ParTab keeps score for your whole group and handles everything that usually gets argued about afterwards. Score the round for everyone on one card. Real scorecards for real courses, with pars, stroke index and yardages already filled in, so you're not typing them at the first tee. SIDE GAMES, SCORED FOR YOU Pick the games your group plays and ParTab does the maths hole by hole. Banker, Wolf, Skins, Nassau with presses, Match Play, 6-6-6, Best Ball, Bingo Bango Bongo, High-Low, Chicago, Stableford, Scramble, Low Gross and Low Net. Every game keeps a running ledger, so at any point in the round you can see exactly where you stand. No one has to remember what happened on the seventh, and nobody's doing arithmetic in the car park. Skins can be played birdies-or-better, where only a birdie takes the hole — and you only write down the birdies. 6-6-6 can double the stake when someone makes a birdie in a six-hole stretch, and triple it for an eagle. HOLE MAPS AND YARDAGES Every hole drawn from real course data, with distances to the front, middle and back of the green updating as you walk. Switch to satellite view when you want to see what you're actually hitting over. COMPETITIONS Run an event across as many groups as you like. Everyone scores their own card, and the leaderboard updates as scores come in. Nine holes or eighteen, one day or several, with handicaps applied automatically and payouts worked out for you. Invite players by text or email, or share a code. Anyone can follow the leaderboard live, whether they're playing or watching from home. YOUR GOLF, RECORDED Every round is saved. Scoring average, best round, birdies, eagles, how you've played each course, and how you've done against the people you play with. Finished competitions are kept with their final standings. Sign in and your rounds follow you to any device, and to golfpartab.com. BUILT FOR THE COURSE Works with one hand, in bright sun, with a glove on. Big numbers, few taps. Your round is saved as you go, so nothing is lost if your phone rings or the battery gives up. ParTab tracks what your group is playing for so everyone agrees at the end. No money is handled by the app — settling up stays between you and your playing partners, the way it always has.

ParTab also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). The Flying Pickle's advantage is ratings volume (141 vs 7). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
