About ScoreLynx
ScoreLynx is native iPhone/iPad application that gives golfers a live leader board during golf tournaments, golf outings, or casual multi-foursome rounds. For the competitive golfer or golf team captains, having the ability to know where you stand in the tournament at any point in time can be the difference between winning and losing in your event.
ScoreLynx setup for tournaments or multi-foursome play is fast and easy. Just create a unique "group name", then create a new game for their group. When the game is created you define the game type (several common games are available), skins type, course (you can easily create a custom course if your course is not available yet), and the tees to be played.
You can also setup the game/skins payouts by specify the per player ante for each. For games you can setup the percent payout for each place your game pays off. The app will compute all your game and skins payouts and list each players payout amount. So when all the players scores are in, all that's left is to divide up the money and congratulate the winners.
Users designated as their team's score keeper setup their foursome in much the same way they would on a paper score card. They add a team, and then add players to the team. Then hit "Start Scoring" and you'll see the leaderboard. By turning the device sideways a scorecard appears that allows a score keeper to enter each player's hole by hole gross score. The application figures out your net depending on the game type being played.
Turning the phone back to portrait returns you to the leaderboard. The leaderboard is automatically refreshed as other players scores are posted. The leaderboard can be viewed by team, player, skins or payouts. Tapping a player on the leaderboard opens that players "mini" scorecard so you can see any players hole by hole gross and net scores.
That’s it! It’s simple and easy to use, but will make you feel like a pro as you play through your round always knowing where you stand relative to the field.
To tryout ScoreLynx you can use the generic group name of "Demo". Choose an existing game there or create a new one. Enter your own teams and players and then checkout the leaderboard. Try posting some sample scores.

Mar 12, 2018
Moved send message function to the Settings menu.
Added an About ScoreLynx view to Settings.
Added several new options when creating a game:
- Show Notifications - controls whether the game will send out push notifications when a player scores a birdie or better.
- Show Pace Of Play - controls whether the game will show the pace of play indicators (turtles) on the leaderboard.
- Show Leaderboard - controls whether the game will show the leaderboard results. NOTE: this can be used in matches where you don't want the field to see the leaderboard while the match is ongoing. In this case you can create the game with the leaderboard turned off and then after all players have posted for all holes in the round, update the game to turn the leaderboard on.
- Show Skins - similar to "Show Leaderboard" option except applies to the games Skins results.
- Show Payouts - similar to the "Show Leaderboard" option except applies to Payout results.
- Use Group Handicaps - This will cause ScoreLynx to compute a handicap solely based on previous scores entered for players in your ScoreLynx group. This is invoked when a player is added to a team. The handicap populated for that player is the ScoreLynx computed one. The person adding the player is free to change the handicap after the fact, this only provides you handicap guidance. The rationale though is this will give you handicaps that are based on what the player's performance in your repeating competitions that are recorded in ScoreLynx.
- Multi Course Game - This indicates that game created is part of a set of games that are played across different course/tees. This is useful if you have players playing from different tee boxes but in the same competition. This will use the proper hole handicaps, slope and rating for the course being played. Visit scorelynx.com for more information on how to setup this type of tournament.

Added a Pace of Play indicator to the leaderboard. The indicator will show you when a player has posted a hole but their post time is slower than the nominal pace of play of 14 1/2 minutes per hole (based on 4 hours and 20 minutes for an 18 hole round of golf). The indicator is a turtle emoji. If the post time is 10 minutes beyond nominal pace of play but less than 20, one turtle is shown. If the pace is 20 minutes or longer slower than nominal pace of play than two turtles are shown. On subsequent postings if the post time comes back in line, the turtles are removed.

Faster is better. Changes in this version streamline setting up and/or creating a game. ScoreLynx now remembers your previous entries, so the next time you start or create a game, your previous entries will be pre loaded. Also on adding a new player or team when tapping "Done" ScoreLynx will automatically try to add the player or team using all the current entries (saves you one tap).

This version adds a slide out menu to access the new "Settings" page. From the Settings page you can change the application color Theme. There are 3 available themes: Original, which is the familiar shades of green backgrounds and accents; Black on White, which displays all pages in a simple white or gray accented background, with black text; White on Black which displays white text on black backgrounds. The more vanilla color schemes work nicely in bright sunshine or if a user has green sensitive color blindness. Also on the Settings page is an option for changing the text size. Three settings are available; Small, Medium, and Large. The font sizes can be further controlled using the standard Accessibility feature for font size control found in Apple's Settings app. The slide out menu can be access using the "hamburger" icon, or by swiping.

ScoreLynx has been completely rewritten to bring it up to current standards and also to improve and simplify the user experience. ScoreLynx is now much easier for new users to join existing games. It also removes a lot of the old limitations that prevented games from being easily scored by other players if the original scorer discontinued scoring.
ScoreLynx still provides both scorers and watchers access to the games live leaderboard results and score entry for those keeping player scores.
While ScoreLynx is still a free app, if you do want to score for more than one player you will need to agree to an in-app purchase of an annual subscription.
