Every house rule, scored once
Fifteen games, presses any time and the most you can lose shown before you tee off. Enter each score once on a card that looks like the one in your pocket, and the strokes, presses and carryovers take care of themselves.
Hole19Tally is a scorekeeper. It records scores, works out strokes and shows who owes whom, but it never holds, moves or takes a share of money, and it is not a gambling service. Players settle up directly with each other.
From the first tee to a scored round

Pick your games
Any mix of the fifteen games. The app flags combinations that cannot be played together and offers a one-tap fix.
Tee off
See the most anyone can lose, then score. Strokes are marked with dots on every hole.
A hole, three games
Change a score and watch Vegas, skins and a Nassau press update from the same four numbers. Dots are handicap strokes.
- Strokes off the low, so the best golfer plays scratch
- Flips, carryovers and presses run on their own
- Points only, nothing stored or sent
Try a hole
Four sample golfers on a sample card. Tap + or − and watch three games update from the same scores. Points only; nothing is stored or sent.
| Hole | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Par | 4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 4 | 4 |
| Alex | 4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 3 | 4 |
| Sam | 5 | 5● | 4 | 6● | 5 | 5● |
| Jordan | 4 | 4 | 3 | 5● | 5 | 4 |
| Casey | 6● | 6● | 5 | 7● | 6● | 5● |
Las Vegas
Alex & Casey −3 · Sam & Jordan +3
| Hole | Alex & Casey | Sam & Jordan | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 45 | 45 | 0 |
| 2 | 55 | 44 | −11 |
| 3 | 35 | 34 | −1 |
| 4 | 56 | 45 | −11 |
| 5 | 35 | 55 | +20 flip |
| 6 | 44 | 44 | 0 |
Each team's two scores make one number, lowest first (4 and 5 make 45). The gap is the points. A gross birdie flips the other team's number unless they have one too.
Skins
Running points: Alex −1 · Sam −5 · Jordan +11 · Casey −5
- Hole 1: tied, the skin carries over
- Hole 2: tied, the skin carries over
- Hole 3: tied, the skin carries over
- Hole 4: Jordan wins 4 skins
- Hole 5: Alex wins 1 skin
- Hole 6: tied, the skin carries over
2 skins are riding on the next hole. Lowest net score wins; each other golfer owes the winner one point per skin.
Nassau
Alex v Jordan
- Front nine: Jordan 1 up through 6 holes (live)
- Back nine: not started (live)
- Overall: Jordan 1 up through 6 holes (live)
- Front nine, press from hole 5: Alex 1 up through 2 holes (live)
- Overall, press from hole 5: Alex 1 up through 2 holes (live)
Alex and Jordan play match play off the lower handicap. A press starts on its own when a side goes two holes down, and each part is scored separately.
Built for the rules your group actually plays
Scorecard-first entry
Tap the score on a card that looks like the real one. Dots show who gets a stroke, and a running plus or minus sits under each golfer.
Quick entry for the game
Games like Vegas have their own entry, so nobody is doing arithmetic on the tee.
Every house rule is a setting
Press any time, press a press, automatic presses on 9 and 18, strokes off par 3s, caps and junk values, each with a plain-words consequence.
The most you can lose, up front
Shown at setup before anyone tees off, with the exact formula one tap away.
Works offline
No signal on the back nine? Scores keep saving and sync when the phone reconnects.
One settle-up
A single statement of who owes whom, using the fewest payments. Players pay each other directly; the app never touches money.
Tap (i) and know exactly what you are playing
Each game has its rule in plain words, a ten-second example and the exact formula for the most one golfer can lose. The same text is on the website, so you can read it before you play.

Questions about scoring your games
Can I use points instead of money?
Yes. Points-only mode is fully usable, and every screen reads fine without a currency symbol.
Can I change the rules my group argues about?
Yes. Presses, carryovers, junk values, caps and many other rules are settings, and each setting says in plain words what it changes.
Does it work with no signal?
Yes. Scores keep saving on the phone and sync when it reconnects.
How do I see the most I can lose?
The setup screen shows it before you tee off, and the (i) button next to each game shows the exact formula with your own numbers.
