites.

Yeah, I agree in general that it's a lot more locked down. The base was locked down, I just don't recall a background check.

PMay seems to be talking about an escorted pass, so less strict.

We had to deal with a funeral at Ft Riley about 6 years ago. My recollection is my nephew had to provide a list of names, we had to have valid ID, and we were granted unescorted access.
 
As far as using UDisc for skins, I think I figured out the best way.
If a person wins the 1st hole you mark them down for a "1". (this will look like a hole in 1, but obviously it isn't)
If holes get pushed you mark down the number of skins a hole was worth by the person who won the hole, for instance "5".
No other numbers get entered other than the number of skins won by the players who won them.
Once you finalize the scorecard it looks like UDisc adds up the number of holes won!

This was a test try...
