Short answer. Start a game the normal way, then add players from Your crew in the player picker. Saved crew players arrive with their handicaps, so nothing is retyped. Your crew's hub also has a Plan a game shortcut when nothing is scheduled.

Steps

  1. Open the crew from Profile → Affiliations. If the Next Game card reads "No next Game yet", tap Plan a game. Otherwise use the Create tab and choose Play golf.
  2. Set up the round as usual: course, tees, date and tee time. See Start a round.
  3. In the Add players sheet, your saved crew members are listed under Your crew. You can also search by name, email or phone; results are marked "Your crew", "Played together" or "Ringer member", with each player's Index. Tap the people you want.
  4. Once the game exists, you can keep adding from Round Hub → Manage → Players, where the search reads "Search your crew and past players". Players you add this way land as in, with no RSVP needed.
  5. For anyone outside the crew, share the game's invite link. See Invite your crew.

How it works

  • Handicaps travel with the player. A saved friend's handicap is stored on the crew, so when you add them to a game their strokes are ready without asking. If it has changed, edit it on the crew's Members tab before the round starts.
  • Friends without an account still count. A saved friend added to a game is on the roster by name, with the handicap you saved for them.
  • Nothing is sent automatically. Adding a crew member to a game does not text or email them. Send the invite link, or invite by email or text from the game's Invite sheet, so they can RSVP.
  • The crew sees the game. When a game is linked to your crew, everyone in the crew sees it on the hub's Next Game card with Open Game and RSVP, or Open live Game once scoring is underway.

Good to know

  • The Recent rounds list on the crew hub shows completed 18-hole rounds by registered members, so your regulars' latest cards show up there after they play.
  • If the hub says "Next Game is unavailable — Please reload to check your Crew's games.", pull to refresh or reopen the crew.
  • Handicaps freeze when the round starts, so make crew handicap edits beforehand. See Handicaps freeze at start.
