## What is The Perch?

The Perch is the golf app for the way you actually play: with friends, with something on the line, and with a scorecard everyone can see.

SCORE EVERY ROUND
Pick a course, a tee and 18, front or back nine. Keep score hole by hole with a full scorecard, live distance to the green and a hole map. Finished already? Post a total score in seconds. Snap a photo of a paper scorecard and let the app read it for you.

PLAY THE GAMES YOU PLAY
Skins, Nassau, Wolf, match play, stroke play, scrambles and best ball, plus more than two dozen other formats. Set stakes per hole or per match, net or gross, with handicap allowances. A running ledger keeps the group square, and head-to-head records remember who owns whom.

KNOW YOUR GAME
An estimated handicap that shows exactly which rounds count, so you always know where the number comes from. Scoring average, best rounds, strokes gained, trends, streaks and badges. Import your history from other golf apps so nothing starts from zero.

YOUR FRIENDS ARE HERE
A feed of your friends' rounds, reactions and vouches. Weekly leaderboards for your group and for everyone on Perch. Groups for your regular foursome, your league or your trip.

HOST ANYTHING
Outings, member-guests, club championships, charity scrambles, multi-day trips and Ryder Cup style team events. Registration with pricing tiers and add-ons, pairings, tee times, check-in, live leaderboards, gross and net boards, printable tee sheets and results. Recurring leagues with standings, subs, dues and playoffs.

PERCH PUTT
A putting mini-game for the off hours, with friend challenges and its own leaderboards.

Perch Prime adds AI round insights, custom home and in-hole layouts, larger fields, strokes gained detail, the season ledger and app themes.

The Perch is built by golfers for the group chat, the Saturday game and the annual trip. Free to download and free to play.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-10-13

Apple Watch is here. Score every hole from your wrist: your score, putts and the game, with front, center and back yardages on a live green map. Start a round on your phone and The Perch opens on your watch by itself. Complications put the next hole and your round score on your watch face.

Siri scoring. "Hey Siri, score a 4 in The Perch" puts it on the hole you are playing; "score hole 7 in The Perch" names the hole and Siri asks how many strokes.

Your golf schedule. Add a planned round (date, tee time, course), tag the friends you are playing with, or invite by email or text from your own phone. It shows up in Next up on Home and at the top of Play, with a one-tap start on the day.

Weather on every planned round. Expected temperature, conditions, chance of rain and wind for your tee time, straight from the National Weather Service.

Share a planned round as a card: the course, the day and time, the forecast and who is in. Email and text invites carry the same card.

Team names in any team game. Name your side in Vegas, Best Ball, Four-Ball and more, when you set up the game or later in its settings. The name shows on the scoreboard and on your watch.

Home Screen widget. Your estimated handicap, last round and what is next, including your scheduled rounds and their forecast, right on the Home Screen.

Course not mapped yet? Tap Request mapping and we will map it within 48 hours.

Plus the usual round of fixes: league nights keep their real tee times, guests' estimated handicaps show in team handicaps, and dozens of smaller polish items.
