Golf on your own, and two games that now ask the group instead of deciding for it. PLAYING ALONE — three games where the opponent is par. Stroke Play is your net total against it. Nassau plays the front nine, the back nine and all 18 as three matches against it. Match Play is one eighteen-hole match, with the closing score shown when it is settled early. One slider sets how many strokes you take — below or above your full handicap, because nobody is paying — and the card marks every hole you won against par and every hole it won against you. Turn presses on and a new match opens whenever either side goes two down: par presses back, so a practice round plays like a full match against a scratch player. SIX'S — the group picks the second match. The teams used to be drawn when the game was set up and the slot machine only uncovered them. Now, when the first match is decided, the two remaining pairings are on screen: spin for one, or set them yourself. The third match is whatever is left, so everybody partners everybody exactly once. MULTI-GROUP SKINS — say who shares a scorecard. A pool spread over a dozen foursomes is mostly golfers playing on their own card, but the few who are out together want one between them so somebody keeps the score. You set that when the round is created and change it from the round's own page afterwards, and a golfer who turns up on the first tee can be added to a card of his own without disturbing anybody who has teed off. A guest with no account can play in the pool as long as somebody on his card is keeping score. ALSO IN THIS RELEASE • The app opens straight away even when the network is slow to answer, rather than waiting on it before drawing anything • Starting a round on your own is two steps — there is nobody to pick • A scorecard's names stay put when you scroll it sideways, on every board in the app, and each opens on the hole you are playing • Every card shows the nine totals you would write on paper • Three handicap strokes on a hole are drawn as three, not two
Halved keeps score for the games golfers really play. Set up a round, pick your games, enter scores hole by hole, and Halved does the rest — live results, handicaps, a shareable spectator web page, and an easy settle-up at the end. GAMES YOU CAN PLAY • Hot Spot — one golfer anchors each hole and his score counts whatever it is; the team adds the best net of the other three, and the anchor rotates • 40 Balls — a group gets 40 balls for the round and spends 0 to 4 a hole, picked after the scores are in • Better Ball — you pick how many of the group's nets count, and it is that many on every hole • Banker — one golfer takes the hole on against the other three, each in its own match, with doubles called at a ball in the air • Sequoya 3s — six three-hole matches, partners rotating every third hole • Skins, with optional carryover • Nassau — front, back, overall, with presses • Las Vegas — 2v2 team game • Sixes — 2v2 best ball with rotating partners • Wolf • Rabbit • Survivor — three players, last one standing takes the hole • Fourball — 2v2 match play, the better ball of each pair counting • Honors — win a hole outright and you hold the honor, scoring every hole until somebody takes it off you • Triple Nassau — three golfers, every pair playing its own match • Nassau Nine — one match over the holes you actually play, with presses: the Nassau for a nine-hole or back-nine round • Points 5-3-1 • Stableford, with a custom points table • Spots — a side game for one-putts, sandies, barkies and more • Match Play • Stroke Play • Multi-Group Skins across foursomes, in whatever groups you are playing in • On your own against par — stroke play, a Nassau or an 18-hole match • One-round team cup • Scramble and Shamble team events • Two-golfer teams — best ball, alternate shot, Scotch, Chapman CASUAL ROUNDS Playing with friends? Start a round, choose one or more games, and assign players and tees. Halved tracks every hole and shows who's ahead in real time. PLAY WITH FRIENDS Add a golfer by phone number and send a text invite in one tap. When a friend adds you to a round — or invites you to watch one — it shows up right on your own Casual Rounds and Tournaments lists, clearly flagged so you know whether you're playing or just following along. GROUP CHAT & LIVE FEED Every round has a group chat and a live feed that calls out birdies and key moments as they happen — so the whole group can follow the action, even players in other groups. TOURNAMENTS Running something bigger? Halved supports multiple foursomes, several games at once, and multi-round events — with live leaderboards, team cup play, and formats like Irish Rumble, Pink Ball, and Singles. Dream Round takes the best score on every hole number across the whole event and makes one card of them; Road Trip plays several courses over several days with the best rounds counting, scored to par so a hard course is not a penalty. Team events run small teams or two-golfer pairs against the whole field on one board, each format with the allowance it is actually played off. FIND YOUR COURSE FAST Just start typing a course name and pick it from one list — your own courses, a shared catalog, and a full course database, all in a single search. HANDICAPS YOUR WAY Score net (with an adjustable handicap percentage), gross, or strokes-off-the-low-player — set per game to match how your group plays. Every scorecard shows exactly where each player gets a stroke, hole by hole, so the handicap is never a mystery. SETTLE UP At the end of the round, the Settlement tab nets every game into one summary and shows exactly who owes whom — plus the fewest payments to square up. Settle in seconds, with no spreadsheets and no napkin math. Halved is built for friendly play among friends. It tracks informal stakes for scoring purposes only and does not process payments.
