One of the most popular ways to play with peers is through recurring league competitions. However, league play requires extensive management because of the information handling and coordination involved. This paper presents the development of a web application which facilitates league management by automating and consolidating management processes. Using this application, golfers can easily create and join leagues of peers, store player information, organize competitions, and update scores throughout play. While some golf league applications already exist, none of these alternatives provide sufficient flexibility and automation at no cost. To address this need, the presented application enables the simultaneous management of multiple leagues and courses. The application also automatically generates teams for each competition based on player handicaps. To reduce management workload, responsibilities are distributed amongst all players and scores can be input and viewed live. While existing alternatives address some of these needs, there are none which provide all these features on one platform. By automating these processes and consolidating them into one application, golfers will be able to focus on the competitive and social experience of their leagues.展开更多
