General

What is GameDay Pro?

GameDay Pro is a mobile-first golf game management platform that helps organizers run golf games, leagues, golf trips, recurring member games, and quick matches from one place. It helps manage participation, game setup, pairings, teams, scoring, results, standings, communication, and player engagement.

Who is GameDay Pro for?

GameDay Pro is built for golf organizers and players, including private club member-game organizers, public course league managers, recurring golf groups, golf trip captains, golf associations, outings, and players who participate in organized games.

What problem does GameDay Pro solve?

GameDay Pro replaces the inefficient, scattered way group golf games and leagues are often organized today — texts, emails, spreadsheets, paper scorecards, manual pairings, and post-round scoring and settlement — with a cleaner, app-based workflow.

It helps answer the key game-day questions in one place: who’s playing, what game is being played, who’s paired with whom, how scores are entered, and who won.

Is GameDay Pro right for us?

If your group runs recurring games, leagues, trips, or events and currently relies on texts, emails, spreadsheets, paper scorecards, or manual coordination, GameDay Pro is likely a great fit.

Is GameDay Pro only for private clubs?

No. GameDay Pro can be used by private clubs, public courses, independent golf groups, leagues, buddy groups, travel groups, golf trips, golf tournaments, and casual recurring games.

Is GameDay Pro a replacement for Golf Genius?

Not exactly. Golf Genius is generally a pro-shop or tournament-administration system. GameDay Pro is designed for player-run and organizer-run games, leagues, and recurring golf groups where golfers need a simpler and more streamlined mobile-first way to manage participation, pairings, scoring, and results.

Do players need to download the app?

Yes. Players use the app to register, accept invitations, join clubs or games, confirm whether they are playing, view game details, enter scores, and see results or standings.

How to Get Started

How do I get started with GameDay Pro as an organizer?

The basic organizer flow is simple: download the app, register for an account, create a Club, invite members, create games or leagues, let players confirm whether they are playing, create groups or pairings, start the game, collect scores, and view results or standings in the app.

How do I register for GameDay Pro?

Download the GameDay Pro app and follow the sign-up steps. Once registered, you can create a Club, join a Club, participate in games, or manage games if you have organizer permissions.

What is a Club in GameDay Pro?

A Club is the organizer-managed space where members, games, leagues, settings, pairings, scoring, and results are managed. A Club can represent a private club group, public course league, recurring golf group, travel group, buddy group, or other organized golf community.

How do I create a Club?

After logging in, go to the Clubs area of the app and select Create Club. Enter the club name and optional description, then save the Club. Once the Club is created, go to the Club Details area, select Club Members, and send invitations by entering each player’s name and mobile phone number or using the other available invite options. Players can then accept the invitation, register or log in, and join the Club.

Who can create a Club?

Anyone can create a Club. The person who creates the Club typically becomes the Club administrator and can invite members, assign roles, create games, and manage Club settings.

How do I invite members to a Club?

Club Admins invite members through the app by mobile phone number. Go to the Club Details area, select Club Members, and send invitations by entering each player’s name and mobile phone number or using the other available invite options. Once a player accepts the invitation, they can register or log in and join the Club.

Can I bulk-invite members?

Yes. GameDay Pro supports member uploads using Microsoft Excel files formatted with First Name, Last Name, and Mobile Phone Number. For help with bulk uploads, contact support@gamedaypro.io.

How do players join a Club?

Players join a Club by accepting an invitation from a Club administrator. Once accepted, the player can view Club details and participate in games or leagues connected to that Club.

Can a player use GameDay Pro without creating a Club?

Yes. Players can join an existing Club by accepting an invitation. Players do not need to create their own Club unless they want to organize and manage games or leagues themselves.

Can I belong to multiple Clubs?

Yes. A player can belong to multiple Clubs, games, and leagues at the same time.

Creating Games

How do I create a game?

Admins and Managers create games from within a Club. Select the Club, choose Recurring, One-Time, or Leagues, then select Add Game or Add League and enter the game details.

Typical setup includes the game or league name, schedule, course, format, tee options, and team configuration. Once saved, Club members will be notified and can join the game or league.

Who can create games?

