I need help
Response from developer
Gary - You've probably already found the answer, but for the record: o Set up hole handicaps (or pars) as most commonly shown on the printed scorecard. o Review the hole handicaps (pars) on each tee that need to be changed and remove them (select, delete, tab and repeat). o Return to the now missing entries on each tee and enter your new handicap or par values.

Great scoring app for our annual golf trip
Response from developer
Thanks ChrisS8888! Since The Scoring Machine can use ALL the data from the printed scorecard, there is some new-course setup effort. You can however, enter the gross hole-by-hole scores of 16 players in about 288 keystrokes, so there's time for settling up, lunch, and another round! Good golf.
Could be good, but not there yet.

Thanks for your input, and you're right that The Scoring Machine doesn't aggregate multiple-day Events. It wasn't designed to do so. It is most frequently used by solo golfers and smaller groups, but handles the big ones too. Mulligan's Eagle, for macOS, can use The Scoring Machine as an on-course component to retrieve scores, and it has spreadsheet export capabilities to help your multi-day scoring tasks.
Impressive Product
Quick and simple
Very few courses installed

All of our scoring software needs the best current information about the courses you're going to play - yardage, par, hole handicaps (and maybe name) for every hole, Course and Slope Ratings for every tee, for both genders if you plan to score for them. All of that is on the printed scorecard you get from your pro shop, and you can put all that information onboard The Scoring Machine in about 15 minutes - one time. If that doesn't work for you, we'll even do it for you. There are about 35,000 golf courses worldwide. It's simply impossible to accumulate all the information needed - which is consolidated nowhere else - for everyone's home course. The app provides access to our online archive of thousands of courses around the world - information provided most graciously by our customers - that can be downloaded in seconds. If your course isn't in the archives, you can make it so just by providing us (at support@mulligansoftware.com) a front and back picture of your scorecard, showing all the information and those ratings, and we'll put it online for you. But you never contacted us, nor seem to have used the built-in onboard Help to get started setting up your own course. We appreciate your business, and if you'd like some assistance, you simply need to ask.

Really like the layout
I would really like to play holes , for example a high low game bet score with partners
Is this possible?
Great Service
Could be better

ChasLee! - The Scoring Machine needs EVERYTHING that appears on the scorecard for the courses you play - yardages, pars, hole handicaps, course ratings, slope ratings for both genders, for 9 or 18 holes. Those other apps don’t, and all that data is NOT readily available, so we make it easy: • a thousand or more full scorecards available to download from our archives • simple, fast features to input your course data yourself- maybe 10 minutes work • an option for you to take a photo of your scorecard and send it to us - we’ll do the work and share it with the world You can always reach us at our support address and we can help - with anything - try us. Thanks for your support!

Super software product
Save your scores elsewhere...
I was putting new courses and events on and the older ones (less than a year and well under the recommended number) just evaporated!
Contacted Support but they couldn’t assist.
Other than that it’s a usable programme.
DO NOT BUY! Junk

Reverendp: Sorry you aren’t happy with the match play features of The Scoring Machine. There’s a Match Play display accessible from the “Vs” tab at the bottom of the Scoreboard. For individual match play, tap a player’s score on the Scoreboard, and when you tap the Match Play tab, you’ll see that player’s results vs. EVERY other player on the Scorecard or in the Event. You can move any of those player’s to the “top” position to see them vs. the field too. For team match play, tap a team score on the Scoreboard, then the Match Play tab and you’ll have the same “vs. the field” results for teams. You can even share that match play display (print, social, message, email, etc.) or change match play configuration (Nassau, 18 holes, handicapping, auto presses, wager) from the same screen. Hardly “junk”! But, this is described in the onboard Help and you can always contact us for more.
Best golf games app if used out of dozens
Came up way short
Response from developer
Hustler: Sorry you're unhappy... The Scoring Machine is in wide use for lots of "boys day out" play, including fivesomes with round-robin four-ball teams on your scorecard and match play across the field of lots of scorecards. If you didn't find what you needed in the built-in help, we'd be happy to assist. First, however, you'd have to contact us!
Very Solid Scoring App
The software was pretty straightforward. We added player handicaps and then course yardage and then selected a handful of games, from Modified Stableford to Scrambles with two-best balls.
There are some glitches. First, very few courses are actually loaded. Second, when you edit a tournament, changes frequently don't save. Third, I wish the process of adding teams and scorecards was a little more straightforward. The sync between the iPad and iPhone versions through Dropbox worked the first time but not again.
That said, all agreed this was a vast improvement on the spreadsheets used previously to score games, and should be a part of every golfer's app collection.
Great app
