Casual / Friendly Rounds

What it does

Casual Rounds are rounds you play outside a league — a friendly fourball, a knock with mates, a quick nine. You pick a course, choose a format, add whoever's playing, and score it exactly the way a league round is scored, without any of the league setup. Anyone can start one, and others can join with a code.

How it works

  1. Start a casual round from the home screen's quick actions.
  2. Pick a course from the directory, or one you've played before.
  3. Set it up. Give the round a name and date, choose a golf format, and switch on any side games — closest to pin, longest drive, snake, twos.
  4. Add players. Add whoever's playing; they don't need to belong to a league.
  5. Play it. Score hole by hole on the live scoring screen, with the live leaderboard and scorecard right there.
  6. Share to let others join. A six-character code lets other players join the round and score alongside you.

Key details

  • No league required. A casual round stands on its own — no season, standings, fees, or fines attached.
  • Same scoring as a league round. Format choice, side games, hole-by-hole entry, the leaderboard, and the scorecard are all identical; only the league trappings are missing.
  • Ad-hoc players. Players don't have to be league members — add them just for the round.
  • Join by code. Share the round's six-character code; anyone signed in can enter it to join.
  • Up to four per group. Like any round, a group is a fourball.
  • 9 or 18 holes. Choose the holes and starting hole when you set it up.

Technical notes

Built with Flutter/Dart. A casual round is stored in Firestore and scored through the same screens as a league round, so the scores, leaderboard, and scorecard behave identically. Firebase Auth identifies who can join and score.
