About this app

Golf is better with your group. SHANKED keeps the score honest.

Live scoring your fourball can follow, a handicap index worked out from your full 18-hole rounds, and a Caddie in your pocket. No pretending you're a tour pro.

WHAT YOU GET
- Live scoring. Everyone scores on their own phone, and your group can follow each other's cards hole by hole.
- Your SHANKED Handicap Index: score differentials, net double bogey, best 8 of 20, soft and hard caps, worked out with WHS rules from full 18-hole rounds. An estimate, not an official England Golf Handicap Index.
- Strokeplay, Stableford and match play, singles or fourball better-ball. Skins with Pro.
- The Caddie. A club for the shot from the distances saved in your bag, with the wind and temperature worked in. Pro adds uphill and downhill.
- GPS distance to the middle of the green, and satellite hole maps, on holes golfers have mapped.
- The Clubhouse. A monthly championship for your crew, a journal of everyone's rounds, and 26 honours to win.
- Stats. Fairways, greens and putts free; estimated strokes gained, saving par and advanced stats with Pro.

GOLF SCORECARD TRACKING IN SECONDS
Golf scorecard tracking should take seconds, not a pencil and an argument in the car park. Tap in your score as you walk off, and add fairway, green and putts if you want them. Once you have a handicap, your net score updates against it on every hole, so you always know where you stand.

Every round is kept, free, in Your rounds, ready to settle any dispute months later.

YOUR SHANKED HANDICAP INDEX
It is worked out with World Handicap System rules: a score differential from the course rating and slope, each hole capped at net double bogey, the best 8 of your last 20, and the soft and hard caps against your lowest index of the last year. Shots are allocated by stroke index on every tee.

It counts full 18-hole rounds on rated tees. Nines and part rounds are scored and kept, but they don't move your index yet, and there is no playing conditions calculation. It is an estimate, not an official England Golf Handicap Index. Gave us your club index when you signed up? You play off that until your SHANKED index arrives, and then you choose.

EVERY FORMAT YOUR GROUP PLAYS
Strokeplay and medal. Stableford points. Match play, singles or fourball better-ball, with the match status live. Skins (Pro). Society days and roll-ups: everyone adds each other as friends and the Clubhouse ranks the lot.

ON THE COURSE
GPS distance to the middle of the green on mapped holes, and satellite hole maps you can tap to measure a carry. Courses are mapped by the golfers who play them, so not every hole is mapped yet, and you can map yours as you play.

The Caddie suggests a club from the carry and total saved for each club in your bag, or a starting estimate until you add your own. It works in the wind and the temperature, and you can tell it your lie. Go Pro and it allows for uphill and downhill, and your tracked shots can set how far each club really finishes.

THE CLUBHOUSE
A monthly championship for your crew, a journal of everyone's rounds, and a trophy cabinet with a few battle scars in it. Personal bests, handicap drops and the occasional disaster, all in one place.

PRO
An optional subscription. It adds skins, estimated strokes gained, saving par and advanced stats, GPS shot tracking, uphill and downhill in the Caddie, your shot spread on the map, scorecard scanning, and the Wear OS watch app: the yardage, the Caddie's club and scoring on your wrist. Free to use, properly - not a trial. Cancel Pro whenever you like.

SAFE AND SOCIAL
No public feed: your rounds go to your friends and groups you join. Report a post, a comment, a golfer or a group that isn't OK, and block anyone you'd rather not see.

SHANKED is not affiliated with or endorsed by The R&A, the USGA or England Golf.

Making golf more social, one hosel rocket at a time.
Golf scorecard tracking for your fourball. Live cards, handicap and a Caddie.

What’s new

Better starts, a clearer map, and a scan you can trust.

• Start Round shows a venue and its courses together, and never starts a course with no scorecard.
• Scan, snap or type your scorecard, check it, then Confirm.
• A new Clubs tab on the course: your carry and total, shot by shot.
• Front and back of the green, plus bunkers and water on your line, on mapped courses.
• Round settings in one place.
• Lots of small fixes.

Someone is still definitely blaming the wind.
