Dirty 22 is the golf game where the lead is never safe. Win a hole and the point goes into escrow, not your pocket. Make par on the next hole to bank it. Bogey, and it spills back on the table. And if a buddy birdies while you're holding escrow, it's his now. Birdies bank instantly. A triple bogey wipes your pocket clean. The leader pays for bogeys. Twenty-two base points, none of them yours until you've earned them twice. The app does the math so you can argue about everything else. SCORE IN SECONDS Par is pre-filled. Big plus and minus buttons. Tag the greenie on par 3s with one tap. Anyone in the game can enter scores, so a dead battery on 14 doesn't end the round. A SCORECARD THAT EXPLAINS ITSELF Gross and net, stroke dots on the holes where you get one, circles for birdies, squares for bogeys, the points won or lost on every hole, and what the next hole is worth. A LEADERBOARD THAT FEELS LIKE A BROADCAST Live for everyone in the game. Who's holding escrow. Who just got robbed. Who's buying. Share a six-letter code and anyone can watch at dirty22.com, no app or account needed. SETTLE UP WITHOUT A CALCULATOR Choose per point or winner takes all. The app nets everyone's margins down to the fewest payments and opens Venmo with the amount filled in. THE RECAP When the round ends, a headline and a short summary written for the group chat, emailed to everyone with a PDF scorecard. Add your own highlight and it makes the cut. REAL COURSES, REAL HANDICAPS Search any USGA-rated course and import it in one tap: pars, stroke indexes, tees, slope and rating. Enter your index by hand and the app works out your course handicap for the tee you're playing. Start on any hole; the app plays the round in order and knows which hole is your last. BUILT FOR THE CREW Your buddies add you by email. Sign up with the same one and every game you've been in is already in your history. Save a setup for the regular game and start the next one in two taps. Push notifications when someone puts you in a game and when the final headline drops. Dirty 22 keeps score for a game played between friends. No money moves through the app. Your points are never safe. dirty22.com
