What golf bet formats does no app handle well?
Hey all,
I'm Al, the solo dev behind Settle Up Golf. The app's been live on iOS, Android, and web for a few weeks — I've been quietly testing with my golf league and friends — and on Tuesday I'm doing the official Product Hunt launch. Spending the lead-up listening to people who actually play money golf with their friends.
Quick context on why I built it: every round I played ended with four guys at the bar trying to do mental math while drinking beers, or someone yelling out scores hole-by-hole in a multi-group skins game. I tried every existing app — most lock the formats you actually need behind a paywall, and the ones that don't are slow and clunky to score with.
So I built one that handles Nassau, Skins, Wolf, Match Play, Stroke, Stableford, and Best Ball out of the gate. Auto-tracks presses and carryovers. Ends with a one-tap Venmo deep-link so the loser actually pays before he forgets.
But here's what I want to know from this community before launch:
What bet formats do you and your buddies play that no existing app handles well?
I'm especially curious about:
- Regional or niche games (Bingo Bango Bongo, Hammer, Vegas, Snake, etc.)
- League/season-long formats with running standings
- Multi-group skins and tournament-style payouts
- Anything weird your foursome made up that somehow stuck
I'll read every reply and the best suggestions are going on the roadmap. If you've ever closed an app in frustration trying to track a bet, I want to hear about it.
Tuesday's the official PH launch — would love your support then, but more than that I'd love your input now.
🏌️ Al
