A charity golf tournament lives or dies on the experience. When players are engaged, the leaderboard is buzzing, and sponsors feel seen, people give more — and they come back next year. Yet most outings still run on paper scorecards and a whiteboard in the clubhouse, because the "real" scoring tools are sold as expensive annual course licenses that make every golfer download an app.

It doesn't have to be that way. Here's how to give your charity outing a premium, tech-forward feel — without the cost or the friction.

Why live scoring helps a charity outing raise more

A tournament that feels modern and well-run reflects on your cause. Live scoring turns a quiet round into an event:

• Players stay engaged. A real-time leaderboard gives every group something to chase, all afternoon.
• Sponsors get real visibility. When their name is on the experience players are actually watching, sponsorships are easier to sell — and easier to renew.
• The event feels premium. A polished experience makes attendees more generous and more likely to come back next year.

The catch with most scoring tools

The software built for this is typically sold as a pricey annual course license, requires every player to download an app, and isn't yours to brand or control. For a one-day charity scramble, that's a lot of cost and friction — so many organizers give up and fall back to paper.

A simpler way: tap a link, keep score

Buddies on the Green runs live scoring straight from the browser. There's nothing to install and no accounts to set up:

1. The organizer creates the tournament and adds players by email.
2. Each player taps their invite — no app, no account, no password.
3. Players keep score on their phones while everyone follows the live leaderboard.
4. After the event, results are saved and easy to share with players and sponsors.

Built for charity events

• No app download. Players score right in their phone's browser — nothing to install on the first tee.
• Never locked out. Close the browser or switch phones? One tap on a fresh link puts a player right back on their scorecard — no game-day support headaches.
• Built for scrambles. Team and individual formats, with a "who do you want to play with?" step so golfers request their group and you build teams in seconds.
• Branded for your cause. Your organization's name and logo, front and center.
• Sponsors front and center. Feature sponsor logos and "become a sponsor" packages right on the event page.

Simple, transparent pricing

One flat fee per event based on your field size — no annual license, no per-player charge:

• Up to 36 players — $75
• 37–74 players — $135
• 75–144 players — $225

And players always join for free.
