What's New
New updates and improvements to GolfSheet
Skin Handicap setting per round
Improvement
We're thrilled to announce a strategic update to our skins scoring system:
Previously: The decision to use a golfer’s net score for determining the winner for skins was set at the course level.
What's New?: You can now specify for each round (or season) how many of the hardest holes should use net scores.
How It Works: When setting up a round, simply choose the number of hardest holes to apply the net score to. Whether it's the top 3, 5, or any other number, the choice is yours!
Why We Added This: Some groups do not wish to use the same skin settings across the board. This allows for flexibility on a round-by-round basis.
Closest-to-Pin and Long Drive Settings Per Round
Improvement
Previously, whether or not a hole was in play for CTP or Longest Drive was determined at the course level. Now, you can change which holes are set for CTP an Longest Drive on a round-by-round basis.
All existing rounds have already been setup to use the previously selected settings for the holes on the courses set for the round.
Moving forward, you'll need to set these for each round when creating it. At the bottom of the Round settings page, you'll see checkboxes for each hole on the course set for the round. Simply check the boxes you want to allow CTP marking for.

Mark Your Own CTP & Longest Drive
New
Previously, marking a score as the winner of 'Closest to the Pin' or 'Long Drive' was a task reserved for league admins. In our continued efforts to streamline and improve this process, we've lifted this restriction.
From now on, any golfer can mark their score as the current leading performance for 'Closest to the Pin' or 'Long Drive' directly from the score entry screen.
To maintain the accuracy of the competition, when a new leading score is entered, the checkboxes of prior leaders will be automatically cleared, so it is important to mark yourself the winner right when you finish the hole.
Team Scoring - Low Score
New
We are thrilled to announce that we have added a new scoring option for Team play called "Low Score," which was a requested feature by potential users. This new scoring option awards a point to the team whose golfer achieves the lowest net score in a foursome, making it an exciting and competitive addition to your golf game. In the event of a tie, the point is split between the teams.
You can find this option on either your Season or Round Settings page

GolfLeaguer.com is now GolfSheet.app
Update
Golf Leaguer was designed for golf leagues, obviously. However, it turns out it works great for other golf events, so we've changed the name to GolfSheet.
While there is a long way to go before GolfSheet will be the best tool for a large golf tournament that requires registration and payments, it works great for weekend golf trips, tournaments, or just casual rounds where scoring, standings and side games are played.

Mystery Pot Game
New
"Mystery Pot" is available as a side game. How it works: A random total score is selected. Any golfers that got that score takes (or splits, if multiple) the pot.
Enable it by setting the "Mystery Pot" value to something greater than 0 in the Side Game Amounts section of either your Season or Round settings.

Additional "No show" option
New
There are now two options for determining how to score an absent golfer:
Default Point Progression
With this method, the Season's "no show point progression" setting is used. Let's use 5,4,3 for this setting as an example. If a golfer misses their first time, they get 5 points. The 2nd miss, they get 4, and so on. 3 would be the lowest score a no-show can earn moving forward no matter how many misses.
Course
With this option the absent golfer simply gets as many points as "the course" earns for them vs. their opponent.
We'll be adding more options as we go. If you have a method your league uses, let us know!

Side game settings adjustable per Round
Improvement
Previously, the amount for skins, CTPs, etc. were determined for the entire Season. Now you can adjust these values per round. This is great for upping the stakes towards the end of the season or having a special round after the season with more on the line.
These settings will always default to what you have set at the Season level. Click Settings on any Round page to make adjustments.

Now there is a place for it.

Option for Round to count towards standings... or not
New
Previously, any scored round played would count towards Season standings. Now, Rounds have a setting for this.
This is useful for situations like end-of-year bonus rounds or "fun rounds" where you'd still like to track results for the season, but not have them affect the official season standings.
This setting can be found by clicking the Settings link on any Round page. From there, head to the bottom (shown below).

Round settings
Improvement
Previously, scoring options were determined at the Season level. Now, each round has it's own scoring settings. These will default to what is set at the Season level, but can be customized individually.
This is great for leagues that may want to change scoring at different points throughout the season.
To change the scoring settings for a Round, simply click the Settings button from the Round page.

Auto updating score entry form
Improvement
Previously, when scores were entered only the scorecard would update across devices in realtime. Now the numbers in the entry areas will update as well. This allows for multiple golfers to simultaneously mark their scores on the same card without worry of overwriting scores, putts, etc with outdated data.
Pick up where you left off
Improvement
If you navigate away from the score entry screen during your match, you'll now automatically be at your next hole when you return.
View all scores per hole
New
You can now easily see what every golfer got on any given hole for a round.
Just click the Hole number on the scorecard. The scores will be ordered low-to-high and also include the adjusted score if the hole was handicapped for skins.
With a quick glance you can tell who canceled out your birdie and cost you the big $$

Live Scoring
New
You can now view the progress and results of other matches in your group before they are submitted or even as they are being played. Previously, scorecards were only viewable by others after they had been submitted.
Now, matches that have been started will be viewable from the Round overview screen. As strokes are entered, they will automatically update in realtime- no page refresh needed. Points will be calculated and updated as well.
With his feature, scores are no longer defaulted to Par and instead will be blank. This allows you see the progress of a match and where Golfers are on the course.
