mobile.oobgolf.com is LIVE!
Tired of bringing your scorecards home? Use your cell phone to enter your scores as you walk off each green. Here are some of the benefits that this new service will bring:
  • No Scorecards - Or at least no more bringing them home. Now you can spend your time on oobgolf website evaluating your and your friends game, instead of entering scores.
  • More Detailed Tracking - Tracking on the course makes it easier to track things like penalty strokes, putts, etc that you normally don't write on a scorecard.
  • Hole Stats - When you approach the tee you will be provided with stats like most common club from tee, oobgolf averages, past scores and club used, etc. Allowing you to make better decisions on the course.
  • Live Scoring - While you are entering hole-by-hole your friends can watch your round develop from work.
This has been a work in progress for a while now and we believe it is now stable enough to bring in beta users. There are thousands of different wireless devices out there and we can't afford to buy and test on all of them. We have now tested using new Nokias, Motorola Q, Blackberry, Motorola Razr, and an Ericson.

Using mobile.oobgolf.com should be pretty simple, there is NOTHING to download or install. Point your wireless device browser at mobile.oobgolf.com. On most phones/pdas this is accessed from a "Go To URL" option. If you don't have a unlimited data included on your wireless plan you can still use this, however you will be charged by your carrier (usually very minimal fees). Once on the site, just login and start entering your scores.

Here is what you can expect over the next week around mobile.oobgolf.com:
  • Detailed documentation and help
  • Course Pages and ability to locate new courses
  • Expanded hole stats for on-course entering
  • Ability to enter scores on courses you haven't played before
Please post any feedback or problems you have on this page until we get some other documentation up.

I tried to record a live scoring round on my Blackberry Pearl 8130 but it didn't show up on my scores on the website? Does it take a while to update? Have I missed something? Let me know. Thanks. Jeremy

When I choose "Enter New Score" I don't get the Course/Tee drop down nor the Cancel and Next buttons. Hence, I can't go any further. When I go to that address with my web browser on my computer the same thing happens.

Anyone else have this problem?

jeremymymccarron, Did you finish the round? Sometimes if a round site at the first hole for an extended period of time I will remove it. But it should be there instantly.

It would be nice to have a way to go back and edit scores. Currently there is just a next button and no way to select a hole to edit a score after you enter it (except the back button, which could get tedious).

I used it today and it worked great. It's really useful and fun and the best part is that I don't have to enter any data when I return home.

One thought, we keep track of SAND shots but I don't see a category for "sand saves" anywhere.

Overall, it's great and I highly recommend it.

Would also like a place, both in the main scoring section, and on the phone, to track distance off the tee.

Hey klangdon,

Thanks for the reply. I did finish the round, but I hadn't played the course before. I read, subsequent to my post, that you were adding the functionality to record mobile scores on courses that hadn't been played before, so I assumed that I need to enter a place holder score prior to the round. I did that for the course I played the next day and it worked fine. Have you guys made that improvement, yet?

JoeGill1205 says:
On the mobile application, you should be able to start on either 1st tee OR 10th tee because sometimes courses will start you out. If I try to hit next to get to 10 when I start on that tee, it says "INVALID SCORE."

does it allow for tracking multiple players on one phone?

Is this available on all mobiles? It won't seem to work on my Samsung.

JoeGill1205 says:
I said before that you should be able to start on either the 1st tee or 10th tee before, but you should really be able to start on any tee. If you're playing in an event that has a shotgun start there's no way to even go back to a previous hole so if you don't start on the first hole (or tenth if you're playing just a back nine) then the mobile application isn't really any help.

I have a question. I have a NOKIA 6085. I talked with my wireless provider and they have web plans that I can add for my phone to access the internet. They have a 5Mb plan and a 15Mb plan. So questions now...The details I read said that tested new NOKIA's, Is the 6085 one of the models that will work. And if yes, which size plan would I need to add to my plan with this site. The 5Mb or 15Mb?

Every time i try to use the scorecard i enter all the necessary data and it always says "error invalid score." I have never gotten it to work. does anyone else have this problem? am i doing something wrong?

Rodgerlogan says:
It's not happening on my iPhone 3G. I try to "Upload" the scorecard and I keep getting the message "Invalid user name or password" I've signed up with oobgolf and ensured that the user name and password on my iPhone is the same as my login on oobgolf. What gives?
Aloha, Rodger

Had it on my Palm Treo, worked great. Just switched to Blackberry Storm. No go. Cant get the touch screen to work with the small icons. This is where an app in absolutely necessary. I loved this feature too. Kevin, help me out here. Dont want to go back to paper.

Sod Farmer says:
Having trouble with the date picker on the enter scores dialouge when trying to enter scores from last year. For example when I pick April 24th 2008 and save the score it shows up as 5/24/2008. When I choose May 15th 2008 it saves correctly as 5/15/2008 when I enter June 5th 2008 it saves as 7/5/2008?

I vote for an app as well. If at all possible. I get to try this out on Wednesday at a course near my house. I can't wait. I'll comment back on how it worked on my BB Curve from Verizon.

Jim Karam says:
For whatever it's worth, I've used this feature successfully a dozen times or so, all over the US, on my Samsung i500 PalmPhone. However, since Palm quit supporting most of their own browsers, I've had to access the URL using the AvantGo application, but it works fine.

yomonk1 - I have a storm also. Do you ever go to crackberry.com there is a place there where guys do apps. I wonder if they can get something done there for us storm users. Really sucks to here it doesnt work on the storm.

weaponrsunfire says:
I have had no problem with my Blackberry Storm. I just want it to upload my scores to facebook, but it is not doing it. as for yomonk1 comments about the icons being to small for the touch screen storm just click on the menu button and zoom in until they are big enough for you. I also used an app for my Blackberry Storm called www.greenfindergps.com/ it tells you the exact distance to the front, center, & back of the green. it saved me a lot of time in trying to figure out what club to use. One side note with using it though. if your round takes more than 4 hours it will most likely kill your battery.

I use it every time I play and love it. The only thing I wish were available is a current +/- (under/over par) along with the current score that is already there.

Bring It! says:
There is an iphone app for this and it is freaking awesome!!!! It's called GolfCard. They only problem with it is that it so cool that you will spend your time on the course looking at the real time GPS shots of yourself on the course and messing with the touch screen yardage meter (freakin' awesome!) and you won't be thinking about your next shot! Or you'll be screwing around with the settings while the people behind you start throwing things at you. Everything is uploaded to oobgolf.com at the touch of a button and well, it's freakin' awesome!!

Great web app. I have a Palm Pre and the pages are very small on the display, I have to zoom in pretty far to make it useful, I love entering the data as I go(as long as it's not slowing me down) but everytime I enter the next stroke I have to zoom in again.

I use golfcard for the iPhone and upload the score at the end of the round. I love it. I would love it even more if I could score live from the golfcard app.

Did you all change some server timeouts in the last few weeks? I've been successfully using this for quite some time. Maybe I'd be asked to login again once in a blue moon, but for the last few weeks, I've been having to re-login several times per round. I'm using the same phone on the same carrier. I also disabled roaming to see if that made a difference, but it did not. Any ideas?
