Updating it takes two taps. FRIENDLY SIDE GAMES, NEATLY SETTLED If your group plays for small friendly stakes, FairwayDuel does the math at the end of the round and shows who owes whom — based on the rules your group agreed on. It's a scorekeeping calculator, not a sportsbook: FairwayDuel never collects money, holds funds, or takes a cut. Any settlement is strictly between the players, in the payment app of their choice. PRIVACY-FIRST No ads. No cross-app tracking. We don't sell your information. Your scores and matches are visible only to the players in your group and to spectators you share a code with. FairwayDuel is free to use. Built by a golfer at Binghamton Country Club for the Saturday game he plays every week.
