PAR-LAY is a tracker for friendly side wagers between golfers — like Splitwise for the gentlemen's bets your foursome already makes. Add your crew, plug in their handicaps, and PAR-LAY helps you write up clean handicap-based lines for the round. After everyone tees off and finishes the round in real life, enter the final scores and PAR-LAY tallies who owes who. All settlement happens between friends, outside the app. It's a notepad for the bets your group already makes. Nothing more, nothing less. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Set up a match in under a minute. Pick from 9 formats: Stroke Play, Best Ball, Match Play, Skins, 4-Ball, Vegas, Wolf, Captain, and Scramble. • Add your players. Their handicaps drive the lines. • Log handicap-based lines for each player or team — keep everyone on the same page about who's giving strokes to who. • Make matches public so anyone in your group can join, or private and invite-only for your regular foursome. • Team play with auto-calculated team totals. • Approval system: when someone joins, both sides agree to the line. • Enter final scores when the round wraps. PAR-LAY does the math and shows the running tally. WHO IT'S FOR Golfers who already have friendly stakes on every round and want a clean way to track them. The friend group that argues about strokes every Saturday morning. Anyone who's ever scribbled tallies on the back of a scorecard. NO REAL MONEY PAR-LAY does not process, hold, or pay out any real currency. All amounts shown are virtual credits that you and your friends settle in person, outside the app. PAR-LAY is a tracking tool only. ONE-TIME PURCHASE $2.99 to download. No subscriptions. No ads. No in-app purchases. Buy once, use it forever with your group. Built by a golfer who got tired of doing the math.
