What does a golf tournament app do?
A golf tournament app replaces paper cards and a scoreboard. Players enter scores on their phones during the event, and the app calculates gross and net results, splits the field into flights, and shows a live leaderboard anyone can follow.

How to run a golf tournament in Go Live Golf
The director does the setup once. After that, scoring and the leaderboard run themselves.
Create the event
A tournament director enters the course, date, format, gross or net basis, and any entry fee or purse details.
Publish the event page
The public page shows course photos, the full event details and a contact form that goes to the director.
Set the flights
Players are split into flights automatically, so each group competes against similar handicaps.
Players score live
Each group scores on a phone. The public leaderboard updates as holes are saved.
Final results
When the last group finishes, the leaderboard shows the winners in every flight.
