The Full Event, Step by Step
Each stage below is what a typical group or tournament goes through. Most steps take seconds — the rest run themselves.
Create the Event
The organizer opens ETS, picks a date and course, and chooses a format (stroke, Stableford, best ball, scramble, individual or team). Recurring weekly games can be cloned in two clicks.
Signups & Communication
Every player gets a link. Tap to sign up. Signed up already? One tap to drop out — a waitlisted player is bumped in automatically. No reply‑all, no “who’s playing?” texts.
- Blast to signed‑up players (tap to unsign)
- Blast to not‑signed‑up (tap to join)
- Automatic reminders the day before
- Send the day before (or anytime)
- Who’s in, foursomes, hole assignments
- Individual or team signups supported
GHIN & Playing Handicap by Tees
ETS pulls each player’s current Handicap Index from GHIN and calculates Playing Handicap by the tees they’re playing. Somebody moves from Blue to White at the first tee? Recalculated on the spot — no scratching out scorecards.
Live Scoring — Gross Only
Players enter only the gross score for each hole. Net, Stableford, standings, and the live leaderboard all update automatically. Less to type, less to mess up.
Faster entry, fewer mistakes.
No spreadsheet math.
Everyone sees the same board.
Results & Payouts — The Moment Scoring Closes
When the last player enters the last score, payouts are already done. Place, skins, dots — calculated in real time. Results are published to the group, saved in event history, and (optionally) posted to GHIN hole‑by‑hole.
