Golf Genius

Members need to register with the WGC’s Golf Genius league portal to sign up online for weekly play. Registering also allows members to see private pages on the portal which include Pairings and Results pages. This process involves the WGC sending an email to its members. This email will contain instructions on how to register with the portal. Member steps include the following. 

1) Members open the email received from Golf Genius and click on “Confirm Registration”.

2) Members are then directed to the sign in page in a browser. They will use the temporary password that’s been assigned to them in the registration email to log in.

3) Members create a permanent personal password.

4) Members are now logged into the portal and and can sign in at any time, from anywhere, with their email address and password.

On a computer, click on the Golf Genius logo on the front page of the WGC website (bvwgc.com). A new tab in your browser will open to the Home Page of the Golf Genius WGC portal.

A player must be signed in to the portal in order to change her status regarding any upcoming round. Members can determine if they are signed in to the portal by looking to the right on the menu bar. Members will be presented with one of two prompts to sign in. The first option would be the words “Sign In” showing if you need to sign in. The second option would be clicking on 3 bars to the right of the menu bar. If already signed in, there may be a graphic showing to the right on the menu bar. If you are already signed in, skip the instructions in the next paragraph about signing in. You should skip over to the information about open rounds. 

If you are not signed in to the portal, you will see the “Sign In” prompt or 3 bars on the right hand side of the menu bar. Click the prompt and enter the email address and password you used to register for the WGC portal. You should now be able to click and open all the menu options.

Once logged in, the club’s open rounds will be listed in one of two ways. The open rounds could either (1) be showing on the left hand side of the home page with the Welcome message to the right of those rounds OR (2) they could be showing in the middle of your screen with the Welcome message showing BELOW the open rounds.

Play options available for each open round are: Sign Up, You are signed up or Cancel Signup. The default option is set to “You are not signed up”. To sign up to play, click on the Sign Up option. After choosing that option, a prompt to confirm your choice will appear at the top of your screen in the middle. Select your response. The options under that round should now be changed to reflect your choice.

If you need to cancel play, go back to the WGC portal page and hit the Cancel Signup option to remove yourself from playing the round in question.

If you subsequently find that you are able to play a round before sign ups close for that round, go back to the WGC portal and hit the Sign Up button to add yourself to the round.

Each time you change your playing status for a round, Golf Genius will send you an email confirming your play option. Please disregard the part of the email which talks about getting waitlisted. The WGC will NOT be using the Golf Genius waitlist option. Changes to a member’s play status AFTER sign ups are closed on Mondays at 10pm should be made via phone call to the Pairings Contact for that week.
