For the person behind the game

Great Golf Groups Don't Run Themselves

Every great golf group has someone who makes it happen.

  • Organizes the game
  • Invites the players
  • Creates the pairings
  • Keeps the competition fair
  • Settles the questions
  • Calculates the payouts

Without that person, most golf groups simply don't last.

But organizing a golf group is about more than running one tournament. It is weekly games, annual trips, traditions, rivalries, and the person who keeps all of it moving.

Free tools can be a great place to start. But when the workaround becomes the workflow, the organizer is still doing too much of the work. GolfWizard is built so your software fits your game, not the other way around.

GolfWizard was built to give organizers the confidence they deserve.

Frequently asked questions

What is GolfWizard?

+

GolfWizard is golf organizer software for building games, inviting players, managing pairings, tracking live scores, calculating payouts, and keeping everyone on the same page.

Can GolfWizard handle live scoring?

+

Yes. GolfWizard lets players enter scores from their phones, updates leaderboards during the round, and keeps the organizer from having to collect cards, re-enter scores, or calculate results by hand.

Live scoring is part of the larger GolfWizard workflow, along with invitations, pairings, tee times, game formats, payouts, history, and score posting.

Who are Merlin and Lucky?

+

Merlin is GolfWizard's organizer assistant. He helps you think through game setup, formats, messages, and organizer decisions. Lucky is GolfWizard's virtual fill-in player for team games when the numbers don't work.

Do I need to download an app?

+

No, GolfWizard works entirely in your web browser. Players can access it from any device—phone, tablet, or computer—without downloading anything. Just share a link and everyone can join your game.

How long does it take to set up a game?

+

A complete game can be set up in as little as 5 minutes. Simply invite players, choose the format, set pairings and tee times, and it's ready to go. The platform handles the rest automatically.

Why should I use GolfWizard instead of a spreadsheet?

+

Because spreadsheets were not designed to run golf games. GolfWizard gives everyone the same live view of the game, applies current handicap data, tracks scores, and calculates payouts without formulas, copying scores, payout math, or confusion.

GolfWizard does not replace your spreadsheet. It replaces the work, uncertainty, and second-guessing that come with it.

What happens when the numbers don't work for a team game?

+

Don't worry if your team numbers don't work, because you have Lucky. When you have an odd number of players or someone drops out, Lucky can act as a fair virtual fill-in using hole-by-hole scores drawn from the field, so the game stays fair and the format still works.

Does GolfWizard connect to the USGA Handicap Database?

+

Yes. GolfWizard integrates with the USGA Handicap Database to retrieve current Handicap Index® information for eligible players. Authorized players can also submit eligible scores through GolfWizard’s supported score-posting workflow.
