Scripture Golf is a classic LDS Sunday School trivia game. Note: This is not a golfing game. This app offers a fun way to learn and remember scriptures. Gather your friends, choose the number of rounds, and start playing! You'll be given a scripture and must guess the book and then the chapter it's from. Each wrong guess adds a point to your score. The player with the fewest points at the end wins! We've worked hard to make this app bug-free, but if you find any issues or have suggestions for future updates, please email woodruffapps@gmail.com. I'll respond as quickly as possible. We plan to continue supporting the app with more scriptures, performance enhancements, and new features.
