Every golf outing in PlayThru starts as an event. After you create it, you configure the event in the Outing Organizer — a four-step wizard that prepares your scorecard, leaderboard, and (optionally) registration page.
Step 1: Create the event
- Log in to your PlayThru account.
- Go to your Event Dashboard.
- Click Create Event.
- Enter an Event Name (for example, "Franey Cup 2026").
- Click Save or confirm creation.
PlayThru opens the Outing Organizer for your new event automatically.
Step 2: Complete the four setup tabs
Configure your event in this order:
- Event: Choose game format, scoring rules, handicaps, flights, shotgun start, and other event settings
- Course: Add tee boxes and enter par and hole handicap indexes. If you're adjusting player handicaps for the course, also enter in slope and rating
- Golfers: Add or import golfers; assign tees, teams, flights, and match opponents
- Scorecard: Review the setup checklist, then copy your scorecard link and QR code
Step 3: Optional — Registration and Upgrades
- Registration tab — Set up a registration page and payments (see article #61).
- Upgrade tab — Unlock premium features like custom scorecards, skins, multi-round, or hole sponsors.
Step 4: Share before event day
- Open the Scorecard tab.
- Fix any items on the red checklist (if shown).
- Copy the Scorecard Link or download the QR code.
- Email golfers or print the QR code for check-in.
Tips
- If you are subscribed to our Custom package, under Settings you can save default tees. They copy into new events automatically.
- Configure the Event tab before importing golfers from a spreadsheet — the CSV template depends on your format.
- Duplicating an existing event copies the event set up, tees and golfers, but not golfer scores or registration orders.
