Features
The whole surface.
The casual scoring app you already have is fine for a round. Bogey Mates is built for the bits that matter when your group is serious about it — group management, tournaments, trips, the banter and the wagers, real competition. Here's the lot.
Group OS
Run the group properly.
- ✓ Captain role with annual handover — no more "who has the spreadsheet now?"
- ✓ Recurring fixture templates: monthly medal, away days, captain's prize, championship weekend.
- ✓ Configurable order of merit — weighted points, double-points away days, dropped scores, late-season multipliers.
- ✓ Member roster with handicaps, contact details, and dues tracking.
Tournaments
Run a proper tournament.
- ✓ Single-day or multi-round events. Stableford, stroke, match play, modified — pick the format that fits.
- ✓ Flighted draws, group brackets, KP and longest-drive markers, side games per round.
- ✓ Rolling leaderboard updates live as cards come in. Public share link so the rest of the crew can watch.
- ✓ Marker sign-off, mismatch flagging and score-edit locks — results that actually stand up.
- ✓ Unlimited tournaments on Pro. Free tier runs one active event at a time.
Trips
Plan it. Score it. Settle it.
- ✓ Build the itinerary yourself or hand it to a partner travel agent — pin courses, lock tee times, sort accommodation and transfers.
- ✓ A rolling trip leaderboard that runs across every round, every day.
- ✓ Group chat for the banter, the photos from the 17th, and the wagers placed before round two.
- ✓ One ledger for everything — accommodation, tee times, carts, food, the round of beers at the 19th. Per-person overrides for who skipped what.
- ✓ Settle the lot with a PayID / Osko deep-link straight from your bank. No processor cut, no "venmo me" awkwardness.
GPS & satellite view
Satellite GPS for every shot.
- ✓ Live distance to front, centre and back of every green over a pannable satellite view.
- ✓ Course geometry mapped as real polygons — greens, bunkers, tees, fairways and hazards — so the numbers actually match the course.
- ✓ 2,000+ Australian courses on launch. Commercial scorecard data plus OpenStreetMap polygons.
- ✓ Works offline once you've opened a course once. Sketchy regional reception isn't an issue.
Group chat
The crew, the banter, the wagers.
- ✓ Per-group chat that lives next to the scorecard — no separate WhatsApp thread to remember.
- ✓ Live leaderboard pinned to the top of the chat during a round.
- ✓ Drop a wager into the chat — Nassau, skins, prop bets — and it tracks against the scorecard, auto-netted at the end.
- ✓ Photos, gloating, the dropped-shot reaction GIFs. Threaded by round so the history doesn't disappear.
- ✓ PayID deep-link to settle the wager in two taps. No platform cut on settlement.
And the rest
The smaller things that add up.
Score integrity
Marker sign-off on every card. Mismatch flagging when scores don't agree. Score-edit locks after the round. Handicap locks for competition rounds. The infrastructure your order of merit actually needs.
Spectator share
Every round has a public spectator URL. The mates who couldn't make it, family, the WhatsApp group — they all watch the leaderboard live without installing the app.
Course search
Every recognisable Australian course plus most muni layouts — 2,000+ at launch. Recent rounds and favourites pinned. US courses available on request as we expand.
Advanced stats
Strokes gained, scoring by par/distance, putting performance, drive accuracy, scrambling. Trend lines over months and years. Pro feature — most casual players don't want this and that's fine.
Round formats
Stroke, stableford, skins, match play, best ball, scramble, ambrose, modified stableford, par-better-or-worse. Whatever your crew already plays.
Handicap
Personal handicap tracking on Pro — calculate from your scoring history, manually set, or import from an existing handicap if you have one.
