What is the Golf League Tracker?

The Golf League Tracker is an online system which will allow you to keep track of every aspect of your golf league.  After an initial setup such as entering your player names, GLT will create your schedule, and you'll just have to enter the players score for each hole when the round is complete.  GLT will then calculate match points, handicap, skins, and standings automatically!  Your players can then log in and check the standings, look up their stats, and see if they won any money in your skins game!

Can't I just track my league on paper or in a program like Excel?

You can, but it's very labor intensive.  The first time saver is scheduling.  Just with a click of a mouse, GLT will create an optimum schedule for your league.  Each player will play everyone at least once as long as there is enough weeks in your league.  The next time saver is figuring out the results.  In GLT, all you have to do is enter each player's score for each hole.  GLT will automatically determine the handicap holes and apply the points accordingly.  You can even print out scorecard for GLT for your players before the round!

How much does it cost?

Golf League Tracker is only $99 for the entire year, no matter how many players you have.

Does Golf League Tracker Handle Team Play?

Yes!  The Golf League Tracker can be set up for individual or team match play.

How is Scoring Handled

Scoring in GLT is match play.  You can set the number of points per hole each player can win.  You can also award points for the match.  We currently do not support stroke play.

Does Golf League Tracker Handle 9 and 18 Hole Leagues?

Yes.  It can also handle a league which plays on different courses or alternating the front and back side of one course week to week.

How Are Handicaps Calculated?

Handicap calculations can be endless for golf leagues, therefore a basic formula is instituted, but you can customize some parameters of the formula.  In general, the formula is

Handicap = (AVERAGE SCORE - PAR) * Handicap Ratio %

You determine a handicap ratio (most leagues use 80-90%, to award a bonus for better players).  You can tell GLT how many rounds to calculate for the average score, whether or not to throw out high or low rounds, or institute a limit a player can count per hole, based on their handicap (this prevents sandbagging, or artificially inflating ones handicap).

Does GLT support skins?

Yes!  In the leagues I've played in, not everyone necessarily wants to play in skins, therefore GLT will allow you to put only the players who want to play.  With a click of a button GLT will figure out who won and how much.

You can also configure the skins so that different players will pay different amounts into the pot.  We've found this works better than using handicaps for skins.  So the better players might put in $3 a week, the middle players $2, and the hackers $1 a week!

How are Substitutes Handled?

If your league record the substitutes' scores, Golf League Tracker will treat the sub just like any other player.  When entering the scores, you just tell Golf League Tracker that a regular player was absent, and you choose a substitute for him.

If you don't count subs scores, you tell Golf League Tracker that the player was absent, and don't choose a substitute for him.

How are No-Shows Handled?

For Individual Play
The person who doesn't have an opponent will play against the course.  You can define how many strokes (if any) over their average they will get.  For example, a 7 handicapper plays against the course.  You can say that he will receive 2 strokes over his handicap.  So the player will play against par, and will get 9 strokes, or 1 stroke per hole.  The player who doesn't show up will receive the points that "the course" received.  If neither player showed up, nobody gets any points.

For Team Play
If only 1 team member shows up, he will play again both of the other players on the opposing team.  If neither player shows up, the players who showed will use the same rules as defined above for individual play.  If neither team showed up, neither of them will receive any points.

Do I Have to Install Software?

NO!  That's the beauty of Golf League Tracker.  Everything is web based.  All you need is a connection to the internet and a web browser.
