Coming soon

Tournaments. Round up the field, run your own.

The club championship, the summer scramble, the yearly grudge match between two groups that nobody will let go of. Soon you will run all of it inside Golfsocial: set the format, invite the field, and let the leaderboard do the rest. Tournaments are on their way, free like everything else, and built so the smallest fourball or the biggest society works the same way.

Set it up in minutes

Create a tournament, choose the format, set the date and invite the players. No clipboards, no printed start sheets, no spreadsheet at the bar afterwards trying to work out who won. The setup that used to eat an evening takes a few minutes on your phone.

Every format, your call

Run it the way your group likes to play. Stableford for a forgiving, points-based day, stroke play when every shot counts, match play for the head-to-head needle, or a scramble when you want teams and chaos. Net scoring is built in, so mixed handicaps still make for a real fight.

The leaderboard does the work

As scores come in, the standings update themselves and everyone follows along, in the group and on the course. The competition stays alive from the first tee to the last putt, and when it is done the whole thing is saved in your group, the result on the record and the rematch already brewing.

When it lands

Tournaments are one of the next features arriving in Golfsocial. We are not putting a date on it, because we would rather ship it right than ship it loud. The app is already here, so download Golfsocial now and tournaments will be ready the moment they go live.

What to expect
