Golf society management
Run yourgolf society.Not yourspreadsheet.
Members, fixtures, entries, entry fees, start sheets, results and the season table. One place for you, one link for them.

48 golfers
12 groups · one shotgun start · one live leaderboard
The Markkleeberg Masters was run on this, start to finish: 48 golfers, 12 groups, one shotgun start. That board has since come down, so the link opens our demo event instead — a full field, scoring live, exactly as it looked on the day.
Open the live demo leaderboardNo testimonials yet — we have not earned them. When societies have run a full season on this, their secretaries go here, with their names on.
Sunday night, February
WhatsApp. Spreadsheet.Bank transfer. Repeat.
You are not short of admin. You are short of Sundays. Golf society admin has not really changed in twenty years — it just moved from a clipboard onto five apps that do not talk to each other.
- In the group chat
- Twenty-eight replies, four of them a thumbs-up, and you still do not know who is playing.
- In the spreadsheet
- A tab per event, emailed round, out of date the moment it lands.
- In your bank app
- Cross-referencing references like "GOLF" and "dave" against a list of names.
- On the first tee
- Cash, an envelope, and the two who forgot.
- In the car park
- Someone doing Stableford maths on the back of a scorecard.
- In March
- Rebuilding the order of merit by hand because nobody kept the results.
Every one of those is a job Society Caddie already does.
The organiser view
Everything you needto run the next fixture.
One dashboard for the society: the season schedule, how many have entered, how many have paid, and the thing that needs doing before Saturday.
The whole season on one screen
Every fixture with its date, course, status and how many have entered and paid. No tab-hunting.
Members, not a mailing list
One membership roll with roles and handicaps. Invite by email or share a permanent join link and let them add themselves.
Announcements that reach everyone
Post once to the whole society instead of six group chats and an email to the four who are not in any of them.
Entries
Send one link.They do the rest.
You stop copying names out of a group chat. Share the link (or show the QR at the bar) and the field fills itself in while you get on with the rest of your life.
- 01
You share one link
One link or QR code per fixture. Paste it in the group chat, put it in an email, print it for the noticeboard.
- 02
They put their own name down
No app to install and no account to create. They tap the link, enter their details and pay if there is an entry fee.
- 03
You watch the list fill up
Entries land on your roster as they happen, with paid and unpaid marked. Chasing becomes reading.
Entry fees
Your society.Your money.
Entry fees are collected by you, into a Stripe account that belongs to your society. We are not a wallet, we do not hold the float, and there is no balance of yours sitting on our books.
It lands in your account, not ours
Players pay your Stripe account directly and Stripe pays out to your bank on its normal schedule. We never take custody of the money.
One clear cut, stated up front
Caddie Live takes 5% of each paid entry, and Stripe charges its standard card fee. Nothing monthly, nothing to cancel. Collect £25 and £23.75 is yours before card fees — the app shows the sum before you publish.
You can see who has paid
A live roster: paid, unpaid, and the running total collected. The four who still owe you are named on the screen instead of in your head.
Your rules, published
Set a payment deadline, decide whether payment confirms a place, and publish your own refund policy so nobody has to ask. Refunds are yours to issue, from your own Stripe dashboard.
Stripe
Card details are handled by Stripe and never touch us.
Your account
You complete Stripe's own onboarding. The account is yours, and so is the money.
Sign-in
Members sign in with an email link or Apple / Google — no password for you to reset.
GDPR
UK/EU hosted, one privacy policy, and member data belongs to the society.
On the day
Society Caddie runs the society.Caddie Live runs the golf.
Two front doors, one product and one account. You do the organising here. Your members play with Caddie Live, and everything they score comes straight back to the fixture — you never re-type a result.
You, before and after
- The society and its members
- Fixtures, entries and entry fees
- Groups and the start sheet
- Results, standings and the society site
Your members, on the day
- Join from the link or a QR code
- Score from their own phone
- Follow the leaderboard as it moves
- Their round saved to their own record
Nobody has to install anything. Group scoring means one phone per fourball if that is how your society plays, and the format — Stableford, medal, match play, Texas scramble, a team weekend — is set once when you create the fixture, with its handicap allowance applied for you.
The season
Finish the round.Update the season.
The last card goes in and the order of merit moves. Choose which fixtures count and how many of them, and the table recalculates itself after every one — no spreadsheet evening in March, and no arguments in the bar about who is actually leading.
Results stay with the society
Every fixture keeps its own result. Members can look up last April without asking you to find the email.
Best-of scoring, your rules
Count every fixture or a best-of — best six from ten is a click, not a formula you have to maintain.
Winners on the record
Each event's winners are recorded against the society, so the honours board writes itself.
Your society site
Give your societya proper home.
Every society gets its own page on the web, at its own address. Fixtures, results, standings, announcements and the joining link all live somewhere permanent — instead of scrolling back through eleven months of a group chat to find where you played in May.
What is on it
- Next fixture, with the entry link on it
- The full season's fixture list
- Results from every completed event
- The live order of merit
- Announcements from the committee
- The member list, for members
- Sponsors, if you have them
- Society Kit, if you want it
Public
Anyone can find it. Good for a society that wants new members.
Unlisted
Only people with the link. Good for most societies.
Members only
Sign-in required. Good for a private list.
And when you want it
Society kit, without the minimum order.
Society Kit puts your society's own gear — polos, caps, sweaters — on the society site, printed and posted to order, so nobody is left holding forty unsold hoodies. It is in beta with a first group of societies rather than open to everyone; if you want yours in that group, say so when you sign up.
Pricing
What it costs.Plainly.

Entry fees
5%per paid entry
Only if you collect money.
- Paid into your own Stripe account
- Stripe's standard card fees on top
- No monthly cost and no setup fee
- A calculator that works out what to charge
Collect £25 and £23.75 is yours before card fees. If you do not take entry fees, this line costs you nothing.
When the beta ends there will still be a free plan. Paid organiser passes are being built for extras like branded clubhouse presentation and print packs — prices are not set, and we are not going to guess at one here.

Questions
Before youstart.
The platform is free while we are in beta — no card, no trial countdown, nothing to cancel — and there will still be a free plan afterwards. The only charge today is on entry fees: if you collect them, Caddie Live takes 5% of each paid entry and Stripe charges its standard card fee. If you do not collect entry fees, Society Caddie currently costs you nothing.
Your next society daywithout the spreadsheet
Create the society, set up the first fixture, share one link. It takes a few minutes and it is free while we are in beta.

Because I have organised the golf day, chased the entry fees and rebuilt the order of merit in a spreadsheet, and it should not still take an entire Sunday.
