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.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Al, the solo dev behind Settle Up Golf.
This started with a problem every group of golf buddies knows. My friends and I have a standing weekly game with a Nassau, presses, skins, and the occasional Wolf. And every round ended the same way — we'd get to the locker room or the bar and nobody actually felt like adding up the scores. If we were in a multi-group game, it was even worse: someone yelling out the low score on each hole, trying to figure out who got a skin, while everyone else just wanted to order a beer. Most of us ended up at "just tell me what I owe."
I looked for an app that just *handled this*. The closest options all had the same problems: the basics were free but the bet formats you actually need were locked behind a paywall, the UIs were slow and clunky, and entering a score took way too many taps. None of them felt built by someone who actually plays money golf with their friends.
So I spent about five weeks of nights and weekends building one. A few things I tried to get right:
- **Speed.** The app is fast. No loading spinners between holes.
- **Scoring without the keyboard popup.** Tap to enter scores — no number pad sliding up, no extra confirm step. You can score a hole in under a second.
- **What you need, up front.** The current bet, the running total, who's up — visible on every screen. No drilling into menus to remember what you're playing for.
- **Real bet formats out of the gate.** Nassau, Skins, Wolf, Match Play, Stroke, Stableford, Best Ball, and more — all included, all configurable.
- **Auto-everything.** Presses, carryovers, payouts — handled automatically. The app finishes with a one-tap Venmo deep-link so the loser actually pays up before he forgets.
A few things I'd love feedback on:
- If you play money golf — what bet formats do I still need to add?
- Anything in the onboarding or scoring flow that felt clunky?
- What would make this a no-brainer to use every round?
