### 5/5 — Easy Strokes Gained

*2026-06-13*

I have never tracked strokes gained because it’s such a pain on other apps. But boy this app makes it SO EASY! And it was so fast to set this up on the first tee. Took literally 3 clicks and boom I was ready to go.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.22 — 2026-08-25

Skins that pay the right people
• Skins no longer quietly demand a birdie-or-better on a new event — the bar is whatever you set, and nothing else.
• Team skins now honour the same thresholds, plus Canadian (a tied net hole goes to the low gross).
• A player who withdraws or is disqualified stops paying into pots they can't win, so the pot is the real money on the line.
• Member events can run skins round by round, including "validated" skins — win the hole, then back it up on the next one to keep it.
• Boards show the pot that actually pays.

Leagues
• Standings, Schedule and Members each get their own place, and the commissioner can see the money before it moves.
• A round remembers its field, can be just for fun, and the tee sheet and the event stop drifting apart.
• Print the whole league, run the roster, and settle tells the truth — no points without play.

Picking teams
• One drag-and-tap team picker everywhere teams are chosen, instead of seventeen that each behaved a little differently.
• Tie-break options for team Match Play and Nassau.

Stats & strokes gained
• Stats and Strokes Gained are now their own tabs on a profile, open to everyone.
• Your stat preset sticks instead of reverting.
• Distances measure from where the shot was actually struck — including your own tee, not the tips.

Money games
• The Banker hole card reads like a receipt, and the balance grid shows what each hole was worth.
• The Nassau press hole picker stays open while you use it.

Rounds & setup
• A quick round can tee off on any hole and say what that makes the front nine.
• Trips get the compact round-setup page, and the Start/Continue bounce is fixed.
• Co-managers for a trip, on the trip's own settings.

Plus a multitude of improvements and fixes throughout the app.

### 1.21 — 2026-08-22

• A new Play button, front and center — one tap to start or join a round.
• Faster first-tee joins: scan the scorecard QR and you're in.
• Clearer messages when a photo or file won't attach.
• Bug fixes and polish throughout.

### 1.20 — 2026-08-15

GPS & shot tracking
• A full hole log: drop a mark for every shot, move it, name the club, and log putts and penalties — your stats fill themselves in.
• Marking the tee box makes the tee shot a measured shot instead of a guess.
• Aim runs down the hole's play line, so a dogleg starts you in the fairway rather than through the trees.
• Partly-mapped courses fill their gaps instead of being written off as "no GPS here".

Voice scoring
• Say the score and it lands on the card — no confirm sheet, one red/green button.
• Real mic feedback, and tap-or-hold to capture.

Cups & team events
• Nine-hole segments: a cup can play a different game on each nine, and re-pair partners at the turn.
• Handicap allocation is a per-cup setting, with per-player seats for shared-ball formats.

Match play
• One match row everywhere — cards, event home, boards and cups all read the same.
• A press names its own hole, not just the one you are standing on.

Your club
• A club's crest and colours carry through match rows, rounds and dropdowns.

Club Assistant
• Drop in a doc, a spreadsheet or a PDF and ask about it.

Setup & admin
• Re-flight a team after the draw exists.
• A single-group round holds six players, at every door.
• Start over offers to clear the scores in its way.

Plus a multitude of improvements and fixes throughout the app.

### 1.19 — 2026-08-06

Home club
• Locker rooms and profiles now set a home CLUB, not just a course. A club with several courses is one pick — choose WaterSound Club instead of hunting for Camp Creek, Shark's Tooth or The Third.

Money
• The join page tells you what an event costs before you commit, and lets you decline the optional pots.
• Entry fees, skins and prize pools share one setup everywhere they appear.

Stats
• "Around the green" rebuilt on measured outcomes, with one-tap chip-leave entry while you score.
• Nine-hole rounds now counted correctly.

Setup & admin
• Seed your roster straight into a new member event or tournament.
• Flights: correct order, move a whole team, delete a flight.
• Settings reorganized into sections, and you can change your account email.

Plus a multitude of improvements and fixes throughout the app.

### 1.18 — 2026-07-29

Faster scoring, better games, and a smoother round:

• New games & formats — play Match Play with stakes and presses, run a full Individual Banker (birdie doubles and all), or score a Shamble. Cleaner Nassau scoring, too.
• Order of Merit — follow a season-style points race across every round of a trip.
• Quicker round setup — a redesigned flow to add players, pick your games, and tee off in seconds.
• Sharper leaderboards — color-coded scores at a glance and a cleaner live board.
• Jump in faster — a "I have a code" quick sign-in, and shared or scanned HardFore links now open straight in the app.
• Loads of polish and reliability fixes throughout.

Thanks for playing with HardFore!
