No. Players scan the QR code or tap the link and the calculator opens in their phone's web browser. There's nothing to install and no login.
Where do the course and slope ratings come from?
When you set up your calculator we fill in the Course Rating, Slope Rating and Par for each tee from our course database. You can check and edit every value before you save, or enter them manually.
Who can make changes to our calculator?
When you create the calculator you add your email address to take ownership. Only you can then edit tees, branding, local rules and course information.
Can we put the calculator on our own website?
Yes. Every calculator has an embed snippet you can copy into your website. Any changes you make to colours, tees or rules show up on the embedded version automatically.
Does it replace our printed scorecards and course guide?
No. It's designed to sit alongside them, covering the information that changes more often, such as handicaps by tee and format, local rules and temporary notices.
