Team Match Play Scorecard
Multiple matches played within the same pairing group can make printing scorecards confusing and frustrating. You can now print a single scorecard showing a four-ball match and multiple singles matches on one scorecard all handicapped correctly using the new Team Play Matches Scorecard.

Enter Hole by Hole Match Play Results via Mobile App
Match Play competitions do not require scores; the golfers only need to agree on the outcome of each hole and the overall match.
Golfers can now enter hole-by-hole match results instead of hole scores in the mobile app when scoring a match play event by simply selecting the winner of each hole or marking the hole as tied.
As a manager, you can view and enter hole-by-hole match results on the Enter Scores Page. Please contact support to have this feature enabled.

Set Course & Tee in Mobile App
Many players don’t communicate their choice of tee in a timely manner. This often leads to a series of frustrating phone calls and text messages from the golfers asking to have their tee updated.
This new feature allows golfers to set the course, tee, and side directly in the mobile app for all players in the pairing group! As a manager, you can control which options golfers are allowed to set. When golfers log in, they will be able to set the allowed options before entering scores. This automatically recalculates all handicaps and the golfers see the correct information when scoring in the mobile app.
