Golf, with a gallery. Round Update is a live golf scoring app. Share one link and anyone can watch your round — scores, photos and clips, as they happen. Viewers don’t have to get the app or make an account. They just have fun watching. Courses Pick from over 16,000 U.S. courses and the scorecard fills itself in — par, yardage, stroke index, and the tees you’re actually playing. Stroke play or match play, with handicaps if you want them. Formats Classic Stroke Play and Match Play. Skins, carried over hole by hole. Set it up once at the start and the card keeps track, so nobody is doing arithmetic on the 18th tee. Updates Post a photo from the tee, a clip of the putt, or a voice note nobody needed to hear. Everyone watching can react and comment. It reads like a feed that lasts beyond the round. Notifications Watch a round from the app and get a buzz when it matters: someone posts, takes the lead, makes an eagle, or signs their card. You’ll also hear when someone replies to you, or joins a round you’re playing. Turn them on from any live round, and switch each kind off in your account whenever you like. Recaps A recap that is worth sending: the card, the story of the round, and share cards built from what actually happened. All of your rounds are saved to your account too. Free to Join Round Update is free. Create as many rounds as you like, keep every one of them, and share with as many people as you want.
