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.

I tried this feature on my Palm TREO and it works perfectly. Nice job.

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?

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.
