What is my "Dashboard?"
The Dashboard is your personal information centre on Offcourse. This is where all of the statistical date you've compiled lives. At the top is your basic profile info including pictures you've uploaded and your current handicap. You can also see aggregated stats like your average score and total rounds.
The Dashboard also contains the graph analysis of Your Game! You can see your scoring trends of your latest rounds, statistics for accuracy of approach shot and fairways hit when driving, as well as your accumulated scoring; how many eagles, birdies, pars, etc. you've made.
Your Dashboard also contains your "Golf Central" news centre; an info stream of what you and your friends ("Tour Members") have been doing on Offcourse.
The "Your Tour" section ranks your friends on Offcourse in a variety of categories.
And "Favourite Courses…" well… those are your favourite courses.
What are "Tour Members?"
Simply put, these are your friends that you are following. As in "friends" like you have on other social networking sites. You can find new Tour Members by clicking on "Tour Members" and searching for your buddies who use Offcourse by name.
What is the "Gallery?"
The Gallery is the group of people who follow you. When you follow another Offcourse user by making them a Tour Member, you're joining their Gallery.
Does Offcourse have GPS?
Yes, we have GPS Yardage. While playing a round of golf, if that course is mapped, you will notice a little button "Show Yds to Green". Touch that to open a map which gives the yardage from where you are to the center of the green.
If you find a course that is missing yardage or that isn't looking quite right, please send us feedback letting us know what course and any other details we might need to know.

How many rounds does Offcourse save?

The scorecard for the course I'm playing is wrong. How can we get that fixed?
If you come across scorecard problems, simply send us some feedback and let us know.
There is a feedback button in the menu on the app and one at the top of the Offcourse website. Let us know what isn't right. Photos from the feedback button in the app are very helpful.

I can't find a golf course?
You might run into the odd golf course that isn't in our system. If you do, you have a few options.
- You can send us some feedback and let us know what course is missing.
- Or, in the app after you have failed to search for the course, you will see a button at the bottom the course search results. Press that "Add New Course and Play" button and you can take a photo of the scorecard and still log your round. Once we add the course we will transfer the round you entered to the proper course.
I own or work for a golf course, can I update the information about my course?
