For players
A scramble and a stroke play golf tournament want different golfers.
Format, holes and whether it is a shotgun or a tee sheet are on the event page, so a society day and a club championship are told apart before you enter either.
Finding one
Format, then tee time.
Stroke play, scramble, best ball and Stableford make for four genuinely different days, and a shotgun start and a tee sheet make for two different mornings. Both are stated up front, so the entry is an informed one.
Getting in
Enter as a four, or on your own.
A four enters together and settles it in one payment or splits it. Enter alone and the organizer puts you out with a group — which for society days and charity scrambles is entirely normal rather than a fallback.
Before you turn up
What the golf you enter has already settled.
Every one of these is decided by the organizer before entries open rather than argued about in week three, and whatever they have settled is on the event page under “What is set” — so you read the rules before you enter, not at the field on the first night.

We do not hold handicaps. Nothing here calculates or verifies one, so a competition run off handicap takes yours from whatever body issues it, and the organizer is who checks it.
Common Questions
- Is it a shotgun start or a tee sheet?
- The event says which, because it changes your whole morning. A shotgun puts everybody out at once; a tee sheet gives you a time, and the organizer publishes it before the day.
- Can I enter without a group?
- Yes. The organizer places single entries into groups, which on society and charity days is how a good part of the field arrives.
- Do I need an account to look around?
- No. Browsing is open to anyone — leagues, clubs, tournaments and races are all readable without signing in. You only need an account to register for something, because a registration has to belong to somebody.
- How does paying work?
- Registering and paying are one step, by card. Where the event asks for a waiver you sign it in the same checkout rather than printing it and carrying it to the field. The money goes to the organizer running the event rather than sitting with us until the season ends.
- What if I do not have a team?
- Races, tournaments and open days take you exactly as you are — one entry, one person. A league season is entered by a team, so instead of registering alone you list yourself as available to play and the teams that are a body short come and find you. Nothing is paid until one of them takes you on.
- What happens if it is already full?
- For a race, a tournament or an open day, a waitlist place confirms itself the moment somebody drops out. A league season queues by team instead, and the side that comes off the queue gets a window to settle the entry before the spot moves on. Where the field is capped by permit, entry may run as a draw with a claim window instead.
- Something went wrong with my registration. Who do I ask?
- The organizer first. They run the event, they can see your registration and they are the one who can change or refund it. If you cannot reach them, we will help — but they are faster, because it is their event.
- What do I keep afterwards?
- One profile carrying every registration, result and standing, across every sport you play here. A season of kickball and a spring half marathon sit in the same place rather than across two organizers and a timing company.
