Moving your golf league off a spreadsheet

Most leagues run on a spreadsheet someone built years ago. Here’s how to move one over without losing what it does.

By the Golf League Software team · Updated

1. Gather what the spreadsheet holds

  • Roster: names and current handicaps (and member numbers, if you use them).
  • Flights: fixed, or worked out from handicaps? How many per flight?
  • Course: par and stroke index for each hole, per tee.
  • Your rules: net or gross, the handicap allowance, how points are awarded, how ties split, how many nights count.

2. How spreadsheet formulas map to settings

In your spreadsheetIn Golf League Software
Net = gross − handicapNet scoring, with your allowance (100% or less)
RANK within each flightPoints scope: within flights
Points = players − place + 1Points: field size minus place
AVERAGE of tied placesTies: split
SUM of the best 10 weeksCount best 10 nights
A handicap column per weekHandicap history, kept with each round

3. Keep the old file

Your past seasons stay in the spreadsheet. Start fresh with the new season, or send us last season’s results to bring over.

4. Start

Send us your roster and rules with the form below. During early access we set up your league with you, then you share a join code with your golfers. See how to run a golf league for the decisions to make first.
