Since it's a PDGA app and no more than 5somes are allowed in competition, it was quite a discussion to decide to include up to 6 players which is the max now. I figure if you have 8, play doubles so four team scores can be tracked. ;-)

Does this app allow you to score unlisted courses, such as tournaments with extra holes, or seasonal courses? And can you score more than 9 or 18 holes, (our home course has 21).

The max is a 52 hole(!) course. It will handle whatever is listed in the PDGA course directory and produce round ratings for those courses. You can enter custom courses such as unlisted private ones or new ones not in the directory yet although round ratings for them will not be calculated in this early version.

It works very nice compared to other apps out there. I would like to see the ability to post rounds with ratings to social media sites.

You could always take a screen shot and do it that way.

It has the option to email your round when finished.

Just used the app to log a 970 rated -8 @ Morley. Easiest scorecard app I've ever used, and shotgun start friendly. I only drove with my brand new River and putted with my brand new SS Voodoo.

Thanks Chuck!

Compared to the 3 other apps I've used,95 with the others being in the 20s or 30s. The shotgun start capability is very important to me since I always start Kit Carson on hole 6 and no other app was compatible with that desire. As Netflix infamously said, the price is about the same as a latte. Just not an Idiocracy latte.

When you tap the players name, 3 is the default score and all you need to do to change it is tap + or - for bogey or birdie or just tap next for par. I played alone so I didn't get to take advantage of the automatic order feature.

Latest upgrade V1.03 available for downloading from App store. Long course names handled better and ratings for courses with other than 18 holes now calculated more accurately.
