Your buddies trip
deserves a real leaderboard.
Sixteen mates or a hundred and forty-four. Fifteen formats, live scoring the whole group can follow, flights and net prizes that keep it fair, and a sponsored board for the clubhouse TV.
See it working
Real screens from a live tournament, not mockups.
A scorecard that reads like a scorecard
Every player gets a column and every hole shows its par. Birdies take a red circle and bogeys a blue square, exactly as they are marked on the card in your back pocket — so you can see how the match is going without reading a single number.
This is a four-ball played net. The app takes each side’s low ball, applies the strokes each player receives, and keeps the running total honest while you play.
Three taps a hole, and it keeps the match
Tap who won the hole. The running state — two up, all square, dormie — is worked out and carried forward, and the match closes itself the moment it can no longer be lost.
Nobody is doing arithmetic on the sixteenth tee, and nobody is arguing about it in the bar afterwards either.
One board the whole group watches
The team score at the top, every match underneath with where it stands, and the closest to the pin and longest drive with the sponsor who paid for them.
Share the code and anyone can follow it — playing or not, account or not. This is two rounds of a members’ cup: one four-ball in, one still out on the course.
A whole field, ranked to par
Field events get a board that reads like a tournament: position, score to par, and how many holes each team has played.
Flights are scored separately, so the B flight is playing for its own trophy and more teams still have something to play for on the back nine.
The draw, made in one line
Say “shotgun at 9:00”, or “first group at 8:00, ten minutes apart”, and the sheet is made. Any group can be dragged somewhere else afterwards.
Every player sees their own time and starting hole on the board, which is the end of being asked what time they are off.
Paste the list. Don’t retype it.
The teams are already written down somewhere — an email, a WhatsApp thread, a sheet pinned up in the pro shop. Paste it in, or photograph it, and the whole field arrives as teams and players.
Handicaps and email addresses are read off the line beside each name. Nothing is saved until you have looked it over.
The people you play with, kept
A society plays the same two dozen people every Tuesday, and until now every event started by typing all of them in again. Keep them once and pick who is in this week.
They do not need accounts to be on the list. Most of a society is names on a sheet, and the app does not pretend otherwise.
Fifteen formats, each explained in a line
Pick the format for each round and the scoring follows it: four-ball takes the low ball, Stableford counts against par, skins carry a halved hole into the next.
Every one says in a line what it actually is, so whoever is setting the event up does not have to already know.
Matchups it counts for you
Tap players onto a side. It says how many the format wants and how many you have, greys out anyone already out in another match, and will not take a pairing that is short.
Round two of the same event, being built while round one is still being played.
One email, and they are on the team
Put an address beside a name on the roster and the invitation goes out. If they already have an account it is waiting for them when they open the app.
If they don’t, the email signs them up and lands them on the team — and their handicap index follows them into every event after this one.
One app, every kind of golf day
They look different from the outside. Underneath they are all a field, a format and a prize list.
The buddies trip
Four days, four formats, two teams and a trophy nobody will shut up about. Rosters and matchups change every round.
The charity scramble
A hundred plus players, a shotgun start, hole sponsors on every tee and a board in the clubhouse all afternoon.
The annual club event
Flights by handicap, gross and net winners, and the same event run again next year without rebuilding it.
The sponsored day
Title sponsor on the board, closest to the pin on 7 sold to the local diner, and everyone can see it.
The Tuesday game
The same eight people most weeks. Keep them as a society once, then start next week’s game by picking who is playing out of the list — nobody retypes eight names and eight handicaps to play nine holes.
The season Next up
A winter league or an order of merit: events through the year with a running table that adds itself up. Being built — the app marks it the same way rather than pretending it is finished.
Built for the way a cup actually runs
Multi-round, multi-format team events — not a single scorecard app with a leaderboard bolted on.
A leaderboard everyone follows
Share an invite code and the whole group watches it live — playing or not. Guests can follow without creating an account.
Every format, scored properly
Four-ball takes the low ball. Stableford counts against par. Skins carry a halved hole into the next. The rules are in the scoring, not in your head.
Handicaps that make it fair
The lowest handicap in each match plays off scratch and everyone else receives the difference, allocated from the hardest hole down.
Any number of teams and players
Two sides or six. Singles, pairs, or a whole-field Stableford. Rosters and matchups change round to round.
Know who wrote what
Every score records who entered it. Assign a scorer per match and lock the card down, or leave it open to the group.
Courses with real stroke indexes
Search a course and pull in its pars and stroke indexes, then correct anything by hand — or photograph the card by the first tee and let the app read it. No course database is right every time.
Or write the whole event out once
Not just the teams — the rounds, the formats, the sponsors and the tee times too. Fill in the template wherever you already write things down, paste it in, and the tournament builds itself and invites everybody in it.
Paste the list, don’t retype it
The teams are already in an email or a WhatsApp thread. Paste them in, or photograph the pairings sheet, and the whole field arrives as teams and players — handicaps beside the names included.
Tee times and shotgun starts
Say “first group at 8:00, ten minutes apart” or “shotgun at 9:00” and the sheet is made. Every player sees their own time and starting hole on the board, so nobody has to ask.
The people you play with
Keep the society, the club trip or the regular fourball on file. Next time you set an event up, pick the players out of it instead of typing eight names and eight handicaps again.
Invite players to their team
Send an invitation to any name on the roster. They accept, and their handicap index comes with them into this event and every one after it.
Fifteen formats, out of the box
Pick a format per round. The scoring follows automatically.
More than one way to win
Real events award several prizes. The app tracks all of them at once.
Flights
Split the field by ability into A, B and C — or whatever you call them — and each division gets its own leaderboard and its own winner. More teams still playing for something on the back nine.
Gross and net
Both are tracked side by side, so the scratch player and the 22-handicap can win different prizes in the same event. They usually are different teams.
Closest to the pin
Pinned to the hole it belongs to. Whoever is on the tee records the winner and the distance from their phone — no chasing a scrap of paper at the prize table.
Longest drive, longest putt
Same again, on whichever holes you set. Run a men's and a women's on the same hole if you want.
Skins that carry
A halved hole carries into the next, so the pot builds the way it should. The board shows what is riding.
Sell any of it
Attach a sponsor to a contest and they are credited on the board and the clubhouse display, next to the prize they paid for.
For clubs and charity events
A scramble with 36 teams is a different job to a buddies trip. Fore The Cup runs both.
Your sponsors on the board
The title sponsor sits beside the event name, hole sponsors are credited on their hole, and the rest run along the bottom. Sponsors are how these events pay for themselves.
A leaderboard on the clubhouse TV
Big enough to read across a room, pages through the whole field on its own, and keeps showing the last good board if the wifi drops.
Shotgun starts handled properly
Assign every team a hole and a time in one go. And because groups finish at different times, scores rank to par — a team two under through nine is placed above one that finished level, not below it.
Any size of field
Tested at 36 teams and 144 players, ranked in a fraction of a second. Add teams as they register; nothing is capped.
Course data, corrected by you
Pull in a course's pars and stroke indexes, then fix anything by hand. The app flags a scorecard that cannot be right rather than quietly scoring a round wrong.
Net scoring for mixed abilities
Enter handicaps and the app allocates strokes from the hardest hole down, so a beginner and a scratch player can play the same event fairly.
Control who keeps the card
Assign a scorer to each group, or leave it open. Every score records who entered it, which settles the argument at the prize table.
