Your way

Play as teams, or every golfer for themselves

Teams

Players start a team or join one with a team code. A birdie by any teammate counts for the whole team, and anyone on the team can record it.

Fairway Finders · 14 / 18 holes

Individual

Everyone plays for themselves and records their own birdies. The leaderboard shows who's furthest along.

Chris · 17 / 25 birdies

For threesomes: 9 points a hole, 5-3-1, at $ a point.

Bingo Bango Bongo
