It's been brought up a bunch of times so I finally decided to try and make this happen. It might have helped had I been familiar with facebook since I had to learn what was what on the site and how things worked over there. At that point I spent a good week figuring out how to code something to get the two sites talking. But enough back story, on with the good stuff!
In your dashboards you'll notice a new "Connect to Facebook" button. Click that and follow the facebook prompts. You *should* get a permissions prompt immediately after connecting your account to DGCR, if you don't I think it should come up at some point (maybe a page reload) but you'll need to authorize the site to post on your wall, etc. Also, if you want the connection to remain active, you'll need to remain logged in to facebook (click the remember login thing) or you need to login to facebook in the same browser session prior to visiting DGCR.
Once you're connected, you should see a list of preferences there for what you want to share. The only "share" that is automated is adding a played course as it's just a button click on the site. For the rest of the items, you will see a checkbox at the bottom of the review/score/schedule forms with a checkbox to indicate whether you want to share this particular review/score on Facebook.
The dashboard preferences control these check boxes. So if you turn "New Reviews" on then the checkbox on the review form will always be checked by default. If you set it to off, then the checkbox will be off by default (you can always click it to on if you want to share reviews/scores on a case by case basis).
If your facebook account is not connected to DGCR or you're not currently logged in to facebook, you will not see any facebook options other than the connect button on the dashboard.
Wow.. that was wordy but hopefully somewhat clear as to what's what. As always, if you run into problems let me know. I'm guessing their may be a few as this facebook stuff is very new to me but I tested everything out and it seems to be working so fingers crossed
