Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I log a round?

    Go to the Rounds page and click "Log New Round". Enter the course name, your score, and any optional details like front/back 9 scores, playing partners, or notes.

  • Can I edit a round after saving it?

    Yes! On the Rounds page, click on any round card to open it, then click the "Edit" button to modify any details.

  • Can I mark a round as a scramble or exclude it from averages?

    Yes. Edit the round and use the "Round classification" checkboxes. "Scramble / team format" and "Practice / casual" keep the scorecard visible but remove it from score averages, LazyCap, leaderboards, and achievements. Use "Other format / exclude from stats" for best ball, skins, mulligans, other formats, or data-entry mistakes.

  • How do I delete multiple rounds at once?

    On the Rounds page, check the boxes next to the rounds you want to delete, then click "Delete Selected" in the action bar that appears.

  • What statistics are tracked?

    We track total rounds, average score, best/worst scores, score trends over time, and if you enter them: GIR%, FIR%, putts per round, and scoring breakdown (birdies, pars, bogeys, etc.).

  • How do I export my data?

    Go to your Profile page and click "Export as JSON" for all your data, or "Export Rounds as CSV" for just your rounds in spreadsheet format.

  • How do I delete my account?

    Go to your Profile page and use the account deletion controls. Export your data first if you want a personal copy before deletion.

  • Is my data private?

    Your personal rounds and profile controls are private by default. Public, league, tournament, and community surfaces only show information tied to those shared workflows and visibility settings.

  • What is included for free?

    Free golfers can track rounds, see basic stats, use LazyCap, manage basic social/group activity, and create basic one-off tournaments. Paid prompts should only appear where a Pro or Commissioner feature is relevant.

  • What does Pro add?

    Pro is for personal game improvement. It adds deeper stats, richer history, range and practice insights, and other advanced golfer tools without changing basic scorekeeping.

  • What does Commissioner add?

    Commissioner is for league organizers. It covers league setup, member management, seasons, events, standings, league-scoped tools, and league-run tournaments.

  • Are tournaments free?

    Basic one-off tournaments are free for signed-in users. League-run tournaments are part of Commissioner value because they use league management tools.

  • What are keyboard shortcuts?

    Press "?" anywhere to see all available keyboard shortcuts. For example, "g r" goes to Rounds, "n" opens a new round form, and "/" focuses the search.

  • Do I need a LazyCap to use Lazy Golfing?

    No! While you can track your LazyCap in your profile, it's not required. Lazy Golfing is designed for casual "cart golf" tracking. Our LazyCap system will calculate your LazyCap automatically from your rounds.
