## What is FairwayDuel?

FairwayDuel is the easiest way to score a round of golf with your group — whether you're playing a Saturday foursome, running a member-guest tournament, or organizing a season-long league.

Every score syncs across every player's phone in real time, so the whole group — and anyone watching from the clubhouse — sees the same live scorecard and leaderboard.

LIVE SCORING THAT FEELS LIKE A PAPER SCORECARD
- Hole-by-hole entry with a familiar +/− and tap-for-par picker
- Built for every golfer — large tap targets, no swipe gymnastics, and full support for iOS large text sizes
- Start scoring at the first tee even with no service — join with your code, score away, and everything syncs when you're back in coverage
- Your group's phones stay on the same hole automatically as you play
- Spectators follow along live in any browser with a shareable code — no app required

TOURNAMENTS, LEAGUES & CUPS
- Open stroke-play events, flighted member-guests, Captain & Crew scrambles, and two-side team cup events with match-by-match points
- Shotgun starts, morning and afternoon waves, and front- or back-nine rounds
- Season-long leagues with weekly matchups and live standings
- Organizers set everything up at fairwayduel.com — invite players, build the schedule, and print scorecards with per-foursome QR codes and join codes
- On game day, players scan or type a code and start scoring instantly — no account needed
- Live leaderboards refresh as scores roll in, plus a broadcast-style clubhouse-TV view with auto-fitting leaderboards, first-tee player introductions, sponsor billboards, and a results ticker

EVERY FORMAT YOUR GROUP PLAYS
- Casual rounds: Nassau, Match Play, Skins, Stroke Play, and Best Ball
- Team play for up to 8 players across multiple teams
- On-course bonuses (greenies, sandies, birdies, barkies) and presses
- Tournaments add Captain & Crew scramble for 2–6 player teams and field-wide skins

HANDICAPS BUILT IN
Enter your handicap once and every net score, stroke allocation, and team handicap is worked out for you — course and slope aware, with proper nine-hole handling. Updating it takes two taps.

FRIENDLY SIDE GAMES, NEATLY SETTLED
If your group plays for small friendly stakes, FairwayDuel does the math at the end of the round and shows who owes whom — based on the rules your group agreed on. It's a scorekeeping calculator, not a sportsbook: FairwayDuel never collects money, holds funds, or takes a cut. Any settlement is strictly between the players, in the payment app of their choice.

PRIVACY-FIRST
No ads. No cross-app tracking. We don't sell your information. Your scores and matches are visible only to the players in your group and to spectators you share a code with.

FairwayDuel is free to use. Built by a golfer at Binghamton Country Club for the Saturday game he plays every week.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-07-14

New in this version:

  fills up, wraps up, or has everyone's scores in. Plus a friendly
  nudge if you're mid-round and haven't entered a score in a while.

  name fields, and entering your info during sign-in and match setup
  is quicker and cleaner.

  to tell apart at a glance, you can now change your password in
  Settings, and we've improved stability and squashed bugs throughout.
