Official Score Cards

Official Score Cards serve as the definitive record for each group during the event, ensuring accurate score entry into the results program. They must be legible, mutually agreed upon by all group members, and signed by the Group Score Keeper. Once finalized and submitted, these score cards become the official and final record of the event's results. 

PlayThru Phone Scoring

PlayThru Phone Scoring, utilized by the F.P.G.A., allows tournament participants to view live scoring updates directly on their phones as scores are entered for each group, enhancing transparency and engagement. Each group designates one player to record scores after completing each hole, ensuring real-time accuracy.
