The games

• Stroke play or Stableford for a group playing their own ball.
• Match play for two.
• Four-ball, best balls of four, scramble, shamble or alternate shot for teams.
• Skins, Nassau and contests on the side.

A trip can hold a team cup. The games page lists them by group.

Yes, before the round, under "More options" on the Game step:

• The handicap percentage for a game.
• Extra strokes for a player.
• Gross or net play.
• The Stableford points table.
• How many balls count in best ball and shamble.
• Alternate shot played as match play (with four players).
• Carry-overs and the tie rule in skins.
• Presses in the games that have them, called or automatic.
• "Extra holes if all square" in a match.

Anything else, ask for when you describe the round.

1. Choose "Contest" on the Game step, then closest to the pin, longest drive or straightest drive and the holes it is played on; "Winner must make par" is there too.
2. On a contest hole, open "Hole options" under the hole number on the scoring screen.
3. Tap the contest, type your distance and tap "Save distance".

• Distances are in feet for closest to the pin and straightest drive and in yards for longest drive, or in meters for all three if you use meters. To change them, on Me, tap "Settings", then "Units".
• A new entry replaces your earlier one.
• The leader shows under the hole number, and you can change or undo your entry until everyone in the contest has scored the hole; after that it reads, for example, "Your 8 ft stands."
• The host or a co-host can "Name the winner", "Change Dana Lee's distance", "Remove Dana Lee's entry" or "Remove the named winner" until the round is closed.
• With "Winner must make par" on, if the leader doesn't make par, the next player in line who does wins; if nobody makes par, nobody wins that hole, and a named winner must make par too.

The board lists each contest hole with its leader, for example "Hole 3, Closest to the pin" and "Dana Lee, 8 ft", and the feed says "Dana Lee leads closest to the pin on hole 3 at 8 ft."

A host can build a house game: your own rules and your own name.

1. On the Game step, under "Your own games", tap "Build your own".
2. Answer the questions one at a time: the name, who plays whom, how a hole scores, which balls count (for pairs and fours), handicap, how the round adds up and extras.
3. Check the rules in plain lines.
4. Tap "Save and use" or "Use once".

• An account keeps up to 20 saved games. Once you have one, "All saved games" in that list opens them to rename, edit or delete.
• Editing a saved game never changes a round already started.
• A house game is for a round on its own, not for a league, a trip, an outing or a cup.
• A player 13 to 17 can play in a house game an adult hosts, but cannot build, save or host one.
