Tell your friends!

It may be small but we hope it’ll be useful.  We’ve added a ‘Invite your friends’ feature to Sandwedged.   When you login to your account, from the ‘My Home’ page you can choose ‘Invite friends’ from within the Friends area of the page.  This will allow you to send a couple of email invitations to your fellow golfing friends to come along and join the Sandwedged party.  Hopefully you will find this feature useful, so go on, invite your friends!

Check the weather before you golf!

There’s no worse feeling than being half way through your round of golf, spotting that the heavens are about to open, with the sharp realisation you’ve left your waterproofs in the boot of the car.

Rain often makes golf less enjoyable but it’s always a bit more tolerable when you are prepared for it.

To make sure you are always ready for whatever the local weather conditions are for your golf day, we have added in a three day weather forecast for every single golf club in our golf course directory.

So whether it is shorts and shades or golf umbrella at the ready, check Sandwedged in advance of your round and you’ll have no excuse not to be perfectly prepared.

The Score Tracker - A Place To Record All Your Golf Scores

Whether you are a regular golfer or just someone who likes the occasional game with a friend, it’s nice to be able to remember those special rounds where everything goes right.

So, we created the Sandwedged Golf Score Tracker so that you have a place to keep a comprehensive record of all your golf scores.

If you play golf regularly, the Score Tracker is a great tool to see whether you are improving over time, especially important if you are playing the same course. Recording your scores hole-by-hole gives you the option to compare your performance, identifying the troublesome holes where you drop shots and those holes which you play to perfection.

For the social golfer, the Score Tracker can be the place where you show off all the golf scores you are proud of, and keep those rather embarrassing scores hidden away. If you aren’t interested in seeing your hole-by-hole scores, you can just enter your total score instead.

Everyone loves a bit of a competition and so we’ve made sure you can enter your the score of the golf partner or friend who played the round with you. Keeping track of those head-to-head rounds gives you a record of who won the bragging rights on the golf course, something which is always worth printing out and showing off when you’re having a nice drink in the clubhouse.
