The usual society day

  • Someone adds up 40 scorecards in the bar while everyone waits
  • A spreadsheet nobody else can work
  • Arguments over a total, and no way to settle it

  • Nothing to look at all afternoon

Whatever shape your day is

The annual day, the tour, the grudge match. Set the format once and the scoring, the shots and the board look after themselves.

The classic

One-off society day

Stableford or strokeplay, individual or in teams - 4BBB, Bowmaker, Texas Scramble, Greensomes - with spot prizes on the par threes and a Two's sweep if you run one.

  • Correct handicap allowances for every format, and R&A countback for the ties
  • Nearest the pin, longest drive and nearest in two, revealed when you're ready
  • Hold the top five back for the prize giving if you like a surprise
Two teams, one trophy

Ryder Cup style

Fourballs in the morning and singles in the afternoon, or a whole weekend of it. Every match is scored hole by hole from the players' phones, and the points add up across the rounds on the TV all day.

  • Singles, four-ball and foursomes matches - shots off the lowest handicap, as the rules say
  • The draw comes straight off the tee sheet, or let it pair the teams for you
  • "Somerset 6, Bristol 4, eight matches still out" - live, with the projected finish
The tour

Multi-day events

Two or three rounds, each its own competition with its own board, plus an overall that adds everyone's points across the days. A 36-hole day is simply two rounds. Different course each day if you like.

Head to head

Matchplay, with a Stableford alongside

A singles or four-ball matchplay day where the Stableford runs off the very same scores, so the players enter one card and get both results. Handy when the match matters but the sweep still needs settling.

What your day looks like

Taken off the board itself. It pages through the whole field on its own, so everyone sees their name come round.

Live leaderboard on a clubhouse TV: the field in Stableford points, the course map, the Two's list and the spot prizes with hole flyover videos
A society day mid-afternoon: the field, the Two's, and the spot prizes with the flyover of each hole playing behind.
Ryder Cup style leaderboard: twelve singles matches shown hole by hole, the team totals, the projected result and the overall score across both days
Day two of a Ryder Cup weekend: every match hole by hole, the projected finish, and the overall across both days.

On every phone as well as the big screen

Players scan the code on their start sheet and enter the group's scores as they go. No app to download, no account to make. Everyone else scans the board to follow along.

Two phone screens: a group's scorecard being filled in hole by hole, and the live leaderboard as the guests see it
Left: the marker's phone on the 12th. Right: the live board for everyone else.

Everything the day needs

Live TV leaderboard

Fullscreen on any TV with a browser - a laptop and an HDMI lead will do - updating itself all afternoon, with a QR code so every guest can follow on their phone.

Video on the board

Hole flyovers play behind the spot prizes. Film every guest's tee shot on the first and the clips play back to back on the board all afternoon, each with the player's name. When nothing's playing, the course map is.

Phone scoring, no app

One code per group, printed on the start sheet. Scores land on the board within seconds, and players can go back and correct a wrong number before they hand the card in.

Try it yourself

Scoring that adds up

Playing handicaps from the course's slope and rating, the right allowance for the format, matchplay shots off the lowest player, and countback the way the rules say.

Tee sheets and printing

Tee times or a shotgun start, a printed start sheet with the scoring codes on it, and a results sheet to hand the organiser at the end.

Any course

Tell us the course at checkout and it's set up with its par, stroke indexes and ratings before you log in. If it's one we haven't seen, we add it.

How it works

You're organising a golf day, not a computer system. Four steps and you're done.

2

Give your society name, date and course at checkout.

3

Your login arrives by email straight away.

4

Add your players, print the tee sheet, play.

What it costs

One payment for the day itself. Priced by how many are playing, and the login stays open for two weeks afterwards to print and share the results.

Running a Ryder Cup weekend or a tour? Each round is its own day, so book one package per round - or ask us and we'll put the whole trip together for you. More than 80 players, or a charity day? Get in touch and we'll sort something out.

Good to know

Do the players need an app?

No. The start sheet carries a code and a QR for each group; the marker scans it and types the scores into a web page. Nothing to install, no accounts, works on any phone. If you'd rather, one person can enter everything from a laptop.

What do we need at the clubhouse?

A TV with a web browser, or any TV with a laptop plugged in, and the club's wifi. Open the leaderboard link, press the fullscreen button, and leave it. It looks after itself all day.

Which courses does it work at?

Any course. The board needs the course card - par, stroke indexes, slope and course rating - and you tell us the course when you book. Most are already in the library; one we haven't seen is checked by a person and added before your day.

Can we hold the result back for the prize giving?

Yes. Hide the top five until you're ready, or freeze the board after a chosen hole so the room can watch without knowing the winner. Spot prize winners can be held back the same way.

We're playing at a club that already uses Platinum Golf

Ask them first - many include the full package as part of your day, with their own hole flyovers on the board.
