Golf League SoftwareScoring
A golf league scoring app that keeps up with the course.
Scorers and golfers enter each hole on their phones as they play. When the last card is in, the night’s results, points and season standings are already done.

How scoring works on league night
- The organizer opens the night. Its status goes from scheduled to scoring, which is when scorers can enter cards.
- Each group scores as it plays. A scorer can enter cards for the whole group, or every golfer can keep their own card. Holes go in one at a time, in the order the group plays them: a group that starts on the 6th hole of a shotgun sees hole 6 first.
- Results build as cards come in. Gross, net and points are worked out from the strokes, so nobody adds up a card.
- The organizer closes the night. Once it is complete, the standings count it and scorers can no longer change it. League admins can still correct a card afterwards.
Who can enter what
| Role | While a night is scoring | After it is complete |
|---|---|---|
| Golfer | Their own card, once they have claimed their player | Read only |
| Scorer | Any card in the league | Read only |
| League admin | Any card | Any card (corrections) |
Nine holes or eighteen, front or back
A league plays 9 or 18 holes a night. A nine-hole league can play the front one week and the back the next: each round records which nine it was, and the course’s par, stroke index and yardage per tee come along with it.
Scores that never shift
When a card is started it keeps the handicap, flight and tee the golfer played with that night. Changing a handicap in July never changes a net score from June, and a season keeps its own rules even if the league changes format next year.
Where it runs today
- iPhone app: in testing with our first league for the 2027 season.
- ChatGPT and Claude: golfers, scorers and admins can enter or correct scores by asking, through our connector.
Questions
Can two people score the same group?
Yes. A scorer can enter the whole group while golfers keep their own cards. The last change to a hole wins, and only scorers and admins can change someone else’s card.
Does it handle a shotgun start?
Yes. A group’s starting hole sets the order holes are entered in, so a group starting on the 6th scores 6, 7, 8, 9, then 1 to 5.
Is there an Android app?
Not yet. The iPhone app comes first; Android golfers can use ChatGPT or Claude through our connector in the meantime.
