Q&A
Questions, answered
Getting started
Is GolfStyle free?
Yes. GolfStyle is free to download, and scoring, handicap and statistics are included.
Which languages are available?
English and Spanish. The app follows your device language and you can change it anytime in Settings.
Do my friends need the app to play?
No. You can add friends as guests and score their round. When they sign up, their rounds are waiting for them.
Playing
Which game formats can we play?
Stroke Play today, with more formats coming. Groups of one to four players, up to 36 groups in one game.
What happens if I lose signal on the course?
Keep playing. Scores save on your phone and sync automatically when the signal comes back.
Who can confirm my scorecard?
Another player in your group. Guests cannot confirm because they have no account, but they can be confirmed. A player who signs up later can confirm.
Handicap
Is my GolfStyle handicap official?
Not yet. GolfStyle calculates your index with World Handicap System rules, but it is not an officially issued Handicap Index. It is built for a fair game with your group.
Why does my round not count for handicap yet?
A round counts after another player in your group confirms your scorecard. Ask a playing partner to confirm it.
When does my new index apply?
From the next day. Rounds you play today still use the index in effect at the start of the day.
Account and privacy
How do I reset my password?
On the sign-in screen, tap Forgot password and enter your email. We will send you a reset link. This applies to accounts created with email.
How do I delete my account?
Settings > Account > Delete Account. Your personal data is removed and your account is anonymized. Rounds shared with other players stay, and they see you as Deleted player. This cannot be undone. Learn more
How do I turn off notifications?
In Settings, turn off push notifications. You can also manage notifications in your phone settings.
