"I admit I was skeptical, but ParPoints is a blast!" – Alan Shipnuck / Fire Pit Collective Join the new golf scoring revolution, where you choose the position on each hole you think you can score par from and score points when you shoot par or better. There are no penalties for bogeys or worse, so you can enjoy more of the shots that keep you coming back to the course—and less of the shots that make you want to throw your clubs in the river. "ParPoints is one of the most exciting golf ideas to come along in a long time." – Randy Syring / PGA Pro Set personal records, earn bag tags for special accomplishments, and compete against your friends with live group scoring. With access to over 38,000 courses around the world, load up ParPoints and head to your favorite course today, and play with anyone on any other course in real time, with a shared leaderboard. "I live in California, and I had to come all the way to the middle of Kansas to discover the most exciting thing going on in golf." – Chuck Mowrey / California golf enthusiast Looking to improve your game?
