Three screens, one event.
Everything the players and the public leaderboard need flows from a single setup screen.
The director sets it up
Sign in at pressgolfapp.com — no app required. Name the event, pick the course, and enter slope, rating and par. Choose the format — two-man best ball, four-man best ball or individual stroke play — then set the handicap allowance for the event. Pull returning golfers from your directory — start typing and their GHIN index and contact fill in. Course handicaps calculate automatically from slope, rating and par.
One scorer per group
The scorecard is the one piece that lives in the app. Every golfer gets their own QR code — scanning it opens Press Golf already identified, with name, index, course handicap and team pre-loaded. One player in each foursome keeps the card and enters gross for the whole group, hole by hole, on the scorecard they already use. A six-character event code works as a fallback.
Everyone watches live
The leaderboard is a web page — no app, no login. Spouses, sponsors, the pro shop and players still on the front nine can all open the same page and refresh. It recomputes every net score the moment any player saves a hole.
The director portal and the public leaderboard are web pages at pressgolfapp.com — no download, and the leaderboard opens for anyone you send it to. The only part inside the Press Golf app is the scorecard players use to enter their holes.
The parts nobody wants to do by hand.
- 01
Handicap allowance per event
Full, 95%, 90%, 85% or scratch. Change the dropdown and every net score on the leaderboard recomputes.
- 02
Strokes allocated automatically
Course handicap from index, slope, rating and par — then strokes distributed hole by hole by stroke index.
- 03
Per-player QR codes
Text or email each golfer their own code. Players without the app get a sign-up link first.
- 04
Net or gross
Run the event on net scores with handicaps applied, or gross for a scratch field.
- 05
Skins as a side game
Optional gross and net pools layered on the same scores, with carryovers. Each golfer opts in individually.
- 06
Works without signal
Holes entered out of coverage queue on the phone and sync as soon as service comes back.
- 07
Fix things mid-round
Correct a score, adjust a handicap or move a golfer between teams from your phone. Standings recompute instantly.
- 08
