AS IT LIES

SCORE FROM YOUR WATCH AS IT LIES is now on Apple Watch. Join the outing on your phone once and the watch follows for the whole round. - The score starts at par. Tap it right, tap Save, and the leaderboard moves in every pocket on the property. - Your full scorecard and the live leaderboard ride one swipe away, right on your wrist. - No signal by the green? The watch holds the score and sends it the moment it can. The phone stays in the bag. THE TRIP Plan the trip months before you go. One tap makes an empty trip with its own code; the crew talks in the trip's messages and pencils in days, with courses and dates staying loose until you open each one for real. - Every day feeds one trip leaderboard, and one settle at the end. - Open a penciled day and the app offers the same money game as yesterday, or none at all. SIGN UP IS THE FRONT DOOR First name, last name, email, a six digit code. No password, ever. - Joining anything takes just the code: your name is already filled in. - Your spot follows your account to any phone, and rounds played before you signed up can be claimed in one tap. RUN THE DAY FROM THE LEADERBOARD For captains: the scoring format, the money game and junk each keep a band right on the leaderboard, all day. - Arm the money game and junk while creating the outing. The field sees the stakes from the first tap. - Manage This Outing puts the state of the day on one screen, and a captain's notice is promoted on the leaderboard itself. SIMULATOR GOLF Winter rounds at the sim bay count too. Flip one switch when you create the outing and it plays in its own lane. - Sim rounds build their own Sim Handicap. Your outdoor number never mixes with bay numbers. - The SIM mark rides the leaderboard, the TV, and your history, so a bay round never passes for a course round. SPONSORS ON THE LEADERBOARD The outing's sponsors now ride the live leaderboard, presented like broadcast coverage. - The Presented by strip sits with the board on every phone. Every sponsor gets a home on the outing's public sponsors page. - On the clubhouse TV, big fields rotate, the leader stays posted, and the top sponsor takes the whole screen for a few seconds every few minutes, like a commercial break. Plus a cleaner Home and menu, and small fixes throughout, including sign-in that finds your spot again after a reinstall.
