Track points, rounds played, scoring averages, and low rounds in a clean table. Share the leaderboard with your group. It does more than the table, too: tick Schedule to add games with dates, times, and venues that visitors can filter by team, and Statistics to track rounds played, scoring averages, and low rounds. Enable any combination — all three sit on the same shareable link. ## How golf standings work Golf leagues use three main formats. **Stroke play** ranks on total or average strokes, lowest first. **Match play** awards points for holes or nines won against an opponent. **Stableford**, defined in Rule 21.1 of the Rules of Golf, awards points per hole against a fixed score: 0 for double bogey or worse, 1 for bogey, 2 for par, 3 for birdie, 4 for eagle, 5 for albatross. Most leagues play off handicap, so scores are **net**: a player receives strokes on the hardest holes according to their handicap. In Stableford, a net par on every hole scores 36 points, which is why 36 means playing to your handicap. Season standings add up weekly points, or rank on average. Points formats have the advantage that a disaster hole costs you at most a couple of points, not the whole night. ## A worked example Five players in a Stableford league after three weeks: | Player | Wk 1 | Wk 2 | Wk 3 | Best | PTS | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Dana | 36 | 34 | 39 | 39 | 109 | | Ellis | 38 | 33 | 35 | 38 | 106 | | Frankie | 31 | 37 | 36 | 37 | 104 | | Gus | 33 | 35 | 36 | 36 | 104 | | Hana | 29 | 32 | 30 | 32 | 91 | Frankie and Gus are tied on 104. Using best single round as the tiebreaker, Frankie’s 37 beats Gus’s 36. Dana’s 39 in week 3 is three better than playing to handicap. A Stableford score above 36 is a good day; one below 30 usually means a couple of blow-up holes. ## Common golf tiebreakers When players finish level, these are applied in order until the tie is broken: 1. **Countback** for a single round: the better back nine, then the last six, last three and last hole. 2. **Best single round** of the season. 3. **Most rounds played.** 4. **A playoff hole**, or a card-off. ## How golf seasons are scheduled - **Weekly nine-hole leagues** after work, alternating front and back nines through the season. - **Match play pairings** on a round robin, with each player meeting every other once over the summer. - **Flights** by handicap, so players compete against similar abilities, each with its own table. - **A season-ending championship** seeded by points. ## Setting up golf standings in Simple Standings Pick Golf when you create a league and the standings start with PTS, Rounds, AVG, and Low. New golf leagues sort by PTS. Every column can be renamed, removed, or added to. A computed column can read every typed-in column, plus any computed column to its left. The preset is PTS, Rounds, AVG and Low, sorted by points. For stroke play, sort AVG ascending instead — the lowest average leads. Use Add to totals to type each week’s points and a 1 for Rounds. Make AVG an Average column (`PTS ÷ Rounds`, or strokes over rounds) so it updates on its own. The statistics table tracks rounds, strokes, average and low round per player. ## Features for golf leagues - Custom columns tailored for golf (wins, losses, points, and more) - Computed columns for auto-calculated stats like win percentage and point differential - Shareable read-only link for players, parents, and fans - Dark and light mode — set your own colors for each theme - Smart schedule filters — visitors filter by team, venue, or any column automatically - Public description for announcements, rules, or league info at the top of your page - Add links to your share page — waivers, social media, sign-up forms, anything - Game schedule with custom columns, dates, times, venues, and scores - Player statistics table prefilled for golf — rounds played, scoring averages, and low rounds - Customize colors and fonts for your shareable page - QR code sharing and CSV export - Your league’s logo and custom pages in your league’s navigation - Box scores for every game: the final score, each player’s line, and a page of its own - Works on desktop and mobile — no app to install - No spreadsheets, no imports — just type it in ## How to set up golf standings ### 1.

Free — standings, schedule, and statistics with no team limits, no game caps, and a public share link included. Public pages carry ads, which is what pays for it; a one-time $9.99 USD removes them from a league, with no subscription and no renewal. ### Do golf scores automatically update the standings? Only if you want them to. Typing the table in yourself is the default, and it is what most leagues stick with — no syncing, no broken formulas.
