Game creation
Step 1: Initiate a new game
To initiate new game creation, tap the +
button located at the bottom right corner of the game list in the Games
section. This action brings up a form to enter game details and manage player invitations.
Step 2: Provide game details
Fill in the required fields to outline your game:
- Game Title: This will normally be descriptive (e.g., "Evening 9 Holes" or “Monday Rollup”).
- Game location: Choose the game location by searching by golf club name. See further details below👇🏻. Note - If a club has more than one course then you will also need to specify the course as well.
- Group: The group for which you wish to create the game. Note - If you are already in a filtered view for a group then the currently selected group will be automatically chosen when creating a game (but you can change this).
- Date and Time: Schedule when the game will occur.
- Game Type: Choose from:
- Round: Up to 4 players.
- Rollup: Unlimited players.
- Maximum Players: Set your preferred limit.
- Player Category: Options include Mixed, Juniors, Men, Ladies.
- Your Participation: Indicate if you're playing or not (either way, you’re the Game admin).
- Game Length: Select from 6, 9, 12, or 18 holes.
- Scoring Format: Options are Casual, Strokeplay, Matchplay.
Optionally, you can define a team format (Greensomes, Foresomes, Better Ball), though it's not required.
Step 3: Invite players
You are automatically listed as the first player if joining, and you can then tap + Invite Players
to access a list of group members for invitations, with your Buddies appearing on top for easier selection. Note - You will only see group members for the group you have selected above.
After picking invitees, hit Invite
to include them. To adjust invites before game creation, revisit + Invite Players
for edits or additions. If you invite group members and then subsequently change the group before game creation then the previous invitees who are not also in the newly applied group will be removed automatically.
Note - Post-creation, invites can be added but not retracted.
Step 4: Setting Game Privacy
By default, games are Public (open to all group members). To limit visibility, opt for a Private game in the Game Privacy
section, restricting it to your invitees only.
Step 5: Add the game
Finalise your game with the Create Game
button once you're satisfied with all details, invitees, and privacy settings. Your game will be added to the games list for the relevant group and will be available to all group members (if public), or to invitees (if private).
