Where Golf League Network is ahead
- Formats: we only do individual stroke play (net or gross). No match play, Stableford, teams or skins yet.
- Admin extras: no schedule builder, league email or dues collection.
- Platforms: the iPhone app is still in testing; there is no Android app, and on the web, admins only manage their league’s public page so far.
- Track record: our first league starts on it in 2027.
Where we’re ahead
- Scoring that follows the group. Each group enters holes in the order it plays them, shotgun starts included, and two people can score the same group: the latest entry for a hole wins.
- History that never moves. Every round keeps the handicap, flight and tee it was played with, and every season keeps its own rules.
- ChatGPT and Claude. Golfers, scorers and admins can check standings or enter scores by asking (how it works).
- Private by default. Contact details are admin-only, and any public page shows “First L.” names.
- Free during early access for the 2027 season.
