Golf Sync is the group-chat-that-actually-golfs for your weekend foursome — and the league that grew out of it. Stop coordinating tee times in five separate text threads. Stop spreadsheeting handicaps. Snap a paper scorecard and watch every hole fill in by itself. WHAT IT DOES Tee-time polls that actually settle. Pick three Saturdays. Your foursome votes. The thread closes itself when you have four. No more "is anyone in for 8 a.m.?" left on read. Snap a paper scorecard. Our AI reads pars, yardages, and your strokes from a photo in 10 seconds. Works on the napkin-sized scorecard your club hands you. No typing. Clubhouse Chat for your group. One tap to start a new chat. Group threads for your league, DMs for your foursome, picker for the people you actually play with. No more searching three apps for who said what. Group rounds with money in. Track who paid, who's playing, who's the marker. Your league owner sees who needs to Venmo without chasing. Tournaments built for organizers. Stableford with USGA-correct stroke index. Net allocation. Countback tiebreaks. Multi-course tournaments — run a 4-week league across 4 different courses. Per-flight leaderboards so your A-flight isn't reading off the same board as the scratch golfers. Live leaderboards your foursome can refresh on the cart path. Team play, including Ryder Cup style (preview). Two-team format, match play scoring, points roll up to the team — same shape as the tournament you watched on TV last September. Jump straight from your league page to whatever's live. Per-hole detail that respects your time. Pars, yardages, gross + net on every scorecard, hole-by-hole. Standard mode for "just strokes." Advanced mode when you actually want to track GIR, putts, fairways. Polls that reach everyone. League owners post a poll, every member gets an email — so the people who don't open the app every day still vote. Multi-question support for the "where are we playing next month and who's bringing the beer" kind of post. Peer-rated partners. Played with someone? Rate their pace, etiquette, honesty. Build a private profile of who you want to play with — only visible after multiple independent reviews so it stays honest. WHO IT'S FOR Weekend foursomes who book the same Saturday tee time week after week. Organized groups — the ten friends who play together every weekend but don't call it a "league." Polls, chat, roster, scoring. No tournament setup required. Casual leagues — Stableford, scrambles, Ryder Cup weekends, club championships — where the organizer is one person with a real job. Tournament organizers who want a leaderboard they're not building from a Google Sheet. WHAT'S DIFFERENT We don't send you generic "rounds in your area" notifications. We don't badge-gate features behind ads. We don't make you type your scorecard. Free through June 30, 2026 — no credit card required. After that, the free plan stays free for everyone who plays in someone else's league. New membership options for league and tournament organizers are coming in a future update. Built by a former weekend-foursome organizer who got tired of texting six people to lock in a Saturday tee time. Voice-powered scoring Record your score, ask for the current leaderboard, or look up your round without breaking your swing rhythm. Works with Siri on iOS. Snap-a-card Already wrote your round on a paper scorecard? Snap a photo and the app reads every hole automatically. Questions or feedback: support@golfsync.io
