## What is SideAction Saloon?

SideAction Saloon is built exclusively for golf side games. Not a GPS. Not a rangefinder. Not a handicap tracker. We cover every popular game your group actually plays for money — 17 side games plus full-group formats — and settle the whole thing at the end.   

Every side game. All the math. None of the arguments.

FOUR GAMES, ALWAYS FREE
Skins, Nassau, Sixes, and DOTS are yours at no cost — play them as much as you want. Unlock the full saloon when you're ready.

SKINS (free)
Low score wins the skin. Ties carry over. Classic, clean, and always worth watching on 18 when the pot is stacked.

NASSAU (free)
Three bets in one round: front 9, back 9, and the full 18. Down a bet? Press to open a new one. The oldest wager in golf.

DOTS (free)
Every good shot counts. Fairway? Dot. Green in regulation? Dot. One-putt? Dot. Birdie? Two dots. The fairest game for mixed-skill groups.

SIXES (free)
Built for foursomes. Partners rotate every six holes — three team matches in one round, so you play alongside everyone.

WOLF
Each hole, one player is the Wolf. Watch the tee shots, pick your partner — or go alone and double the money. Best ball decides who walks away.

WOLF SCOTCH
Eight points up for grabs every hole: low ball, low total, birdie, proximity. Win them all and trigger a BLITZ — points double. For the group that wants serious action.

BANKER
The hole winner becomes the Banker. Bet against them one-on-one, then press to double down before they tee off. One bad Banker hole can swing the round.

BINGO BANGO BONGO
Three ways to win every hole: first on the green, closest to the pin, first in the hole. Long hitters get no edge. Anyone can win anything.

NINES
Built for threesomes. Five points for first, three for second, one for third. Nine points a hole, cleanest math in golf.

HAMMER
Golf meets Texas Hold'em. Any team can hammer to double the pot — after any shot, at any time. Fold to cut your losses. Match to stay alive.

LANDMINES
Acey Deucey with a twist. Low score wins big, high score pays. Hit water, sand, a tree, or three-putt and the Rattler strikes. Every mistake counted.

VEGAS
Team up and combine your scores into one two-digit number — low ball first. Birdies flip the opponents' number and swing the total fast. Big money, big momentum.

…AND MORE
Sandies — get up-and-down from the bunker, claim the sandie. Greenies — hit the green on the par 3s. Closest to the Pin — stick it tight, take the cash. Chaos Card — draw a card each hole: stake modifiers, skill challenges, and rule twists that turn a quiet round loud.

GROUP & TOURNAMENT FORMATS
Running an outing? Play a full-group game alongside the side action: Net Stroke Play, Stableford, Match Play, Scramble, Shamble, Two-Man Best Ball, and Chapman/Pinehurst — handicap-adjusted and tracked live on one leaderboard.

RUN MULTIPLE GAMES AT ONCE
Play Skins and Hammer at the same time. Run DOTS alongside Wolf. SideAction Saloon tracks them all simultaneously. One score entry covers everything.

LIVE ROUNDS
Create a round, share the code. Your group joins from their phones. Scores update in real time across every device. Everyone sees the standings. Nobody disputes the math.

HANDICAPS BUILT IN
Toggle net scoring on any game. Enter your index once. The app does the rest.

SETTLEMENT AT THE END OR DURING THE ROUND
When the round ends, SideAction Saloon shows exactly who owes whom. No calculator. No debate. Just pay up and grab a drink.  You also have the option to end the game early and settle at any time.  

SideAction Saloon. The Side Game App.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5 — 2026-08-13

changed description slightly to be accurate.  Only change to app is we now allow groups up to 20 players (from previous 16)

### 1.4 — 2026-07-30

Freshened up our App Store listing so it's easier to see everything SideAction Saloon brings to your group's round. Same side-game action inside.

THE RIVALRY
Tap any Regular in your Game Ledger for the head-to-head receipts: who's up on whom this year and lifetime, nights won and lost, your biggest night, and which games each of you owns. Every round you've already played counts — your history is already in there.
ALSO IN THIS ROUND
• Tee and course selections now register on the first tap.
• One consistent keyboard across all four player name fields — and autocorrect keeps its hands off your buddies' names.
• The saloon tune plays once and gets out of the way.
• A clearer front door: Start New Game, Join a Game.

### 1.3 — 2026-07-17

NEW GAMES AT THE TABLE
• Match Play — head-to-head, hole by hole, with a Team Play twist: Singles, Fourball, Foursomes, or Bloodsome (alternate shot where your opponents pick which of your drives you play). Down in the match? Press.
• Vegas — partners' scores pair into one number, low team takes the difference in points. Make a birdie and your opponents' number flips. Points add up fast.

GROUP GAMES — ALL FORMATS LIVE
• Scramble/Shamble, Chapman/Pinehurst, and Two-Man Best Ball join Net Stroke Play, Match Play, and Stableford — with proper team handicap allowances built in.

A SHARPER SCORECARD CAMERA
• Snap the front 9 and back 9 as separate photos — each half fits your screen, and the app stitches the round together.
• Reads sideways photos and messy handwriting — even putts scribbled in the same box.
• Smarter about what's a player and what's just the par row.

ALSO IN THIS ROUND
• Course search now finds far more courses, with real hole-by-hole data.

### 1.2 — 2026-07-15

Added two games.  They were a bit basic in my estimation, yet people ask for them.  So, we added and put them in the free tier.

### 1.1 — 2026-07-11

Snap your scorecard — we'll settle the bets.

What's new in 1.1:

• PHOTO IMPORT — Played your round in another app or on paper? Snap a photo or pick a screenshot and we'll read the scores right in. No more entering everything twice. Works with any scoring app, paper scorecards, even PDFs.

• TOURNAMENTS — Run a whole outing across multiple foursomes. One event code, every captain joins their group, and a single combined leaderboard tracks the field live.

• LIVE SYNC — In a live round, everyone's phone now shows the same wolf picks, hammers, and dots — so every device settles the exact same numbers.

• A FRESH SALOON LOOK — A polished welcome screen, tee markers in their real colors, and a warmer feel throughout.

Grab your foursome, pick your games, and let us handle the math.
