Golf

What it does

Golf is thecomp's sport. It covers the whole arc of a golf competition (setup, groups, live hole-by-hole scoring, the leaderboard, and standings) across a wide range of formats spanning individual, pairs, and team play. Whether you run a season-long league or a single casual round, the golf experience uses the same setup, scoring, and live screens.

How it works

  1. Start a comp and pick golf as the sport.
  2. Choose a golf format (for example individual stableford, betterball, scramble, or match play).
  3. Set up the round: course and tees, starting hole, and the groups.
  4. Score the round live, hole by hole, with a live leaderboard updating as you go.
  5. Review the scorecard and round summary. In a league, the round's points roll into the season standings.
