No more parking lot math.

The Problem Isn't Scoring. It's Settling.

Plenty of apps can track your score. The hard part comes after the 18th hole: skins that carried over three times, a Nassau with a press on the back, and somebody who was in the skins game but not the Nassau. Now who owes who, and how much? That's the math that happens on a phone calculator in the parking lot — and it's the math Duck Hook Golf was built to eliminate.

Net Balances, Not a Web of IOUs

As your group scores the round, Duck Hook Golf tracks every result by format — skins won and pushed, Nassau front, back, and overall, Vegas points, match play holes. When the round ends, the app calculates every player's final net balance and then does something a spreadsheet never will: it collapses the messy web of wins and losses into the fewest direct payments possible.

Say Mike owes Dave $10 and Dave owes you $15. Instead of two awkward exchanges, the app nets it out: Mike pays you $10, Dave pays you $5, done. Nobody has to collect from one player just to turn around and pay another. Fewer money movements, zero mental math, no arguments.

One Tap to Venmo

Each payout comes with a one-tap Venmo request with the exact amount already filled in. Add your Venmo handle to your player profile once, and settling up becomes a single tap instead of a “I'll get you next week” that turns into never.

The Results Slip for the Group Chat

The newest addition to the app is one of our favorites: a clean, shareable results slip — the final leaderboard and who-pays-who, formatted as an image that drops straight into the group text. It's the screenshot your group was already trying to take, minus the glare and the thumb over the lens. Bragging rights, documented.

And a Paper Trail, Automatically

After the round, every registered player gets an email with the full scorecard, standings, and payouts. No disputes on Tuesday about what happened on Saturday — it's all in writing, in everyone's inbox, minutes after the last putt drops.
