Hagolf

Golf scoring for societies and friends

Score the round, not the paperwork.

Hagolf puts the whole card on one phone. Score a hole for a four-ball in under a minute, keep a league running with your friends, and walk off the 18th with a poster for the group chat.

Open Hagolf How to install it

Free to use. Open it on the phone you carry round the course and one button puts it there — a package on Android, your home screen on an iPhone. An App Store listing is on the way.

A league’s statistics: how often the field makes a par or better. A hole being scored for a four-ball. A league leaderboard after four Sundays. A head to head between two players.

What it does

Everything a golf day needs, and nothing it doesn’t.

Six screens off one phone, from an invented Sunday at Heron’s Reach.

  1. Fast on the tee

    Find the club by where you are, pick the loop, add the players. Handicap strokes, net scores and Stableford points work themselves out.

    See the scoring screenThe scoring screen on the seventh at Heron’s Reach, par 5, 521 metres, stroke index 3, with all eighteen holes in a strip under it and the first six marked in. Four players: Isabel in for 4 and Daan for 6, Marco and Priya still to come, each with their strokes and points so far, what this hole earned in a yellow pill, and a minus and a plus either side of their score.

  2. See where the shots go

    Mark fairways, putts and bunkers as you go, and the card shows how you score: which way the tee shot misses, how many greens you hit, how often you get up and down.

    See your own numbersDaan’s own page, over 72 holes of 4 rounds: 34 putts per 18, 15% greens in regulation, 57% of fairways hit, 5% up and down and 8 penalty shots, and folded under them 16 one-putts, 8 three-putts and his missed tee shots, 4 left and 20 right, so they miss mostly right.

  3. Leagues with friends

    Start a league, invite with a link, and every card handed in counts. A running table, head-to-heads and season statistics keep it honest.

    See the league tableThe Heron’s Reach Sunday league: a line reading you, 1st of 12, 144 points, then the Stableford table — Daan leads by 4 — with every player’s cards played, average and move since last time.

  4. Posters, made on the phone

    When the round is in, the boards and every player’s card are drawn on the phone itself.

    See the Images screenThe Images screen for the Midsummer Cup, offering a Stableford leaderboard, a gross leaderboard, both boards on one sheet, how the holes played and twelve player cards, each as a small picture of the sheet itself, a tick for putts, fairways and the rest on the cards, and a Generate button at the foot.

  5. Any club, even yours

    Search every club in the app, or play one that isn’t there: put in each hole’s par as you go, and net scores and points still add up. Old paper cards photograph in too.

    See the club pickerThe club picker: Heron’s Reach offered again at the top, then a search for Royal Pinewood that nothing matches, and under the filter chips Scan an old scorecard, a line saying nothing matches and to play it as an unlisted course, and at the foot Course not listed? Play it anyway, filling in each hole’s par as you play it.

  6. As deep as you like

    Putts, fairways, penalties and bunkers if you want them, off by default. Greens in regulation, up and downs, sand saves and strokes gained follow.

    See the finished cardThe finished card for the Midsummer Cup in Stableford order: Daan Verhoeven first on 42 points with 34 putts, 8 of 14 fairways, 4 of 18 greens in regulation and 2 penalty shots listed under his name, then Isabel Moreau, then Marco Bianchi with a penalty badge.

That is the whole day on one phone, from the first tee to what you take home.

What you take home

A board for the clubhouse wall, a card for every player.

Every sheet below came out of the app, all from the same invented Sunday: the Midsummer Cup at Heron’s Reach, twelve players, mixed tees. Each one starts in a different theme, and running the pointer across it draws the same sheet in nine more. There are a hundred of them, and a theme dresses the app itself as well as everything it prints.

A Stableford leaderboard: twelve players with their position and points, Daan Verhoeven winning on 42, Isabel Moreau a point behind, and a penalty badge beside Marco Bianchi in third. Drawn here in Paper.

A gross leaderboard: twelve players by gross score and to par, each with a bar of their eighteen holes coloured by birdie, par, bogey and double or worse. Drawn here in Masters.