Admins and Managers can create and run Club games. Regular Members can create Quick Matches, which are designed for smaller, faster games that do not require the full Club admin workflow.

Can GameDay Pro support recurring games?

Yes. GameDay Pro is designed for recurring games such as weekly member games, standing buddy games, and seasonal competitions.

Can I create a one-time game?

Yes. GameDay Pro can be used for one-time events, special games, outings, scrambles, trips, or individual competitions.

Can I edit a game after creating it?

Yes. Organizers can edit some game details, including date, time, tee options, and format. Some settings will become restricted after a game has started to protect scoring integrity.

Can I add or remove players after a game is created and groups are set?

Yes. Organizers can manage late additions, dropouts, and substitutes. Changes can only be made before the game starts and before final teams or pairings are locked.

Is there a limit to how many players can join a game?

Game size depends on the setup chosen by the organizer. GameDay Pro is designed to support everything from small groups to larger events with many players.

Creating Leagues

Can GameDay Pro support leagues?

Yes. GameDay Pro is designed to support golf leagues, including player management, scheduling, divisions or flights, game setup, scoring, results tracking, and standings.

How do I create a league?

Create or select a Club, select Leagues from the Club Details screen, then create the league structure inside that Club. From there, set up the league schedule, invite or assign players, choose formats, configure divisions or flights if needed, and create the individual games or rounds that make up the league season.

Can a league have multiple games or rounds?

Yes. Leagues can be organized as a series of games or rounds with results and standings tracked over time.

Can leagues use different formats each week?

Not in the initial version of GameDay Pro. GameDay Pro assumes the format is the same week to week.

Can leagues have divisions or flights?

Yes. Organizers can define divisions or flights based on the structure of the league, such as handicap range, skill level, team assignment, age group, or other criteria.

Can GameDay Pro track standings?

Yes. GameDay Pro is designed to support standings for leagues, recurring games, and season-long competitions.

Players and Participation

How do players join a game?

Players join a game by responding to a game notification or by opening the GameDay Pro app. From the home page, players can view upcoming games and leagues, select the game they want to join, and tap I’m Playing.

How do players confirm whether they are playing?

Players can confirm in the app by selecting I’m Playing or Not Playing. They may also receive a game-day notification that takes them directly to the confirmation screen.

Can players change their response?

Yes. Players should update their status as soon as possible if they can no longer play or if they become available after declining.

What does the organizer see after players respond?

The organizer sees a confirmed player list, which can then be used to create groups, teams, pairings, tee assignments, and scoring setup.

Can players see game details?

Yes. Players can view game details in the app, including date, time, course, format, notes, teams, pairings, and tee information depending on the game setup.

Can players see their teams and pairings?

Yes. Once teams or pairings are created, players can view their assigned group, match, team, tee time, or tee position in the app.

What happens if I can’t make the game after I’ve confirmed?

Update your status in the app as soon as possible so organizers can adjust groups, teams, or pairings.

Roles and Permissions

What are the main user roles in GameDay Pro?

GameDay Pro has three main roles: Admins, Managers, and Members.

Admins manage Clubs, members, games, settings, advertisements, subscriptions, and other organizer-level functions. Managers can create and run games, manage game details, and assist with game operations. Members can confirm participation, view game details, view pairings, enter scores, see results, and create Quick Matches.

Can multiple organizers manage the same Club?

Yes. A Club can have multiple Admins and Managers so responsibility can be shared across the group.

How do I give another organizer access?

An Admin can assign the appropriate role or permission level to Club members.

How do I prevent players from editing things they shouldn’t?

Player permissions are limited by default. Organizers control the game structure, settings, pairings, scoring, and results.

Game Formats

What game formats does GameDay Pro support?

GameDay Pro is designed to support a range of golf formats, including individual games, team games, skins, best ball, scrambles, match play, Nassau, league games, recurring games, one-time events, Quick Matches, and golf trip formats. Available formats may vary by release.

Can games be individual or team-based?

Yes. Games can be individual, team-based, fixed-team, rotating-team, or mixed depending on the selected format. Available formats may vary by release.

Can GameDay Pro support match play and stroke play?

Yes. GameDay Pro supports common competitive formats, including match play and stroke play configurations, depending on the game setup.

