What's New
New updates and improvements to GolfSheet
Fill Match Scores From a Scorecard Photo
GolfSheet can now help you enter match scores from a completed paper scorecard.
From the Enter Scores page for a match, open the action menu, choose Fill scores from photo, and upload a photo of the completed scorecard. GolfSheet will read the visible hole-by-hole scores and fill them into the match for you.
How it works
- Open a match’s Enter Scores page
- Tap the three-dot menu
- Choose Fill scores from photo
- Upload a photo of the completed scorecard
- Review the filled-in scores carefully
- Make any corrections needed
- Submit the card
Important notes
- This feature is designed to save time, not replace review
- AI can make mistakes, especially with unclear handwriting, partial photos, or names that do not match the players in the match
- GolfSheet will show warning messages if the AI is unsure about parts of the scorecard
- Duplicate uploads of the same image are blocked
- Each match currently allows up to 3 scorecard photo attempts
Best results
For the best score extraction:
- Take the photo in good lighting
- Make sure the full scorecard is visible
- Keep the image straight and in focus
- Use a scorecard where player names are readable and match the players in the match as closely as possible
This is a great option for groups that still prefer to keep score on paper during the round but want faster digital score entry afterward.
Smarter Tee Time Groupings
Tee time assignments are now automatically balanced so you're not stuck in the same foursome every week. Previously, tee times were assigned randomly — now the schedule builder actively spreads out who you're grouped with across the season.
What you'll notice:
- More variety in your foursome each week
- Fewer "I always play with that guy" situations
- Better chance of sharing a tee time with everyone in the league
For leagues that want even more balance, there's a new strict mode option when building your schedule. It runs a more thorough optimization that takes a bit longer but produces an even flatter distribution of pairings.
No action needed — just rebuild your schedule to get the new groupings.
Field Play + Stableford Scoring
You can now run rounds that aren’t forced into head-to-head “vs” matchups.
What’s New
Field Competition (Non Head-to-Head)
Choose Competition: Field to score golfers against the whole field instead of an opponent. Scorecards still work the same, but groups are treated as scoring groups, not rivals.
Stableford Scoring (Net)
Run points-based Stableford leagues with per-hole points calculated from net score vs par:
<= -4: 6-3: 5-2: 4-1: 30: 2+1: 1>= +2: 0
Field + Stroke Play (Leaderboard-Style)
Choose Field + Stroke Play for tournament-style rounds where results come from the leaderboard (no opponent comparisons, no matchup points).
Standings: Leaderboard Tab
Standings now includes a Leaderboard view so stroke play field rounds have a proper big-board experience.
How To Use It
- Go to Season Settings or Round Settings
- Set Competition to Field
- Choose Scoring Method: Stroke Play or Stableford
Notes
- Field mode is currently available for Individual scoring.
- Head-to-head scoring works exactly as before.
Live Leaderboard
We just launched a brand-new Leaderboard experience—perfect for leagues, and just as useful for tournaments, weekend golf trips, member-guest events, and any group round where you want everyone to see where things stand.
What’s new
- Live updates in real time as scores come in
- Round Leaderboard with a hole-by-hole scoring view
- Season Leaderboard that only includes rounds marked “count towards standings”
- Sort by score relative to par
- Toggle views:
- Gross / Net
- Individual / Team
- TV Mode for big-screen display during live events
- Shareable leaderboard links for players and spectators
- An improved responsive layout that works cleanly on mobile and desktop
Where to find it
Open any round and tap Leaderboard.
Admins can also share leaderboard links and use TV Mode to run live scoring at tournaments, trip weekends, and league nights.
Group Stats
- Points (total, per round, per season)
- Pars, birdies, and par-or-better counts
- Low net and low actual wins
- Lowest scores ever recorded
- Skins, CTPs, and cash standings
- Average score and consistency rating
Filter how you want:
- Presets for all time, last year, last 3 years, or last 5 years
- Custom date ranges
- Toggle between individuals and scramble teams
- Include or exclude subs
Find it under Group Stats in the navigation.
Sub Request System
- Click "Request Sub" on any match where you can't make it
- Eligible subs receive an email with an option to accept/decline
- Once someone accepts, they're automatically assigned to your slot and you'll both get confirmation emails
- If plans change, subs can back out and the original golfer is restored
Wave option: Instead of blasting everyone at once, you can send requests in waves prioritized by who has subbed the least this season. This gives infrequent subs first dibs before notifying the regulars. Wave timing adjusts automatically based on how soon the round is—faster waves when time is short.
Handicap Index Sliding Scale
- Scores available – Number of acceptable scores in the scoring record
- Best differentials to exclude – Low outliers to discard
- Worst differentials to exclude – High outliers to discard
The remaining differentials are averaged to calculate the Handicap Index.
- 3-5 scores → use lowest 1
- 6-8 scores → use lowest 2
- 9-11 scores → use lowest 3
- 12-14 scores → use lowest 4
- 20+ scores → use lowest 8
If a golfer's score count falls between defined tiers, the system interpolates automatically. Leave the sliding scale empty to continue using the legacy averaging method.
New Game - Team Low Net
New Stat - Consistency Rating
- Track your progress over time
- Identify patterns in your performance
- Set more informed goals for improvement
Rounding options for handicap calculation
- Round up
- Round down
- Standard Rounding (Rounding up if the decimal is .5 or higher, down otherwise).
"Not Playing For Points"
We now support this as an option so that they can be included in side games like skins and closest-to-the-pin. This of course also lets the round count towards their league handicap. When setting up a match, just check the "not playing for points" box and any sort of scoring earned will not count towards the individual or team standings.
Larger Team Sizes
Scramble Mode
When enabled, "Teams" will be used as the scoring entities rather than Golfers. Be sure to have your Teams setup here.
"Pick Up"
You can enable this setting at the Season or Round level from either settings page.
Additional handicap formula setting - Max gross strokes over par
New No-Show Option
Additionally, you have the option to apply the substitute point results towards the no-show's season points, which is common practice in team play scenarios where a member is absent.
This can be set up easily from the Match edit screen:
A Few New Scoring Options
- Most Holes Won: Elevate your match play with our new feature allowing players to gain extra points by winning the most holes in head-to-head matches. It's all about those key moments and strategic plays now!
- Customizable Low Net Score Bonus Points: We're excited to introduce a highly customizable feature for awarding bonus points based on low net scores. League organizers can now set any number of positions to receive varying points – whether it’s 5 points for the lowest score, 3 for the second, or any other configuration you decide. Plus, this isn't just for individual scoring; team scores can also reap the benefits of your custom settings.
You can find these new options in the Season and Round settings pages.
Get a Headcount
This setting can be found in the Season or Round settings. To view results, simply click the "Headcount" button at the top of the Round page.
Skins by Flight
You can set up flights within either your Season or your Round settings. New Rounds will automatically inherit the Season's skins. This allows for continued adjustments without messing up past calculations, as well as making round-by-round adjustments if needed.
Custom Tee Times
When creating or editing a Match, simply select Custom Tee Time from the dropdown.
