Hi there! I understand you’re having trouble with TheGrint not automatically adjusting your score per hole. To help you better, could you tell me a bit more about when this happens? For example:

- Are you entering your scores hole-by-hole during a round, or uploading the total score afterward?
- Is this happening on the web version or the mobile app?
- Have you noticed if any score adjustments appear at all, like the "Adjusted Gross Score" or do you only see the raw scores?

This info will help me guide you through the right steps to get those automatic adjustments working. Meanwhile, I'll share how it generally works so you have some context.

TheGrint uses your Course Handicap Index to adjust your maximum allowed score per hole (usually a cap like Par + 2 strokes plus additional handicap strokes you get on a hole). This adjustment helps in calculating your Handicap Index fairly. Usually, the app or website does this automatically once you input your scores hole-by-hole. You shouldn’t have to adjust scores manually yourself2 5.

If you’re entering total scores without detail per hole, the automatic adjustment might not trigger because the system can’t apply maximum allowable scores per hole without the breakdown.

Let me know those details, and I can walk you step-by-step through entering your scores correctly or fix any settings that might be off!

Grint isn't automatically adjust my score per hole. I've entered my total strokes for each hole. For example, par 4 hole I took 8 strokes for this hole. The adjusted line is 8 strokes. Shouldn't the adjusted score be double bogey plus strokes be adjusted to 7?

Thanks for your details! I see you’ve entered the total strokes for each hole, such as 8 strokes on a par 4, and you expect the adjusted score to reflect the maximum score allowed per USGA rules (like double bogey plus any handicap strokes), which should reduce your adjusted score from 8 to 7 in this case.

Here’s how TheGrint handles these adjustments:

- If you enter your scores hole-by-hole, the system automatically applies the maximum score per hole based on your Course Handicap and USGA guidelines (usually par + 2 strokes, plus any handicap strokes assigned to that hole). This is called your "Adjusted Gross Score."
- However, if you’re entering the raw strokes in the scorecard and seeing that the adjusted score stays the same as your entered strokes (8 adjusted to 8), the app is likely NOT applying the Equitable Stroke Control or maximum allowed per hole adjustment automatically in the adjustment column. Sometimes this can happen if your Course Handicap isn’t set or synced properly in your profile, or if the round is entered as a "Total Score" rather than a proper "Hole-by-Hole" scorecard within TheGrint.
- Additionally, if you input total scores but the app expects you to mark any adjusted strokes manually, the auto-adjustment wouldn’t trigger.

To get the adjustment working, I recommend these steps:

1. Check Your Course Handicap in your TheGrint profile to make sure it’s current and correctly reflects your handicap index. Adjustments rely on this number.
2. Ensure You Enter Scores Hole-by-Hole: When posting a score, select the option to enter individual hole scores rather than a total round score or combined scores.
3. Verify Round Type: Make sure the round is marked as "Tournament" or "Competition" rather than a casual round, as adjustment rules may apply differently.
4. Try Posting a New Score: Enter a new test score for a round hole-by-hole and see if the adjustment appears.
5. Review Settings in TheGrint: Check if any score adjustment settings or Equitable Stroke Control (ESC) filters are enabled or disabled within your account or round entry process.

If after these checks your adjusted scores are still not differing from your raw input, there might be a bug or sync issue, and I would suggest contacting TheGrint directly via their support email at [email protected] for help with your account settings.

To sum up: TheGrint should automatically adjust hole scores to max allowed strokes based on your handicap when you enter scores hole-by-hole, but if adjustments aren’t showing, verifying your handicap settings and score entry method is the best first step2 5.

Does this help clarify the issue? Would you like me to walk you through checking any of those account or score entry settings?