Can GameDay Pro manage skins games?

Yes. GameDay Pro supports skins games, including skins formats, skins pools, scoring, results, and settlement workflows where applicable.

What if our game does not fit a preset format?

GameDay Pro is designed to mirror how golf groups actually play. Organizers can use available presets and configuration options. If a specific format is not available, confirm it with the GameDay Pro team before promising support.

Groups, Teams, and Pairings

How do organizers form groups or teams?

After players confirm participation, organizers can create groups, teams, or pairings based on the game format. Depending on the format, teams can be set manually or configured based on the game setup. Organizers retain control and can make adjustments when needed.

Can organizers override teams or pairings?

Yes. Organizers can manually adjust teams, groups, or pairings if corrections or changes are needed.

How do I change teams or pairings after a game is created?

You can edit teams or groups before the game starts, if needed. Some changes may become restricted after the game starts to protect scoring integrity.

How do I handle late additions or dropouts?

Organizers can manage late additions, dropouts, and substitutes before the game starts and before final groups or pairings are locked.

How do I handle substitutes?

Substitutes can be added as players and assigned to teams or groups as needed, subject to the game status and organizer permissions.

Scoring and Results

How does score entry work?

Once the organizer starts the game, players can enter scores directly from the digital scorecard. Players enter gross scores. In net games, GameDay Pro applies the appropriate handicap adjustments based on the game setup.

Who enters scores?

Players can enter their own scores, or a designated player may enter scores for the group depending on the game setup and organizer instructions.

Can organizers correct scores?

Not currently. Today, scores can only be changed by players within the group. Game managers should review all scorecards carefully and make sure they are satisfied that the scores are accurate before ending the match in the system.

Can players correct a score-entry mistake?

Players are able to update a score entry in the app depending on the game status. Corrections cannot be made after scoring is locked and the match has "ended".

Does GameDay Pro calculate results?

Yes. GameDay Pro calculates and displays results based on the selected game format, scoring rules, and player or team performance.

Can players see live results?

Yes. Where enabled, live scoring and results allow players to see where things stand during the round.

What happens after the round?

Once scores are entered and finalized, results are displayed in the app. For leagues or recurring games, results may also feed into standings or season-long tracking.

Can GameDay Pro track payouts or settlements?

GameDay Pro tracks competition results and outcomes. Where applicable, those results may support settlement between players. GameDay Pro is a competition and results-management tool, not a gambling platform.

What if we want to keep historical results?

Results remain accessible for organizers and players after each game, subject to the app’s available results and history features.

Handicaps and Players Without a USGA Handicap Index

Handicaps and Players Without a USGA Handicap Index®

Does GameDay Pro support handicaps?

Yes. GameDay Pro supports handicap-based scoring for supported gross and net formats. Until the USGA integration is completed, players are responsible for entering and maintaining their current handicap information in their GameDay Pro profile.

How are Handicap Indexes® handled?

Players will be able to link their GameDay Pro profile to the USGA so their Handicap Index® can be maintained automatically in GameDay Pro. Until the USGA integration is completed, players are responsible for entering and maintaining their current handicap in their GameDay Pro profile. GameDay Pro uses the handicap information saved in the player’s profile for supported net scoring formats.

How do I update my handicap?

Open your GameDay Pro profile by going to Settings using the gear icon, review your handicap information, and update it as needed. Keeping your profile current helps ensure net games, strokes, and results are calculated using the correct handicap information.

Does GameDay Pro automatically update my Handicap Index® from the USGA?

Not yet, but it soon will. USGA integration is in the works. Until that integration is completed, players must manually maintain their handicap information in their GameDay Pro profile.

Do players need an official USGA Handicap Index® to play?

No. Players do not need an official USGA Handicap Index® to participate in GameDay Pro. Players without a USGA Handicap Index® can still participate in gross games, where no handicap strokes are applied.

Can players without a USGA Handicap Index® play in net games?

In the future, a valid USGA Handicap Index® will be required to participate in net games. Until the USGA integration is completed, organizers may allow players to participate in net games using manually maintained handicap information in the player’s GameDay Pro profile.

What can players do if they do not have a USGA Handicap Index®?

