ParClubBest three finishes
The Club Championship adds each member's best three finishing positions. Lowest total leads, so missing a meeting or two doesn't end anyone's season.
An example build
How a build runs, shown on an example society.
Every build follows the same few steps. Here they are, shown on the Fairway Society: its rules, how the build goes, and what meeting day looks like after.
Example society. Names and scores are made up.
The example
Thirty members, one spreadsheet.
The Fairway Society has 30 members and eight meetings a season, and its secretary keeps the season in a spreadsheet and does the sums by hand.
After every meeting, by hand
- Type every card into the spreadsheet.
- Split the field into two divisions on the day's handicaps, and find each winner.
- Take a shot off each winner's handicap for the rest of the season.
- Re-sort the season table on each member's best three finishes.
- Work out the summer table again from the summer meetings only.
- Email the results round, and answer the replies.
An evening's work after every meeting, and one wrong cell from the wrong winner.
The rules it brings
Five rules, built in.
What the secretary brings to the first call, one rule to a card. Each is something a build already does.
A shot off the winner
Win a division and you play off a shot less for the rest of the season. The build takes it off when the result is published.
A summer table
The Challenge Cup is a second table over the summer meetings only, worked from the same cards. No card is entered twice.
Divisions split on the day
The field splits in two by handicap at every meeting, on the day's entries, with a winner in each. No fixed line to argue about.
A match against the neighbours
Once a season it plays another society. Each game is scored hole by hole, net of handicap, and reads the way you'd write it: 3 and 2.
How a build runs
From the first call to a signed-off meeting.
Four steps, in days rather than months. Your committee sees one of your own fixtures working before you pay anything.
- Day one
The call
You go through every competition, table and rule, and the spreadsheet behind them. We write the rules down and send them back for you to check.
- Within a few days
One of your fixtures, before you pay
We set up one of your real fixtures with your own members and handicaps, so the committee can click round it. Then you decide.
- Usually within a week
The full build
Once you say go, with £285 to start (non-refundable), every rule goes in, your members and handicaps come across from the spreadsheet, and the portal takes your colours.
- Your next meeting
Run it, and sign it off
You run a real meeting on the portal and check it against your own sums. When you're happy, you sign it off and the £665 balance is due.
Your build
Your rules. Your society's portal.
A build puts your own rules, members and meetings into the secretary portal. We don't name the societies we build for or show their members: their data is theirs.
What every build includes
- Every rule of yours, built in. The cards go in and nothing is added up by hand.
- A portal for the secretary, in the society's colours: start sheets with tee times and tees, handicap labels to print, and email to the whole society or one meeting's field.
- Any card, however it arrives. Hole by hole or just the total in the portal, or scored in the app by one player for the group.
- Nothing counts until it is published. Spot a mistake, unpublish, fix it, publish again.
- Your members and handicaps brought across from Excel, Numbers or a CSV file.
- The ParClub app, free for every member on iPhone and Android, for those who want it.
Your rules, built. Scored as the cards go in.
£950 to build, £150 a year. Members pay nothing.
Before you pay anything, and usually within a few days, we set up one of your real fixtures so the committee can click round it. A one-page summary for your committee
