When we switched over to this Excel-based behemoth to track the scores in TBO Golf, it had some bugs in the system. Within the next few years, most (if not all) bugs had been worked out of the system.

What can never be removed from the system is the IT Nerd fat-fingering a number or entering the wrong score. With a human entering the scores, there is always going to be errors. You might have got a 4 on a hole, but I entered in a 5. I’ve done it before and I’ll most certainly do it again.

There are some folks who are very diligent about reviewing their scores and let me know when a score was entered incorrectly. In all honesty, I appreciate the feedback loop letting me know something is wrong. If you aren’t doing so already, I’d ask that when you come to check the website to review the standings, take a look at the Weekly results posts and make sure your round was entered correctly. I can then double check what was entered vs. what was on the card.

Which is a nice transition to my next update: paper cards. Previously, El Commish held on to all the paper cards for record keeping. So if there was an issue, we would go to the paper card for review. Going forward, I will be taking photos of all the cards and storing them in the cloud (OneDrive to be precise). That way, there is an electronic record of the cards that the league can use as storage. If you are making up a round, please take a photo of the card and text it to myself or El Commish (Chris).

See you Thursday!