Players without a USGA Handicap Index® can still participate in gross games, where no handicap is applied. Players who want to establish a USGA Handicap Index® can learn more and get started through the USGA at getahandicap.usga.org.

Can a player without a handicap win a net game?

Net games require handicap strokes. Until the USGA integration is completed, eligibility for net results may depend on whether the organizer allows manually maintained handicap information from a player’s GameDay Pro profile. In the future, a valid USGA Handicap Index® will be required to compete for net results.

What does “playing net at scratch” mean?

Playing net at scratch means the player participates in a net game but receives no handicap strokes. Their net score is the same as their gross score.

Can GameDay Pro support both gross and net games?

Yes. GameDay Pro supports gross and net scoring depending on the format and setup chosen by the organizer.

Courses and Tees

Can players use different tees in the same game?

Yes. GameDay Pro supports players using different tees in the same game or league.

What if different tees have different pars?

That is expected. GameDay Pro is designed to score players based on the tee they are playing, especially in formats where par matters.

Which formats are affected by different pars?

Formats that score relative to par may be affected, including Stableford, Quota or Points games, stroke play to par, skins to par, and birdie- or bonus-based games. In those formats, par is applied based on each player’s tee.

Which formats are not usually affected by different pars?

Formats such as gross stroke play, net stroke play, match play, best ball, scramble, and alternate shot generally do not depend on a single shared course par in the same way.

How does this work in team games?

Team scoring is built from individual player results. Each player’s score is calculated correctly based on their tee and the game format, and team results are then created from those individual scores.

What does the organizer need to do for mixed tees?

The organizer should make sure each player’s tee is set correctly before the round. No extra configuration is required unless the Club or league has its own tee restrictions.

Should I restrict everyone to the same tee?

Only if your Club or league requires it. Most groups can allow mixed tees, and GameDay Pro is designed to support that setup.

Why does one player’s “par” look different than another’s?

Because they may be playing from different tees. GameDay Pro can show each player’s tee, par, and score relative to that par when the format requires it.

Will mixed tees affect handicaps or net scoring?

No. Net scoring and handicap strokes are calculated using each player’s tee information, which helps account for tee differences.

Communication and Notifications

Can GameDay Pro send reminders to players?

Yes. GameDay Pro can send game-day reminders and participation prompts to players.

Can organizers send messages or announcements?

Yes. Organizers can send broadcast messages to all Club members, players participating in a specific game or league, or players who are not participating in a specific game or league. These messages can be used for weather delays, tee time changes, format changes, reminders, or other general updates.

Can players reply to organizer announcements?

Messaging is one-way. Players can receive updates, but replies are not part of the broadcast message workflow.

Is there a confirmation cutoff?

Confirmation is cut off when organizers begin to configure teams and groups, unless the organizer overrides participation based on the game setup and status.

What should a player do if they did not receive a notification?

The player should confirm that the correct mobile number is associated with their account, check blocked or spam settings, and verify that they have not opted out of SMS messages. If the issue continues, contact support@gamedaypro.io.

How does a player stop receiving SMS messages?

Players can reply STOP to opt out of SMS messages. They can reply START to re-subscribe or HELP for assistance.

Pricing and Subscriptions

Is GameDay Pro free?

GameDay Pro is free to download. Clubs of four or fewer players can use it for free. Larger Clubs require a subscription based on the anticipated size of the group.

Do players pay individually?

Invited players generally do not pay individually to join a subscribed Club. The Club creator or administrator manages the subscription for the group.

Who needs a subscription?

Organizers need a subscription when creating and managing larger Clubs, games, members, and leagues. Small Clubs of four or fewer players can use GameDay Pro for free.

What happens if my Club grows?

If a Club grows beyond its selected tier, the organizer may be able to add players individually or move to a larger subscription tier.

Is there an early-access program?

Yes. GameDay Pro is actively onboarding early users and offering promotional pricing in exchange for feedback.

Payments, Ads, and Sponsorships

Does GameDay Pro handle payments?

Payment handling is supported for certain use cases, with continued expansion planned. Any specific payment workflow should be confirmed with the GameDay Pro team.

Can clubs or leagues use sponsors or ads?

