Frequently Asked Questions

How do I start a new round?

From the main screen, tap Start New Round, then choose your course and players. You can add new courses or players directly from those screens if you haven't already.

How does the 6/6/6 game work? New

6/6/6 (also called "Sixes" or "Round Robin") is a four-player game played over 18 holes split into three 6-hole segments. Your partner rotates each segment, so you team up with each of the other three players once:

• Holes 1–6: Player 1 & 2 vs. Player 3 & 4
• Holes 7–12: Player 1 & 3 vs. Player 2 & 4
• Holes 13–18: Player 1 & 4 vs. Player 2 & 3

Each segment is its own best-ball match — the lower net score of the two partners wins the hole — played for a flat bet, with the winning side splitting the pot. 6/6/6 requires exactly four players.

How do I set the playing order and partners? New

Open Players and select the Lineup tab. Everyone listed there is in the current round. Drag and drop to set the order. That order is used to seed games that depend on it — Wolf's captain rotation, and the 6/6/6 partner pairings shown above (the four players become Player 1 through Player 4 from top to bottom).

Where can I see past rounds? New

Finished rounds are saved automatically. Open the History tab to browse previous rounds and tap any one to see the full scorecard and game results. Detailed Stats and trends are part of SidePot Golf Pro.

Can I play Stableford for money? New

Yes. In Stableford settings, enable the money game. Payouts use a relative-quota ("vs. the field") format: each player has a quota — by default 36 − handicap — and you settle on points scored above or below quota. You can also set a flat quota for everyone or a per-player override.

How does voice score entry work?

On the score entry screen, tap the microphone button and speak the score (e.g., "five" or "birdie"). SidePot Golf transcribes the score on your device — audio is not sent to any server.

How do I share live scores with other players?

SidePot Golf supports live score sharing over Wi-Fi using Apple's Multipeer Connectivity. On the scorekeeper's device, toggle Live Sharing in Settings. On other devices, switch to Viewer Mode to follow along in real time. All devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network — nothing is sent over the internet.

I purchased Pro but it shows as locked. How do I restore it?

Open the Pro Upgrade screen and tap Restore Purchases. Make sure you're signed in to the same Apple ID that made the original purchase.

How do I add my home golf course?

On the course picker screen, tap Add a New Course at the bottom. Enter the course name, par for each hole, and (optionally) the handicap rank for each hole. You can also share courses with friends via export/import in Settings.

What side games are supported?

SidePot Golf supports:

• Nassau — Front 9, Back 9, and Overall match play with auto-presses
• Skins — Win each hole outright
• Wolf — Rotate captains, choose partners or go solo
• 6/6/6 — Foursome game in three 6-hole segments with rotating partners

• Four-Ball — 2v2 best-ball match
• Scramble — Team format

Can I back up or share my data?

You can export both Players and Courses from the Settings tab as JSON files. Save them to iCloud Drive or Files, or share them with friends. Re-import via the same Settings options — duplicates are automatically skipped.

You can also share an individual round's scores or a scorecard image straight from the round screen using the share button — send them via AirDrop, Messages, or any app in the share sheet.

Does SidePot Golf collect any personal data?

No. SidePot Golf does not collect, track, or transmit personal data. Everything you enter — scores, players, courses, and game results — stays on your device. See our Privacy summary below, or the full Privacy Policy.
