New Features Coming in next release

Notice on the scoring page to the right that the name of the course is prominently displayed at the top of the screen.  This was placed here to reduce confusion. Seeing the name of the course here on the scoring page will reassure you that you are on the right 'track'.
















The "Skin Settings" image to the left represents the main screen used to calculate skins.  This screen will always "remember" the settings you used last time you were here.

The Nassau Settings screen to the right will also "remember" every setting from the last time you used that page.  No need to continually flip all the switches the way you like them - for each visit - Golf Whiz will now remember remember how you bet and will re-use the last settings every time in.















Notice on the screen to the left, that there is a "Save As Default" button.  This is the screen used to setup the fourball and this same screen is used to setup each of the six singles matches that can exist within your foursome.  When you tap this button in either context (fourball or singles), Golf Whiz will save the current settings as your default nassau bet values.  The nice thing is that it will distinguish between your fourball defaults and your singles defaults.

Play well.

Golf Whiz 2.5.4 released to Apple for review

Today, we released v2.5.4 to Apple for review.  It should be available for download in the next 3-5 days.  Here are the changes you can expect to see in this new release.

major enhancement :: black dots are displayed on the scoring page to show where shots are being given.  See in the image to the right that Dave Ambrose is a 5 handicap and is getting a shot on the current hole.  (#9 with hole handicap: 4).  Other player handicaps are shown beneath the player names.  

This works for the main 2-man match (i.e. the four ball) only.  Note also that if you have selected the option for "Stroke off low man in the group", the low man's handicap will be adjusted up or down to 0 and the other 3 players in the group will be adjusted in the same direction for the same number of strokes.  (When this feature is activated, a message appears at the bottom of this page indicating that handicaps have been adjusted.)

major enhancement :: now supports 9 hole skins calculations where handicaps are being applied.  We had several 9-hole leagues contact us with this request.  (See toggle bar in the screenshot for All 18, Front Only, and Back Only)

minor enhancement :: modified Facebook posts to omit the Golf Whiz icon, which was making the Facebook post convert to a Facebook picture upload/post.  Now Golf Whiz Facebook posts are textual only.

Play well.

v2.5.3 is released to iTunes

Today, we released v2.5.3 to Apple for review.  It should be available for download in the next 3-5 days.  Here are the changes you can expect to see in this new release.

major enhancement: greatly increased the amount of window space given to the leader board.  Now, the leader board and the chat window are separate windows that you toggle between, rather than the two windows splitting a single screen in half.  Leaderboard/chat window toggle buttons now moved to the bottom of that screen.

minor enhancement: fixed the spinning activity indicators so that they spin properly when updating/refreshing the chat window as well as the leader board.  The spinner also now works when the leader board is first displayed.  (the spinner used to only come up on refresh - it did not appear on initial load).

minor enhancement: swapped out the Facebook integration engine.  Provides cleaner posts to Facebook.  Pictured throughout this post are some examples of the new posts you can make to facebook.

minor enhancement: when the leader board is displayed, the "show join codes" button was already depressed and can not be pressed again until the "update leader board" button is tapped.  Now, either button is ready to be tapped when the leader board is displayed.

minor enhancement: changed the wording on the main buttons used to enter scorecard info.  One now says, "Enter Completed Scorecards" and the other, "Play Golf Now".  

minor bug fix: The email that is generated when sending a leader board "join code" to someone did not correctly display the name of the event (i.e. leader board title) in the body of the email.

minor enhancement: fixed leader board issue 

Play well.
