For players who want to win
Your golf, finally scoreboard-shaped.
Leagues, quick play, tournaments, live leaderboards, badges, prize pools. All running on the same BASED engine that makes every round comparable. Works with handicap. Works without.
Plays your way
Gross, net, handicap, no handicap. Yes.
BASED isn’t a handicap replacement. It’s an enhancement that works alongside whatever scoring system your group already uses, or by itself if you don’t use one. Pick the format, we’ll do the math.
Everything in one app
Built for the way you actually play golf.
Saturday morning, settled by the 9th hole.
Six-digit code. Four taps. You’re playing skins before the starter finishes his speech. Wolf, Nassau, match play, best ball, scramble, high-low, stroke — pick the game your group actually plays. Everyone scores from their phone, live. Nothing’s in one guy’s head anymore.
- →Setup in under 60 seconds, no account needed to join
- →Skins, Wolf, Nassau, match play, stableford, best ball, scramble
- →Live scoring from every phone, no host bottleneck
- →Auto-calculated payouts the second the last putt drops
- →Every round saved to your lifetime stats
Skins game that actually settles.
Link Venmo once. SwingBase tracks every carryover, every push, every birdie steal, and at the end of the round sends a Venmo request so the winner gets settled — directly, player to player. No IOUs. No “I’ll get you next week.” No spreadsheet from Kevin.

The number that finally compares apples to apples.
Your raw 78 in 25mph wind isn’t their raw 78 on a calm Tuesday. BASED normalizes for handicap probability, weather conditions, and crowd-sourced course performance. One number. Every round. Finally fair.
- →Handicap-probability normalization on every round
- →Real-time weather data from within 5 miles of the course
- →Runs alongside your WHS handicap, not against it
- →League standings your mountain-course buddy can’t whine about

The BASED advantage
Your raw 78 wasn’t the same as their raw 78.
Three layers of math informed by published USGA research — handicap probability, weather conditions, and crowd-sourced course performance — turn every score into what it was actually worth. Layer it on top of handicap, layer it under, or use it on its own.
Run the calculatorCommon questions
Everything you’re about to ask.
No. SwingBase works with handicap, without it, or alongside it. BASED scoring uses live course conditions to normalize scores, and that math works whether you carry a 4 index or you've never had a handicap card. Use net, gross, or both.
