Parful vs ParUp Golf

Parful runs the whole society season, not just the round

Both score a round and keep a leaderboard. Parful goes further for the secretary: groups and tee times built from the entry list, the tee sheet sent to the host course, knockouts on a public bracket, an order of merit that counts each member’s best rounds, and the dinner sheets printed at the end of the season. Nobody has to download anything.

Nothing to download, nobody left out

Parful runs in the phone’s web browser. Members sign up for fixtures from the society’s page, and each group’s scorer opens the card from a QR code, PIN or link, with no app to install and no account to create. The live leaderboard is a link, so the members who are not playing follow the round too.

The season takes care of itself

Close out a fixture once and everything moves: the day’s prizes resolve, the order of merit updates, handicaps revise and the results go live on the society’s page while everyone is still at the bar.

The order of merit can count each member’s best rounds, so the Sundays everyone misses are forgiven, and divisions run their own races. A singles or doubles knockout runs across the season with its matches settled from the cards. At the end, the prize list, standings and attendance register print for the dinner.

How much does Parful cost for a golf society?

Nothing for a society of up to 16 active members, with no card and no time limit. A bigger society starts on a 30-day full-access trial, then pays $9.99 a monthundefined, one price for the whole society up to 300 members.
