## What is Golf Bank App?

Bank is a golf betting game that is a series of one-hole matches between a player designated as the bank and all other players in the group. Every hole is a new game with the same or different banker, depending on the outcome of the previous hole. On the first hole, a player is designated as the banker by a random selection, such as flipping a tee. The banker then has a match for one hole against all other players in the group. The default value for each match bet is $1, this can be adjusted to any agreeable amount amongst the group. The Banker for the next hole is determined by the player with the lowest score on the previous hole. If there is a tie in scores, the banker is the first one in the hole (i.e. the player with the longest putt).

While the concept of the game is relatively simple, there are multiple complications when scoring all the different bets and handicap adjustments. Thus the reason for the Golf Bank App. The Bank App keeps track of all the bets, scores, presses, and handicap allowances to provide a simple interface to score the results, enjoy the game and rub the losses in your buddies' faces.

The summary detail email should now include data from all teams, not just the one sending the email.

### 1.2.24.153 — 2026-03-14

Fixed a bug with the 'Ambrose' setting for players.
Modified the summary reports to enhance the format and description of the results to convey the information in a more readable structure.
Added a Net Summary table that provides details on all team and player totals that easily identifies win/loss values for all players.

### 1.2.23.142 — 2026-01-19

Added an option for an Admin to create Multiple Team Games, allows for setting up the team players, assigning tees and starting date for the game.
Users can change the tee for any player from the Score Screen - this avoids having to go back to the setup screen for a simple change of tee assignment.
Added a player property (i.e. Ambrose) that will automatically select a press in the Bank Game if the player gets a stroke from the Bank.
Added new options for adding courses to the platform with a Rapid Entry Model that simplifies the process of adding course details. This also includes the option to 'Paste' data from the clipboard.
Added an optional Handicap Allowance for 2-man games. USGA recommends an 85% reduction in handicaps when playing 2-man Best Ball formats.

 - Team Summaries show the handicaps for all teams, not just the ones in the users device
 - Best Ball scores needed per hole would sometimes be shifted down (i.e. array was 0-based instead of 1-based)
 - Issues with improper scoring of net scores in 2-man game pairings

### 1.1.20.130 — 2025-10-28
