A Main Event is the main outing format — large group, A/B team pairings, Canadian skins, optional group side games, and GHIN posting. Tap Main Event → + New to create one.
After saving, you land on the Teams page. Review A/B pairings and re-arrange if needed, then tap Create Groups to split players into playing groups (4 players per group is standard). Once groups are created the game status changes to Active and scoring can begin.
The two group shortcut buttons at the top of the leaderboard jump directly to the score entry page for each group — handy quick-access during play.
Tap Enter Scores from the leaderboard. You'll see every group with each player's hole-completion badge (e.g. "9/18"). Tap Enter Scores for your group to open the scoring page.
Each playing group can run its own side game independently of the Main Event competition. Tap + Side Game on the group scoring page to set it up. Options: Nassau, Sixes, Nines, or None.
When Nassau is active, the scorecard gains a match-score row below the player rows. Each column shows the running match status from the leading team's perspective. Below the grid, a Nassau summary card shows Front / Back / Overall result, active presses, and per-player dollar totals.
Enable PGA pro add-on game on the Main Event setup form to run a PGA pick'em alongside the regular game. Set a per-player PGA Entry fee.
Tap Stand Alone Side Game on the home screen. This is for smaller games (2–4 players) run independently — not inside a Main Event.
Game types:
Players:
After all 18 holes, the settle page breaks down every segment, all presses, all junk events by hole, and the final per-player net. Tap Mark Round Complete to archive it.

The app connects to the USGA GHIN API throughout for player lookups, handicap retrieval, course data, and score posting.
Course Handicap = Handicap Index × (Slope / 113) + (Course Rating − Par). The app computes this automatically when slope and rating are filled. Playing Handicap = Course Handicap × Allowance (85% or 100%), optionally capped at 18.
Found at Main Event → 🔑 GHIN Auto-Post. Completely optional — if you add your GHIN login here, your scores will be posted to GHIN automatically when a game is marked complete, so you don't need to open the GHIN app afterward.
On any completed Main Event leaderboard, the Post to GHIN button appears. Clicking it posts scores for all players who have credentials saved (and for the app's built-in Preserve account).
Found at Main Event → ✅ Posting Check. Queries GHIN for recent scores to verify each player's score from the last 7 days was actually posted, with the right tees and course. Shows a badge: Posted, Wrong tees, Wrong course, or Not posted. Useful after a game to confirm everyone's handicap was updated.
Found at Main Event → 👤 Individual Data. Tracks each player's scoring history across all completed Main Event rounds.
For completed Main Event rounds in the list, tap Add Data (or Edit) to enter detailed shot data per hole: fairway hit, GIR, putts, drive direction, approach direction, from bunker, penalties. This data powers the Shot Stats tiles and penalty-by-hole chart.
Players can set a personal PIN on their individual stats page to protect the Log Round and Edit Data buttons. Enter the PIN once per session.
Tap the Compare button on any player's page, or use the Compare two players section on the Individual Stats landing page. Select two players and optionally a date range to see:

The app uses a lightweight PIN system. Anyone can create a game by choosing any PIN they like — there's no account or login required. The PIN only protects management/editing actions after creation.
Everyone signs in with the email address the group has for them: enter it, then type the 6-digit code we email you. Your phone then stays signed in. Can't get in (no email on file, or the mail never arrives)? Use "Trouble signing in?" on the sign-in page, and a group admin will help you.
A floating ⛳ green button appears during active rounds played at The Preserve at Jordan Lake. Tap it to use GPS to determine whether your ball is in the fairway, rough, or OB based on course boundary data.

When a Nassau side game is active, the group scorecard adds a row below the player rows showing the current match score from the leading team's perspective for each hole. Values: positive number = up by that many, negative = down, 0 = all square. Multiple values separated by spaces indicate the main bet followed by active presses.
