Date Description
2024-04-07
  • New "Revoke League Access" option added to Manage League Members page, which allows removal of a player's league access without deleting their scoring history. See the Managing League Members help page for further details.
  • Enhanced Manage Golf Courses page to alert the league admin when editing a course that is in use by other leagues. Also added guidance on the Managing Golf Courses help page with recommendations for this scenario.
2024-01-21 Renamed our "USGA 2020" handicap option to just be called "USGA". This system has been around for multiple years now and is what one would expect for a "USGA" handicapping option. Our "USGA Classic" option still remains for the old system from 2019 and prior.
  • Note that the USGA has made some minor revisions to their handicapping rules in 2024. None of these have any impact on the FringeGolfer's implementation. Key changes are:
    • Course Rating and Shorter Courses: The USGA now allows courses as short as 750 yards for 9-holes and 1500 yards for 18-holes. FringeGolfers has no lower limit on course length, so this does not impact us.
    • Posting 10 - 17 Hole Scorecards: The USGA has a new approach for when a partial round is played. FringeGolfers has always required full 9-hole or 18-hole rounds to be entered, and will continue to do so.
    • Posting 9-hole scores: The USGA no longer requires combining multiple 9-hole rounds in order to calculate the handicap index. FringeGolfers never enforced the old requirement, we have a custom solution for this scenario which will not be changing.
2023-04-09 "Sync Player Front/Back Handicaps" optional setting now available for 9-hole leagues. See our help page for further details.
2023-01-08
  • Enhanced the "Auto Schedule Matchups" capability to optionally shuffle the match order. See the Managing Season Schedules help page for further details.
  • For Premium users, added button to export data to PDF or CSV for various tables on the League Home, Roster, Schedule and Round Scores pages. This is similar to the export capability on the Advance Stats page that is already available to all users.

2022-02-06 Updated Manage Season Teams page to allow saving teams without assigning all players. This allows for scheduling the team matchups in advance of finalizing the player assignments.
