iPhone · Scorecard · Side games

Keep score. Run the games.

The golf scorecard that also runs your group's side games. Skins, Nassau, match play, Stableford, Wolf and more, scored live from the first tee.

Points between friends. No real money, ever.

Birdies & Bets home screen: the round in progress at Heronmere Golf Club on hole 17 with Resume round, this year’s rounds, average, best and points, and recent rounds.
In play

One hole at a time.

Score the hole, and the games and the card take care of themselves. Standings update before you reach the next tee.

  1. The round in progress on hole 17: each player’s score with minus and plus buttons, the standings line, and the Wolf prompt naming the wolf.
    01

    Score the hole

    Tap for par, minus for a birdie, plus for a bogey. Handicap strokes show on the holes that get them.

  2. Standings: Maya Chen leads with 5 skins, the skins won hole by hole, and the Nassau match between Alex and Sam.
    02

    The games keep up

    Skins carry, the hot seat changes hands, the match swings. Every game recalculates the moment the hole is scored.

  3. A finished round’s scorecard in net: birdie circles, bogey squares, handicap stroke dots, and the Out, In and total columns.

    The card keeps itself

    Birdies circled, bogeys boxed, gross or net with one tap. Share it to the group chat at the 19th.

The tour

Every screen, first tee to final putt.

Build the round, score it, see who won and share the card. Swipe through the whole app.

Built for the course

A proper card first.

Front nine, back nine, birdies and bogeys marked, handicap strokes on every hole. Everything else sits on top.

Handicaps done properly

Enter each index and the app works out the course handicap for the tee you're on, marks the holes that get a stroke, and lets every stroke game score gross or net. Plus handicaps, allowances, back nine and shotgun starts included.

Back up to a file

Save every round, course and player to a file, and restore it on a new phone.

  • Crash reports with no names, scores or courses. On unless you turn them off in Settings
  • Usage stats only if you opt in. No advertising, and no tracking across other apps or websites
  • Stakes are points. The app never touches money
