TV Display & Leaderboard Guide

Overview

TV Display provides browser links for leaderboards, scorecard selfies and course queues. Choose the scorecards, layout and time periods, then open the generated link on your display device.

Before setup: Check the display options available for your course. The multi-board builder requires at least two scorecards.

Step-by-Step Setup

1

Open TV Display

Go to Manage → TV Display. Choose Leaderboards, Selfies or Other Displays for the link you need.

2

Configure Display Content

In the leaderboard builder, choose a scorecard and time period for each board. Select Split Screen, Quad View or Auto-Rotate, and review the preview.

3

Set display options

Set screen rotation for a sideways-mounted TV. Review optional hole-in-one shoutouts, the selfie reel and QR overlay, then select Generate TV URL.

4

Open on Your TV

Open the generated URL in the display browser. Check fullscreen behavior, readable text and orientation on the actual screen.

5

Test Live Updates

Check that the selected scorecards and time periods show the expected completed rounds. Confirm the display continues updating while connected.

Configuration

Display content

Leaderboards: Choose scorecards and a time period for each board.
Selfies: Choose a gallery layout, source scorecard and rotation speed.
Other Displays: Open the course queue or an individual Leaderboard TV link.
Tournaments: Open the tournament's dedicated TV page from its admin screen.

Layout options

Display Mode: Split Screen for two boards, Quad View for four, or Auto-Rotate.
Screen rotation: Choose 0, 90, 180 or 270 degrees. Rotation is saved in the generated link.
QR overlay: Select the scorecard and text for a code players can scan.
Updates: Keep the device connected. Multi-board standings refresh periodically; individual leaderboards also respond to live update events.

Selfies

Use the Selfies tab for a dedicated gallery, or enable the selfie reel in the leaderboard builder. Select the source scorecard and preview the images before opening the display to visitors.

These displays use scorecard-gallery photos. Check the selected source when an expected photo is missing.

Tips & Best Practices

High-Traffic Placement

Put the TV where players wait: lobby, check-in area, or near the first hole. Check that the text is readable from the waiting area.

Check audio

Check the audio setting on the actual device, especially if hole-in-one shoutouts are enabled.

Adjust Brightness

For glow-golf venues, reduce TV brightness so it doesn't overpower the course lighting.

Celebrate Top Scores

Choose a leaderboard period appropriate to the event, such as Today or Last 7 Days.

FAQ

Open the generated display URL on the device you intend to use. Check text, layout, connection, fullscreen and sleep settings before relying on it during opening hours.

The multi-board page refreshes its standings approximately every 30 seconds while connected, with refresh deferred during a hole-in-one celebration. Individual leaderboard pages also respond to live update events. Check the selected time period and completed round when a result is missing.
