Live scoring · Golf
Live scoring, instant leaderboards and effortless tournament management — all from the course.
Start a tournament with just a name, a date, a format, and a par. Add the field — players or teams — and assign tee times and starting holes right from one screen. No import templates, no training spreadsheet, no IT ticket. If you can add a name, you can run the day.
No more chasing paper at the turn. Players and scorers enter each hole as it's played, and Chase Birdies keeps the running total vs. par for you — so everyone sees the moment someone goes 3 under. Made a mistake? Every score stays editable, any time, until the card is final.
The public leaderboard updates live and sorts itself — leader on top, the field below, totals vs. par in real time. No special app, no account needed to watch. Point people at the link and let the day run itself.
Most tournament scoring software is built for facilities, not for the person who just wants to run one good outing. Chase Birdies prices the way golf actually works — $1 per player, paid once, no subscription and no minimum.
