FAQ

Common Questions

Device, connection, and staffing requirements.

How many tablets do I need?
One tablet per hole is the minimum. For optimal experience, add: 1 dedicated registration kiosk (optional), 1 selfie station tablet (optional), 1 results kiosk (optional), and TVs for leaderboards (optional).
What if WiFi goes down?
Stationary tablets require a working connection for scoring and group movement. If the connection fails, have staff pause tablet scoring and follow your course backup procedure.
Can players still use their phones?
PuttScores also supports phone scorecards. Check which scoring flow you have configured and give each group clear instructions before they begin.
What happens when it rains?
Choose enclosures and power arrangements suited to your conditions. Follow the device and enclosure specifications, and take tablets out of service when conditions are unsuitable.
Do I need tech-savvy staff?
Train staff to help groups register, use the tablets, manage queues, and handle connection or device problems through the Ranger Portal.
What subscription is required?
Enabling Stationary Mode requires Premium or Enterprise access. Check your plan in Billing before configuring the tablets.
