Golf With Mates is the scorecard built for the way friends actually play golf - not the polite tournament version, but the rolling Sunday fourball where someone's playing Stableford, two of you have a tenner riding on the back nine, and nobody's quite sure who owes who from last week. Score live. Settle bets. Keep every round. WHAT IT DOES • Live, real-time scorecards — up to 4 players per group, 48 per round (perfect for society days and corporate outings) • Full USGA handicap math, baked in — no mental arithmetic on the tee box • Side bets that actually settle: skins, Nassau, Stableford, match play, best ball, scramble, foursome, Chapman, Köpenhamnare, BBB • Course database with thousands of clubs — search by name, GPS, or add your own • Offline-first scoring — keep playing when the signal drops, syncs when you're back • Lifetime stats: rounds played, gross/net averages, best 18 and best 9, score breakdown, and bet winnings split by currency • Live leaderboard you can share with mates back at the clubhouse via a single link WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Most golf scorecards are calculators with a UI. Golf With Mates is built around the social side: hosts manage rounds, friends join with a 4-letter code, and bets settle automatically based on the agreed handicap allowance. No spreadsheets. No "wait, what was Tom's net on 14?" arguments in the clubhouse.

LANGUAGES English and Swedish, with full Swedish translations of every format name and scoring term (Stableford = Poängbogey). PRIVACY Your scores, friends, and bets are yours.
