## What is PAR?

PAR-LAY is a tracker for friendly side wagers between golfers — like Splitwise for the gentlemen's bets your foursome already makes.

Add your crew, plug in their handicaps, and PAR-LAY helps you write up clean handicap-based lines for the round. After everyone tees off and finishes the round in real life, enter the final scores and PAR-LAY tallies who owes who. All settlement happens between friends, outside the app.

It's a notepad for the bets your group already makes. Nothing more, nothing less.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

• Set up a match in under a minute. Pick from 9 formats: Stroke Play, Best Ball, Match Play, Skins, 4-Ball, Vegas, Wolf, Captain, and Scramble.
• Add your players. Their handicaps drive the lines.
• Log handicap-based lines for each player or team — keep everyone on the same page about who's giving strokes to who.
• Make matches public so anyone in your group can join, or private and invite-only for your regular foursome.
• Team play with auto-calculated team totals.
• Approval system: when someone joins, both sides agree to the line.
• Enter final scores when the round wraps. PAR-LAY does the math and shows the running tally.

WHO IT'S FOR

Golfers who already have friendly stakes on every round and want a clean way to track them. The friend group that argues about strokes every Saturday morning. Anyone who's ever scribbled tallies on the back of a scorecard.

NO REAL MONEY

PAR-LAY does not process, hold, or pay out any real currency. All amounts shown are virtual credits that you and your friends settle in person, outside the app. PAR-LAY is a tracking tool only.
