Usually, this issue would be caused by the location permission for the HowDidiDo app being denied. If a member does not have location (GPS) services enabled on his/her mobile device, a score cannot be pre-registered or submitted.
The GB&I Golfing governing bodies previously introduced new regulations for the returning of General Play Scores for the purpose of “Safeguarding Handicap Integrity”.
These regulations stipulate a maximum distance that the player can be from the club when a round is pre-registered, and a score is returned using a mobile device. They are also stipulating a minimum duration between pre-registration and score submission.
These distance/time limits are as follows for the different home unions:
- England 2 Miles/3.2km – minimum 1 hour for 9 holes, 2 hours for 18
- Ireland 1.86 Miles 3Km – minimum 1 hour for 9 holes, 2 hours for 18
- Scotland 1 Mile/1.6Km – minimum 45 minutes for 9 holes, 1 hour 30 minutes for 18
- Wales 1.86 Miles/3Km – minimum 1 hour for 9 holes, 2 hours for 18
Other National Federations/Unions have not informed us of any updates in their regulations.

Obviously you (HDID) go into computer mode and expect everyone to sort their own problems. It seems your AI robot is blaming my location and goes into excuses of distance. I actually live less than a mile from my golf course.
Your AI attempt to sort is woeful
i agree with Philip. THIS IS A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME
