What's New

GolfSheet has always allowed admins to manually override a golfer’s handicap on a per-match basis. Now, admins can set a manual handicap directly on the golfer profile.

This is especially useful for leagues that want to use each player’s official and GHIN handicap instead of GolfSheet’s calculated league handicap. Set the golfer’s handicap once, and GolfSheet will automatically use that value whenever handicaps are pulled into a match, including the “Get Current” button. You no longer need to override the same GHIN number round by round.

To set it: go to Golfers, click Edit on the golfer, and enter the value in Manual handicap override. Leave it blank to keep using GolfSheet’s calculated handicap.

We’ve added a new side game called Foursome Greenies.
When enabled for a round, each tee-time foursome (4 golfers in one tee time) competes as a group, and the foursome with the most GIRs on the selected holes wins the pot.

• Pot is split evenly among the winning foursome.
• Tie handling is configurable: split the pot or push to next round.
• Greenies can be played on any holes you choose (par 3, par 4, par 5, single-hole, or full custom selection).

Greenies is a round-level setting, so if it’s enabled for a round, it applies to that round’s eligible submitted golfers (not individual opt-in/out per golfer).

You asked for scoring flexibility, and it’s live.

1. Stableford can now run alongside head-to-head points
   In Individual rounds, you can combine Stableford with match play/stroke play scoring instead of choosing one or the other. Stableford is shown separately on the scorecard so it’s easy to track.
2. Low Net / Low Actual bonuses now work in Field play
   Field rounds can now award Low Net and Low Actual bonus points too, giving you more options for Ryder Cup-style or hybrid formats. Round cards now show clear bonus indicators (Net and/or Actual) so bonus wins are visible at a glance.

League admins can now update an entire round’s scores from one screen.

The new Bulk Update Scores view gives you a spreadsheet-style table of all golfers and holes for a round, making it much faster to enter or correct scores without opening each match individually.

What You Can Do

• View all matches for a round in one place
• Enter or edit hole-by-hole strokes for every golfer
• Save all changes at once
• Quickly fix submitted scores without jumping between scorecards

Designed for Fast Admin Work

• Full-width table layout for large rounds
• Sticky hole headers so you always know which hole you’re editing
• Match grouping to keep rows easier to scan
• Larger score inputs for faster data entry
• Visual highlighting for modified cells before saving
• Live-updating row totals as scores change

Notes

• This is an admin-only tool
• It currently supports strokes only
• Existing match recalculation and leaderboard updates still run after save

You can find it from the round page in the 3-dot admin menu under Bulk Update Scores.

We've added a new side game — Fewest Putts. The golfer with the lowest total putt count for the round takes the pot. Ties split evenly.

How it works

• Everyone in the round contributes a set dollar amount to the Fewest Putts pot
• At the end of the round, the golfer(s) with the fewest total putts wins
• Winnings are split equally among tied winners
• Results appear in the Fewest Putts box on the round page alongside Skins, Low Net, and other side games
• Payouts are included in the round's Payouts summary

Setup

An admin can enable Fewest Putts and set the buy-in amount in the round's gambling preferences. Once enabled, make sure putts are recorded hole-by-hole on the scorecard — the game requires a complete putt count for every golfer to be eligible.

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.

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.

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: 3
• 0: 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

1. Go to Season Settings or Round Settings
2. Set Competition to Field
3. Choose Scoring Method: Stroke Play or Stableford

Notes

• Field mode is currently available for Individual scoring.
• Head-to-head scoring works exactly as before.

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

• Round Leaderboard with a hole-by-hole scoring view
• Season Leaderboard that only includes rounds marked “count towards standings”

• Shareable leaderboard links for players and spectators
• An improved responsive layout that works cleanly on mobile and desktop
