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.

Key details

  • 27 formats in total — Individual (8), Pairs (12), and Teams (7).
  • Supports 18-hole and 9-hole rounds, with a configurable starting hole.
  • Handicap-aware, using each tee's stroke index.
  • Live scoring handles up to four players per group.
  • League rounds and casual rounds share the same setup, scoring, and live screens — the difference is the season context around them.
  • Per-format guides (the individual rules of each of the 27 formats) are documented separately — see the format variants guide.

Technical notes

Built with Flutter/Dart. Round and course data live in Firestore, with live scoring updating in real time. All formats read from one shared Scoring Engine, so scores and standings stay consistent across the app.

  • Scoring Engine — scores every golf format.
  • Leagues — the season-based format golf is usually played in.
  • Matches — the one-off match format.
