Majors
A Major is a named day your organiser schedules, where the confirmed field’s scores, blunders and GC points count double and the winner goes on the honour roll.
Opting in
When a Major is scheduled, Home shows its card: the name, the date, the course and who’s in so far. Tap I’m in or Can’t make it. Once you’ve answered, it moves to the bell at the top of the screen, where you can change your mind with Pull out or I’m in (see Notifications). In the last week, a countdown strip comes back to Home. Missing a Major costs you nothing.
Match day
Before the first group tees off, your organiser confirms who’s actually there. A Major needs 60% of the group’s active players, rounded up: 3 of 4, 3 of 5, 4 of 6. When they tap Confirm — it’s ON ×2, it’s locked in and Home shows the ×2 ON banner. Late arrivals can still be added. If the numbers don’t come, the organiser moves the Major or cancels it, and rounds count as normal.
On the banner, 📣 Announce the tee-off order steps your group through the tee-off order: bottom of the GC race first, and the leader tees off last.
What doubles
For a confirmed player’s comp round at the Major’s course that day:
- Your scoring and your blunders.
- Your Home Turf result.
- Your GC points: a beat is worth 6, a survive 2, and a trigger costs 6.
- Side games, when everyone you’re playing them with is in the confirmed field.
Raids stay single. A waved Double Flag doesn’t stack: it waits for your next normal round. A Major round can’t be a mulligan.
Winning a Major
The best stableford in the field wins. A tie goes to countback: the better last nine played, then the lower net score on the last hole played, then the most net birdies, then the fewest net bogeys or worse. Still level, they’re co-champions. The result is posted to the group and goes on the honour roll in Group Stats under MAJOR CHAMPIONS. At Award Night, every Major title earns chips.
Good to know
What counts as a Major round?
A comp round at the Major’s course on the Major’s day, played by someone in the confirmed field.
Do I lose anything if I miss one?
No. You just watch everyone else play for double.
Who plays with who?
Your organiser can run a random draw that splits the field into groups of three or four. A field of five goes three and two, and four or fewer play as one group.
When is the champion crowned?
When the organiser closes the Major, or automatically the next time someone opens the app after the day.
How many Majors are there?
As many as your organiser schedules. The app suggests two to four a season.
