Front Nine: Score Keeper

Front Nine keeps score for Play Nine, the golf card game, hole after hole. No more pencil and scorecard, no mental math: tap each player’s eight cards and the app counts the pairs, the −5s and the bonuses, by the rulebook. ADD THE PLAYERS From 2 to 6 players, as in the rules, in order around the table. Your regulars are one tap away. WHO DEALS? Everyone draws a card and the lowest deals; ties draw again. The app does the draw, or you choose. Then the deal passes left, and the app tells you who tees off. TAP THE CARDS, WE DO THE MATH Enter each player’s eight cards as they lie on the table. A matched pair in a column cancels out, two −5s in a column score −10, and matched pairs of the same value anywhere in the layout earn a bonus: −10 for two pairs, −15 for three, −20 for four. The app won’t accept more copies of a card than the deck holds. Rather type the total? That works too. THE SCORECARD Who’s leading and by how much, every player’s score on every hole, who deals next. A wrong entry can be fixed at any time, and players can join or leave mid-game. TIED AFTER 9 HOLES? Play a sudden-death playoff hole between the tied players, or share the win. THE GAME ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN Hole, dealer, leader and play time show on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, no unlocking needed. THE WINNER IN THE SPOTLIGHT A big winner’s card and confetti, then the final standings and the whole scorecard, hole by hole. SHARE THE GAME Once the game is over, a QR code or a link adds it to the other players’ Front Nine. No account, nothing stored online. FRONT NINE+ The all-time leaderboard (wins, average, consistency, holes won, clubhouse titles) and a profile for every player (form, head-to-heads, best hole, best round, biggest win) are unlocked with a one-time purchase, no subscription, shared with your family. Everything else is free. YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU No account, no ads, no data collected. Everything stays on your iPhone. Dark and light mode. Front Nine follows the rules of the Play Nine card game.
