Halved keeps score for the games golfers really play. Set up a round, pick your games, enter scores hole by hole, and Halved does the rest — live results, handicaps, a shareable spectator web page, and an easy settle-up at the end. GAMES YOU CAN PLAY • Hot Seat — one golfer anchors each hole and his score counts whatever it is; the team adds the best net of the other three, and the anchor rotates • 40 Balls — a group gets 40 balls for the round and spends 0 to 4 a hole, picked after the scores are in • Better Ball — you pick how many of the group's nets count, and it is that many on every hole • Banker — one golfer takes the hole on against the other three, each in its own match, with doubles called at a ball in the air • Sequoya 3s — six three-hole matches, partners rotating every third hole • Skins, with optional carryover • Nassau — front, back, overall, with presses • Las Vegas — 2v2 team game • Sixes — 2v2 best ball with rotating partners • Wolf • Rabbit • Survivor — three players, last one standing takes the hole • Fourball — 2v2 match play, the better ball of each pair counting • Honors — win a hole outright and you hold the honor, scoring every hole until somebody takes it off you • Triple Nassau — three golfers, every pair playing its own match • Nassau Nine — one match over the holes you actually play, with presses: the Nassau for a nine-hole or back-nine round • Points 5-3-1 • Stableford, with a custom points table • Spots — greenies, sandies, chippies and the rest, from a list your group agrees on • Match Play • Stroke Play • Multi-Group Skins across foursomes, in whatever groups you are playing in • On your own against par — stroke play, a Nassau or an 18-hole match • One-round team cup • Scramble and Shamble team events • Two-golfer teams — best ball, alternate shot, Scotch, Chapman CASUAL ROUNDS Playing with friends? Start a round, choose one or more games, and assign players and tees. Halved tracks every hole and shows who's ahead in real time. PLAY WITH FRIENDS Add a golfer by phone number and send a text invite in one tap. When a friend adds you to a round — or invites you to watch one — it shows up right on your own Casual Rounds and Tournaments lists, clearly flagged so you know whether you're playing or just following along. GROUP CHAT & LIVE FEED Every round has a group chat and a live feed that calls out birdies and key moments as they happen — so the whole group can follow the action, even players in other groups. TOURNAMENTS Running something bigger? Halved supports multiple foursomes, several games at once, and multi-round events — with live leaderboards, team cup play, and formats like Irish Rumble, Pink Ball, and Singles. Dream Round takes the best score on every hole number across the whole event and makes one card of them; Road Trip plays several courses over several days with the best rounds counting, scored to par so a hard course is not a penalty. Team events run small teams or two-golfer pairs against the whole field on one board, each format with the allowance it is actually played off. FIND YOUR COURSE FAST Just start typing a course name and pick it from one list — your own courses, a shared catalog, and a full course database, all in a single search. HANDICAPS YOUR WAY Score net (with an adjustable handicap percentage), gross, or strokes-off-the-low-player — set per game to match how your group plays. Every scorecard shows exactly where each player gets a stroke, hole by hole, so the handicap is never a mystery. SETTLE UP At the end of the round, the Settlement tab nets every game into one summary and shows exactly who owes whom — plus the fewest payments to square up. Settle in seconds, with no spreadsheets and no napkin math. Halved is built for friendly play among friends. It tracks informal stakes for scoring purposes only and does not process payments.
