The Nineteenth — Social Golf Competitions and leagues Made Simple Create and manage golf competitions with your mates in minutes. Whether it's a weekend four-ball or a 20-player league across multiple courses, The Nineteenth handles the organising so you can focus on your game. CREATE COMPETITIONS IN MINUTES Set up multi-round competitions with a simple 4-step wizard. Choose your course, game type, and players — then share an invite code and you're away. SCORE ON THE COURSE Enter scores hole-by-hole for your entire group from one device. Large touch targets and swipe navigation make it easy to score while you play. Works fully offline — scores save locally and sync automatically when you're back online. MULTIPLE GAME TYPES Play Stableford, Stroke Play, Match Play, or team formats like Best Ball, Scramble, and Shamble. Handicap-adjusted scoring is calculated automatically. SMART PLAYER PAIRING Automatic pairing rotates partners each round and balances skill levels across groups. Or set your own pairings manually. LIVE LEADERBOARDS See standings update in real time as scores come in. Leaderboards support net and gross scoring with proper tie-breakers. INTERNATIONAL LEAGUES Create cross-course leagues where players compete regardless of which course they play. Rankings use WHS handicap differentials — your best 8 from your last 20 rounds — so every course counts fairly. SIDE-GAMES Add Skins or Wolf to any round for an extra layer of competition. Configure pots, track results, and settle up with automatic payout calculations. COURSES Search over 42,000 golf courses worldwide with full hole-by-hole data including pars, stroke indexes, tee ratings, and GPS coordinates. FRIENDS & STATS Add friends, compare stats, and track your performance across competitions. View detailed statistics including putts, fairways hit, greens in regulation, and scoring trends. BUILT FOR AUSTRALIAN GOLF Designed for social golf groups in Australia with proper date formats, terminology, and support for Golf Australia handicaps.

COMPETITIONS, REDESIGNED • A cleaner competition screen with a new standings board, an at-a-glance scoring and format summary, and organiser actions gathered into one place. • Switch the standings between individual and team without leaving the leaderboard. • A retuned colour palette across competitions, in both light and dark mode. NEW ORGANISER CONTROLS • Visibility — choose who can find and join your competition. • Guests — allow players without an account to be added to your competition. • Notifications — turn round reminders and results summaries on or off per competition. FIND YOUR ROUNDS FASTER • The Rounds tab replaces Activity, and now lists your competition rounds alongside your social ones. Compete is now Comps. • Rounds that were never played move into Recent Rounds instead of sitting in your upcoming list. MORE ACCURATE HANDICAPS • Score differentials now use the World Handicap System's adjusted gross score, capping every hole at net double bogey — so one blow-up hole no longer distorts your index. • Fixed a case where a scorecard with no scores could corrupt your handicap index. FIXES & POLISH • Fixed a navigation loop when opening a competition round from the Rounds tab, Home or a notification. • The sync warning no longer appears on rounds that synced fine, and failed uploads can be retried or discarded. • Upgrade prompts no longer appear off-screen on Handicap History, Achievement Leaders and Compare Stats. • A more compact handicap card on Home, which you can now dismiss. ### 1.13.7 — 2026-07-21 What's New in v1.13.7 Bug fixes for on-course scoring - Score syncing & submission — Fixed an issue where a "scorecards changed on another device" warning could appear while scoring, blocking your scores from uploading and your round from being submitted. Scores now sync reliably, and rounds that were previously stuck at "Submission Failed" can now be submitted. - 9-hole match play — Fixed a bug where leaving and returning to a 9-hole match play round would reload it as an 18-hole match and prevent you from submitting your score. Nine-hole matches now stay nine holes. ### 1.13.6 — 2026-07-15 What’s New in 1.13.6 • Joined competitions now appear correctly • Fixed handicap strokes on the Contributions leaderboard • Improved offline syncing, subscription handling, and overall reliability ### 1.13.5 — 2026-07-14 Team competitions & leaderboards - New Ryder Cup–style head-to-head scoreboard for two-team competitions, with per-round breakdown (only shows for genuinely two-team comps) - Team competitions now default to the Team leaderboard sub-tab, and the Compete screen shows the winning team - Sub-match tally now scales by the configured per-match points, and shows those points in the header - Round headers show the per-round points / dinner-bet badge; rounds are numbered by their display order - Net sub-match rows (e.g. Alt Shot) now list the players in each match; fixed round-header title/pills overflowing off-screen Match play scoring fixes - Finalised match-play results now exactly match the live tally — sub-matches are recomputed from scores at submission (fixes stale/incorrect final results) - Team points now persist correctly for singles match play; points editor correctly writes and migrates split-round points - Match margins standardised to a consistent format (A/S, 3&2, 2 UP) Handicaps & scoring - Fixed 9-hole daily handicap being inflated at score entry - Pickups are now consistently excluded from gross score distributions (stats, achievements) and handled correctly in alt-shot contribution derivation Home, stats & UI - "Continue scoring" no longer shows competition rounds you've personally finished - My Stats overview cards are now tappable (jump to filtered round lists) and the competition-round count is accurate - Drag-to-reorder rounds now live-shifts sibling cards as you drag - Larger distance-to-pin badge on the scoring header; practice scorecards with multiple balls now render every ball - Avatar colours: violet replaced with yellow, orange hue corrected - Fixed a back-navigation loop between a round and its competition after submitting ### 1.13.4 — 2026-07-08 What's New - Minor stat updates - Competition/view round back link bug fix - Profile avatar colour updates ## Apps similar to The Nineteenth Golf | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Hockey Vic](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/hockey-vic/id6541758955) | — | Free | Sports | | [Spectate: Live Sports & News](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/spectate-live-sports-and-news/id6753730609) | 4.0 (4) | Free | Sports | | [Keeper - Draft Fantasy AFL](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/keeper-draft-fantasy-afl/id6736832397) | — | Free | Sports | | [GameDay App](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/gameday-app/id6770797849) | — | Free | Sports | | [Clubhouse - Golf Stats GPS](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/clubhouse-golf-stats-gps/id1499651190) | — | Free | Sports | | [Maroochy River Golf Club](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/maroochy-river-golf-club/id1067733361) | — | Free | Sports | --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
