How ForeLeft! runs your buddies golf trip
From the resort confirmation to the final settle-up, in one app the whole crew uses.

1. Drop in the itinerary AI
The organizer drops in the resort's itinerary PDF or confirmation email, or pastes the text. AI reads it and pulls out the tee times, courses, lodging and dinners, then lays them out day by day. You review every row and fix anything before it's saved.
Before the first import, the app tells you the itinerary text goes to OpenAI, an outside AI service, and asks your permission. OpenAI doesn't train on it. ForeLeft! doesn't keep the file. Say "Not now" and the built-in reader does the import instead. See a sample import.
When the resort sends a new version, import it into the same trip. It's free, you see a preview of what moved, and players, matches and scores stay attached.
2. Invite the crew
Share a join code, QR code or link in the group chat. Everyone sees the same schedule, rooms and dinners, and gets the chat and DMs.
3. Teams, pairings and games
Draft teams the old way ("throw balls"), set foursomes and pick formats for each round: four-ball match play, Nassau, skins, Wolf, Sixes, Nines (5-3-1) for a threesome, Stableford, stroke play and side games like closest to the pin. Wolf and Sixes are round formats for a foursome, scored hole by hole. Nines splits 9 points on every hole. Vegas is two pairs, and Snake follows the last 3-putt. Each player can play their own tees. Course handicaps come from real slope and rating, and the strokes are calculated automatically.
4. Live scoring
Score hole by hole on several phones at once. The match status, team leaderboard and a live match link update as scores come in.
5. Settle up and the recap
Side games and shared expenses (the house, carts, dinner, split evenly or your way) roll into one settle-up with the fewest payments. ForeLeft! works out who owes whom; it never holds or moves money. When the trip ends, the recap shows the team result, MVP, and best and worst holes, with a share link that shows first names and golf only. See a sample recap.

FAQ
Does the AI pick teams or handle scoring?
No. AI has one job: reading your itinerary. Scoring, handicap strokes and the settle-up are plain math, calculated automatically the same way every time. The team draft is old-school "throw balls".
Can I build a trip without importing anything?
Yes. Add tee times, rooms and dinners by hand whenever you like.
How do my buddies join?
With an invite code, a QR code or a link. Single-day trips are free for the whole group. Adding people to a multi-day trip needs the one-time Trip Unlock, which covers everyone on it.
How are handicap strokes worked out?
Each player's course handicap comes from the WHS formula: Handicap Index × Slope ÷ 113 + (Course Rating − Par), using the tees they play. Match formats then apply the recommended allowance and give strokes off the lowest player.
