Getting started
What courses are supported?
+
2,000+ Australian courses at launch — every recognisable name plus most muni layouts. Course data combines a commercial scorecard dataset with OpenStreetMap polygons. US courses are available on request as we expand.
Do I need a handicap to use it?
+
No. You can play casual rounds and let the app calculate one for you over time, or import an existing handicap if you have one.
When is the Android version coming?
+
After iOS stabilises post-launch. We'd rather ship one platform properly than two of them badly. Sign up to be told when Android lands.
Is there an Apple Watch app?
+
On the roadmap, not in v1. Basic scoring + GPS on the watch is planned for the first major update.
Societies and trips
Can I run our society's order of merit on it?
+
Yes — that's exactly what the Society OS is for. Configurable points weighting, dropped scores, double-points away days, captain's prize. You can also bring across last year's OoM via CSV import.
How does captain handover work?
+
The current captain transfers the role at year-end. Fixture templates and OoM config carry over. The new captain can edit settings without losing history.
How do trip splits work?
+
One ledger per trip. Anyone in the trip can log an expense; per-person overrides handle the bloke who didn't drink or the mate who only came for one day. Settlement is a PayID / Osko deep-link straight to your bank.
Scoring and side bets
How do side bets settle?
+
Via a PayID/Osko deep-link from your bank. Bogey Mates never holds funds and takes no cut on settlement. Nassau, skins, match play and prop bets all auto-net at the end of the round so you only settle once.
Can scores be edited after the round?
+
Casual rounds — yes. Competition rounds — only by the marker or with captain approval, and edits are logged. Score integrity matters when the order of merit is on the line.
Does it support match play and modified scoring?
+
Yes. Stroke, stableford, match play, modified stableford, par-better-or-worse, four-ball, foursomes, ambrose. The full list of formats your group already plays.
Pricing and privacy
What's actually free?
+
Personal handicap, scoring, GPS, friends, leaderboards, spectator share, course library. Everything you need for casual rounds. Pro unlocks society, trip, side-bet tracker, advanced stats, unlimited tournaments.
Can I cancel Pro?
+
Anytime, from the App Store. You keep Pro until the end of the period you paid for, then drop back to the free tier with all your data intact.
Is my data private?
+
Yes. Hosted on Supabase with row-level security enforced. No third-party data sale. No advertising network. Spectator URLs only show what you choose to share.
