Scoring & sync issues

Problem: Scores not syncing between players on the same scorecard

Symptoms: Friend's scores aren't showing up on your device, or your scores aren't appearing for others in your group

Common solutions:

  1. Check your internet connection — poor cell service is the most common cause. Both you and your cardmates need a data connection for live syncing.

  2. Verify the correct username is on the scorecard
    Go to the You tab in UDisc and check the username you're logged in as. Make sure that exact username is listed on the scorecard. If the wrong username was added, remove it and add the correct one.

  3. Move to an area with better cell service — if you're in a dead zone, continue playing and scores will sync automatically once you have a connection.

Login & account issues

Problem: Can't log in or account access issues

Symptoms: Password not working, account locked, login errors

Beta version issues

Problem: Experiencing bugs or instability on Beta version

Course display issues

Problem: Can't find or see a course

Symptoms: Course missing from map, not appearing in search

Quick fixes to try first:

  1. Check your internet connection — course data requires an active connection to load

  2. Pull down to refresh on the course list or map screen

  3. Update your location permissions — make sure UDisc has access to your location. See the GPS & location issues section above for exact steps.

  4. Zoom out on the map — the course might be just outside your current view

  5. Try searching by course name instead of browsing the map

  6. Restart the app and check again