Yes. GameDay Pro is designed to support sponsorship and advertising opportunities, giving Clubs, leagues, and organizers potential ways to offset costs or generate revenue.

What types of promotions could be shown?

Examples may include league sponsors, local businesses, club events, pro shop specials, food and beverage offers, instruction programs, outing sponsors, or partner promotions.

Does GameDay Pro use in-app advertising?

It can. Ads and sponsorships must comply with the GameDay Pro Advertising Policy. GameDay Pro may remove any ad at its discretion.

Quick Matches

What is a Quick Match?

A Quick Match is a simplified game that allows individual players or small groups to quickly set up a game, enter scores, and determine results without using the full Club admin workflow.

Who can create Quick Matches?

Members can create Quick Matches. Quick Matches are the only game type regular players can create and run without Admin or Manager permissions.

How many players can use a Quick Match?

Quick Matches are designed for single groups of 2 to 5 players.

Golf Trips and Events

Can GameDay Pro help with golf trips?

Yes. GameDay Pro can help golf trip organizers manage players, rounds, teams, formats, pairings, scoring, results, and standings across multiple games.

Can GameDay Pro handle multi-round events?

This is in development. GameDay Pro is designed to support organized play across multiple games or rounds, which is useful for golf trips, leagues, and season-long competitions.

Can GameDay Pro support Ryder Cup-style events?

Ryder Cup-style support is part of the product direction. If a specific Ryder Cup workflow is needed, confirm current availability with the GameDay Pro team before promising it as a current feature.

Technical and Support

What devices are supported?

GameDay Pro is mobile-first and works on modern smartphones and tablets.

Is my data secure?

GameDay Pro follows standard best practices for data security and privacy. Users should refer to GameDay Pro’s published privacy, terms, SMS, advertising, and legal policies for official details.

Where can I get help?

For support, contact support@gamedaypro.io.

What should I include when reporting a bug?

Include a clear description of the issue, screenshots if available, the game date and time, the Club or game name, the device being used, and the steps that led to the issue.

Do you offer onboarding support?

Yes. Subscribers may receive onboarding support by request to help set up Clubs, invite members, create games, and match GameDay Pro to their existing workflow.

Where are policies and legal terms?

All legal documents are available on the Legal page.

Roadmap and Future Features

What is currently part of the core GameDay Pro workflow?

The current core workflow includes registration, Club creation, roles, member invitations, game creation, game-day notifications, participation confirmation, confirmed player lists, groups or pairings, score entry, results display, and basic subscription structure.

What features are planned or future-facing?

Planned or future-facing areas include improved game setup, enhanced notifications, better in-app tips, tutorial flows, expanded league management, advertising tools, sponsor placements, reporting, automatic team generation, advanced leaderboards, handicap-based grouping, payout automation, payment support, trip management, tournament templates, and AI-assisted features.

Are tee sheet or POS integrations currently available?

Tee sheet and POS integrations are roadmap items. They should be described as planned or future integrations unless the GameDay Pro team confirms current availability.

Will GameDay Pro expand beyond golf?

Expansion beyond golf is part of the broader product direction, but GameDay Pro’s current product focus is golf game management.

Common “What If?” Questions

What if some players are not comfortable with apps?

Players only need to complete simple actions: register, confirm whether they are playing, view game details, enter scores, and see results. Players do not have to manage the game setup, and organizers can manage most of the structure centrally.

What if a player forgets to confirm?

The organizer can view who has responded and who has not. The organizer can follow up or manually add the player depending on Club rules.

What if someone drops out late?

The organizer can update the player list and adjust groups, teams, or pairings as needed before the game starts and before final assignments are locked.

What if our league does not fit neatly into a preset format?

GameDay Pro is designed to mirror how golf groups actually play. Organizers can use supported formats and configuration options. If a specific format is not documented, confirm it with the GameDay Pro team.

What if we play different formats every week?

One-time games can be configured independently. For leagues, the initial version assumes the format is the same week to week.

What if we need help getting started?

GameDay Pro provides onboarding and guidance by request to help organizers match the app to their workflow. Contact support@gamedaypro.io.

What if a feature is not listed here?

Please contact the GameDay Pro team to confirm feature availability.
