I am looking for an App for both iPhone & Android that can be easily & affordably used for an upcoming TST Outing in May 2023 (see thread below) and am looking for a app to use for real time scoring.  I would like the ability to enter handicaps and also run a "Game" or two to add fun to the outing.  I've located some on my iPhone App Store but many have very few & very mixed reviews.  Looking for ideas

@StuM… Why?

Though I love online scoring for events (like, my daughter playing a college event, etc.)…

  • We've never had them in the past (not really a "reason" just pointing it out)
  • They cost money, typically.
  • Not everyone has a phone.
  • Not everyone wants to BE on their phone. I know I enjoy not having to be on my phone when I'm playing golf.
  • There's some mystery to not knowing where you stand that I find fun.

Plus, sometimes, the games we make up aren't necessarily supported by the various apps you might find.

I'm not saying "no, definitely." But I am asking… why?

What do the others attending think?

If people do not want to use it for TST Outing, no problem.  I would still like ideas as I do not people that may like them.

The USGA GHIN app does some basic stuff like keeping score for a group, and gross/net matches.

I think other apps like Grint or 18birdies may do more, but I can ent used either of those since before I kept a handicap.

I think in most of them (like Golf Genius, etc.) you will end up paying about $150 per tournament or so.

Maybe more nowadays.

TheGrint, I believe requires at least one in each foursome to be a premium member.

For my MGA chapter, we started using Playthru Golf.  It's not an app, but a web-based scoring program.  It has a live leaderboard and is free, as long as you don't need the program to create scorecards or other options.  If you only want it for scoring purposes, it's totally free.  Someone will have to start an account, create the event on the website, and send out the link to the competitors.  I've used it several times with no hiccups, other than players forgetting to put in their scores.  It does not have GPS capabilities.  It is only for scorekeeping.

I used the Hole 19 despite loading various others onto my phone.  It was the first one I tried and I was happy enough with it.  Then, recently my home club switched to the Online Golf app, so I am now using that since it will register my score and sort out my handicap all together.  The only problem with it is the lack of information.  The Hole 19 app had data like whether the ball went left or right off the tee, bunker shots, penalties, number of putts, GIR etc.  Unfortunately all the Online Golf app has is the score but it is easier to use one app only rather than 2 separate ones at the same time.  Maybe over time I will try using both and see if it works.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.

      I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.

      Yes, but you don't live in the UK, so you have no idea what we think about it here. It's a very different mindset here, to demonstrate the fact you should consider 9 out of 10 games we play here are Stableford, whereas you you almost solely play medal. Neither is right or wrong, it's just different  I'm trying to avoid swearing here. Once again, and for the 1000th time, I understand the system, I just don't agree with it. Is there anything wrong with that? PS, I do not have the time or patience to post my results, especially as they prove nothing  That's because 99% of the posters are Yanks
