WHS Practical Guide – How do I get started?

First of all make sure you know your England Golf CDH number.  If in doubt ask for this from a member of the Clubhouse staff or contact your Handicap Secretary who will have access to the information.

How will I register my score?

The easiest way to register your score is direct onto your smart phone using the How Did I Do App which you can download from your App Store.

This Youtube clip will help you download and understand the App.  With the App installed, all you will have to do is:

  • Launch the App on your smart phone before you go out to play
  • Select “Today’s Golf” from the dropdown menu at the top righthand corner of the screen, sign in and select the competition that you are playing
  • Follow prompts for other information
  • Complete a paper card for your game – you will need to post this in the Competition box before you leave the club
  • At the end of your round agree your scores with your marker and enter them into the App, following any system prompts

I don’t have a smart phone – what do I do?

If you don’t have a smart phone you can file your scores on-line using your home computer.  You will do this by taking a copy of your card home and visiting HowDidIDo.  Follow the on-screen instructions.  You will only need to register once.  When you are in the site select the competition you have played, enter your scores and follow the prompts, before 23:59hrs on the day of play.

I don’t have a smart phone or a home computer – what about me?

We realise that there may be some members who don’t have access to the internet.  If this is you, then speak with the organizer of the competition you are playing.  In the short term it will be possible for the Handicap Committee to enter scores manually.  In the longer term, post COVID, there are plans for a Clubhouse tablet on which scores may be entered.

What do I do with my score card?

Whichever way you enter your score you must remember to leave your card in the appropriate competition box in the foyer at the Clubhouse before you leave.  All competition cards will be validated by our Handicap Secretaries as before and they will also undertake random checks on cards submitted for recreational golf.
