Golf With Mates is the scorecard built for the way friends actually play golf - not the polite tournament version, but the rolling Sunday fourball where someone's playing Stableford, two of you have a tenner riding on the back nine, and nobody's quite sure who owes who from last week. Score live. Settle bets. Keep every round. WHAT IT DOES • Live, real-time scorecards — up to 4 players per group, 48 per round (perfect for society days and corporate outings) • Full USGA handicap math, baked in — no mental arithmetic on the tee box • Side bets that actually settle: skins, Nassau, Stableford, match play, best ball, scramble, foursome, Chapman, Köpenhamnare, BBB • Course database with thousands of clubs — search by name, GPS, or add your own • Offline-first scoring — keep playing when the signal drops, syncs when you're back • Lifetime stats: rounds played, gross/net averages, best 18 and best 9, score breakdown, and bet winnings split by currency • Live leaderboard you can share with mates back at the clubhouse via a single link WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Most golf scorecards are calculators with a UI. Golf With Mates is built around the social side: hosts manage rounds, friends join with a 4-letter code, and bets settle automatically based on the agreed handicap allowance. No spreadsheets. No "wait, what was Tom's net on 14?" arguments in the clubhouse.

Designed and built by golfers who got tired of paper scorecards. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.6.4 — 2026-08-12 What's new in 1.6.4 • "Share with a mate" from milestone emails — your first Eagle, 10th round and year recap now open a native share sheet so you can brag in one tap. • Mid-round handicap correction — noticed a handicap is wrong after tee-off? The host can fix it straight from the round lobby. • PGA-style scorecard marks — eagles, birdies, pars and bogeys now show as proper circles and squares, plus a tidy score distribution strip for each player. • Cleaner in-round highlights — we stopped replaying the whole stack of old toasts when you reopen an active round; only new milestones pop. • Better eagle/albatross callouts in the round summary, whatever format you played. • Smaller fixes and reliability improvements across emails, notifications and course data. ### 1.6.3 — 2026-08-10 What's new in 1.6.3 • Weekly Thursday nudge — a short, friendly heads-up every Thursday evening during the golf season (Mar–Oct) to remind you to book your weekend round. One push, no spam. • Live in-round highlights are smarter — par streaks (3+ in a row) now show correctly, and your eagle chip stays visible even if you follow it with another great hole. • Distance units follow you everywhere — set yards or meters once in Profile, and it now applies to closest-to-the-pin, longest drive and every side-bet unit too. New installs default to yards in US/UK/Canada and meters in Europe. • More reliable emails — welcome, round-complete and first-round follow-up now fire consistently thanks to a new safety net that catches and re-sends anything that slips through. • Better tee colors — added Gray as a tee color and fixed Spanish tee color labels. • Improved scorecard design • Smarter in-app nudges • Smaller fixes and polish across the course search, admin tools and background reliability. ### 1.6.2 — 2026-07-30 What's new in 1.6.2 • Friends live now — see which of your mates are currently playing a round right from the Home screen, and tap straight in to follow along. • Recently viewed live rounds — rounds you opened from a shared link or a push now have a quick-access card on Home, so you never lose track of the action. • Email/password login now plays nicely with your phone's password manager, making sign-in faster and more reliable. • Smaller fixes and polish behind the scenes. ### 1.6.1 — 2026-07-22 What's new in 1.6.1 • Mates Handicap (beta) — a personal, in-app handicap that starts from your first official HCP and refines with every qualifying round you play in the app. Opt in from Profile → Handicap. Not an official handicap under any federation — use for friendly play. • Redesigned install banner — cleaner card with the real app icon and a single-language tagline; tap anywhere to jump straight to the App Store. • Weekly Thursday tee-time nudge — a friendly push around Thursday 6pm to help you line up the weekend's round with your mates (seasonal, March–October). • Feedback bubble no longer hides behind the bottom nav on a cold start. • More reliable emails — welcome and re-engagement sends are back on track after a behind-the-scenes fix. • Smaller fixes and polish across the profile, live leaderboard, and admin tools. ### 1.6.0 — 2026-07-16 What's new in 1.6.0 • Live in-round nudges - dormy alerts, pars-in-a-row streaks and personal-best callouts appear on your scorecard as they happen. Tap to dismiss anything you don't want. • Courses near me - the course picker can now use your location to sort the closest clubs to the top. Pull down to refresh. • Tap to expand a scorecard on the live leaderboard - friends following along can see the full hole-by-hole breakdown, not just the totals. • Choose whether to notify friends when you start a round - new toggle in Profile → Notifications. • More reliable push notifications - round summary when a round locks, personal best alerts, Wolf "your turn" nudges, invite-accepted pings, plus dedupe guardrails so you never get the same alert twice. • The feedback bubble is back on every screen - tap it to send us a note anytime. • Smaller fixes and polish across the scorecard, live leaderboard and round setup. ## Related topics [start jamming with grass](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/start-jamming-with-grass) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
