Game Day, Live

Not just the admin — the golf itself

Score hole-by-hole on any phone, watch the leaderboard move shot by shot, and crown the winners the moment the last putt drops. Then go bigger: Ryder Cup battles, fantasy squads, season-long knockouts, and club competitions — all on the same platform.

Live scoring

Organisers & players

Every team gets a scoring link — no app, no login, no spreadsheets. Players tap in their gross score after each hole on any phone, and FourBalls does the maths: course handicaps, playing allowances, points, and positions, all worked out automatically while the round is still going.

  • Hole-by-hole entry on any phone — captains score for the team
  • Handicaps, allowances & count-backs done for you
  • Nearest-the-pin & longest-drive captured on the same link

Leaderboards that run themselves

One public link shows the whole field, live — positions, holes played, and points, refreshed automatically as scores come in. Put the TV mode on the clubhouse screen and let the bar go quiet on the back nine.

  • Updates itself as every score lands — no refresh needed
  • TV mode for the clubhouse or prizegiving screen
  • Ties settled with proper WHS count-backs
  • Publish final results with medals, sponsors & WhatsApp sharing

  • Bonus points for beating stronger bands & big margins — plus the 🐕 dog bowl
  • Free entry by email magic link — no app, no login

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about FourBalls.

For Golf Courses

What does it cost for my course to be on FourBalls?

R1,499 per month with a 14-day free trial. This gives you a public course profile, availability calendar, booking approval dashboard, and full event oversight. No setup fees, no commission on events.

How do I manage which days are available for golf days?

Your calendar shows all days by default as available. Simply block out dates you don’t want (club events, maintenance, etc). Organisers can only request available dates, and you approve every booking before it goes live.

What happens when an organiser wants to book my course?

They submit a booking request with their event details. You’ll see it in your Booking Requests dashboard and can approve or reject it. Once approved, the organiser can publish their event and start collecting registrations.

Can organisers find my course and request dates directly?

Yes. Your public course page shows your profile, facilities, green fees, and an availability calendar. Organisers can request any open date directly from there. You’ll see their enquiry in your Enquiries dashboard.

Can I host my own golf days without an external organiser?

Yes. From your calendar, click any available date and choose “Create event”. You’ll go through the same event builder as organisers, but your course is pre-selected and auto-approved.

Do I have control over what events run at my course?

Absolutely. Every golf day must be approved by you before it can be published. You can reject bookings with a reason, and the organiser can revise and resubmit.

What are Cup & Plate knockouts?

A season-long match-play knockout you run for your members — included in your subscription. FourBalls generates the draw automatically (first-round Cup losers drop into the Plate for a second chance), players self-schedule their ties and confirm each other’s results, and the bracket advances itself on a branded public tournament page with sponsors and shareable match cards.

Can we run our own weekly competitions and a season series?

Yes. Create in-house competitions (medal, Stableford, and more), let players score hole-by-hole from their phones, and share a live leaderboard link — with a TV mode for the clubhouse screen. Group rounds into a series and FourBalls keeps Order-of-Merit standings across the season.

For Organisers

Is FourBalls really free for organisers?

Yes, 100% free. No per-event fees, no commission, no hidden charges. Create unlimited events at any listed course. The platform is funded by course subscriptions.

How do I set up a golf day?

Register as an organiser, then use the event builder. Pick a course, set the date, add registration options and pricing, sponsor tiers, day schedule, and your branding. Submit for course approval and you’re done.

How do payments work?

You add your bank details in the event settings. When teams register, they see your EFT banking details and can upload proof of payment directly. You track payment status in your dashboard and mark teams as paid — they get an automatic confirmation email.

Can I share my event on WhatsApp?

Yes. Every event page, registration confirmation, and your organiser dashboard has a WhatsApp share button with a pre-filled invitation message. You can also share via email with one click.

How do tee times work?

You can manually assign tee times and starting holes, or use auto-assign which respects each team’s preferred tee time. When you’re ready, email the tee sheet to all captains with one click — each captain gets their specific time and hole.

Can I post updates to registered teams?

Yes. From your event dashboard, post announcements that appear on the public event page and each captain’s registration status page. Toggle “email all captains” to send it to everyone at once.

What does the captain receive after registering?

An email with their reference number, amount due, your bank details, a link to upload POP, and a WhatsApp share button. They also get a personal registration page where they can track status, see updates, and view their tee time.

Can I manage sponsors for my golf day?

Yes. Set up sponsor tiers (e.g. Hole Sponsor, Gold Sponsor) with pricing and benefits. Sponsors can self-register via a link. You approve them in your dashboard. Approved sponsors appear on your event page and in confirmation emails.

How does live scoring work on the day?

Each team gets a scoring link — no app or login needed. They enter gross scores hole by hole on any phone, and FourBalls works out handicaps, points, and positions automatically. Your public leaderboard updates itself as scores come in, with count-backs applied for ties, plus nearest-the-pin and longest-drive winners. There’s even a TV mode for the prizegiving screen.

Which playing formats are supported?

Stableford, medal and stroke play, 4BBB better-ball, team aggregate, scramble, foursomes, greensome, match play, and more. Pick your format when you build the event and the scoring engine handles the maths — including handicap allowances per format.

What is Ryder Cup mode and what does it cost?

It’s our flagship team-vs-team format: two teams with captains and custom colours battle across foursomes, fourballs, and singles sessions, with a live team scoreboard. You also get player approvals, cost plans with PDF/CSV export, and a branded onboarding pack. It’s free to set up and R299 once-off to go live — no monthly fee.

For Players

How do I register for a golf day?

Visit the event page (shared by the organiser via WhatsApp or email), fill in your team name, captain details, and up to 4 players with handicaps. Submit and you’re registered.

Do I need to create an account?

No. Registration is open to everyone. After registering you get a personal link to your registration status page — no password needed.

How do I pay?

The organiser’s bank details are shown right after you register and sent to you via email. Pay via EFT using your reference number, then upload proof of payment on your registration page or email it to the organiser.

How do I know my payment went through?

Once the organiser confirms your payment, you’ll receive a confirmation email and your registration status page will show “Confirmed”.

How do I find out my tee time?

The organiser will assign tee times and email them to you before the event. You can also check your registration status page for your assigned tee time and starting hole.

Can I add players to my team later?

Yes. Your registration status page lets you edit player names and handicaps anytime before the event. Only the captain (who registered) can make changes.

How do I stay updated about the event?

Your registration page shows all event updates posted by the organiser. If the organiser sends email updates, you’ll get those too. Bookmark your registration page for easy access.

How do we enter our scores on the day?

Your team gets a scoring link — open it on any phone, no app or password needed. Enter your gross score after each hole and the leaderboard updates automatically. Handicaps and points are worked out for you, so you can watch your position change as the field comes in.
