Every round
deserves a story.
Score together on the course, or photograph the paper card afterwards. RoundLore writes up the afternoon, keeps the season, and remembers the first time you broke 80.
Your photos and your friends’ names stay private unless you choose to share the result. Shared links are unlisted, and you can revoke them.

Three ways to get the scores in
A paper card is one of them, not the only one. Pick whichever suits the day.
During the round
Everyone scores
Start a game, send the link, and each player puts their own score in on their own phone. The card fills itself in as you play, and everybody can see it.
During the round
You keep the card
One phone, hole by hole, the way somebody always ends up doing it anyway. Look the course up and it arrives with pars, stroke indexes and a diagram of every hole.
After the round
Photograph the paper
One picture of the club's card, taken in the car park. We read the names, the pars and every number off it.
Whichever way the scores arrive, you see them before anybody else does. We show you what we read, flag anything we were unsure of, and publish nothing until you say it is right.
After the last putt
What one round becomes
Not a table of statistics. A written account of the afternoon, with the parts worth arguing about pulled out of it.
Ardennes Links · 14 August
Classic sports deskOkonkwo survives the last
Two ahead with three to play, M. Okonkwo found the trees on the 16th and the sand on the 17th. He walked off the last still one in front, which is the only part anybody will repeat.
Five voices to choose from, including one that swears.

What it cost
S. Lindqvist owes M. Okonkwo 2 beers
Birdie beer: Okonkwo on the 2nd and the 9th
Every recap also carries a collectible card for each player, a nine-by-sixteen video made for the group chat, and — where the holes can be traced — a drawing of every one of them.
Play more than once
And it remembers
Start a society, add your rounds to it, and the year assembles itself. The same person is recognised across cards that spell their name differently, so nobody keeps a spreadsheet.
Things you had never done
Every award here is worked out from a single card. Firsts are the exception: your first birdie, the first time you broke 90, the first time you beat him.
Who owns each hole
Almost nobody sets a course record. Everybody has a hole they are proud of, and this is the board that says whose it is.
The tab
Agree that a birdie is worth a beer and the scorecard settles it, netted across the season, so nobody has to keep a ledger.
The ordinary furniture of a society year comes as standard: an order of merit, course records, head-to-head records, the holes that cost everybody the most shots, and what each handicap did. So does a profile for every player — one picture and one handicap, the same in every society you play in.
Worth saying plainly
RoundLore is about the scores and the story. No GPS, no wearables, no swing analysis, no coaching, and nothing that tells you what you did wrong. Just the four of you, the card, and what happened.
