How to Share Your Golf Scorecard from golfity
The first card in the post-round deck is your scorecard, hole by hole, rendered to be read on a phone screen. Here is what it carries and when it beats posting the total.
The photo of the paper card on the car roof never works. Half of it is in shadow, the pencil column is smudged, and whoever you sent it to has to zoom in twice to find the 6 you made on the last. If you want to share a golf scorecard that people actually read, the card has to be built for a phone screen rather than photographed onto one.
That is the job of the scorecard card in golfity. Save a round with hole-by-hole scores and it is the first card in the post-round deck, before the summary, before strokes gained.
What the scorecard card shows
The card lays your round out the way a printed card does, in two grids. The front nine sits on top with an OUT column, the back nine below with an IN column and a TOT column carrying the round total. Play nine holes and you get one grid, with the totals in place rather than an empty half card.
Each grid has three rows:
- Par, taken from the course
- Shots, your score on each hole, drawn as a colored chip
- Putts, if you tracked them on that round
The putts row disappears when you did not track putts. golfity does not print an empty row so the card looks fuller.
The colors do the reading for you
Every score sits in a chip colored by how it compares to par, which is what makes the card legible at thumbnail size:
- Blue for eagle or better
- Green for birdie
- Gray for par
- Amber for bogey
- Orange for double bogey
- Red for triple or worse
Someone scrolling past your card does not read 4-5-4-7-4. They see a run of gray with one red square on the 4th, and that is the round: steady until the hole that got away. A 41 out and a 37 in look like two different color patterns before anyone adds them up.
Holes you did not finish show PU instead of a number. The card marks the picked-up hole honestly rather than inventing a score to fill the square.
Everything around the card
The frame is the same on every card in the deck, so the scorecard travels without a caption:
- Your photo and name, with the course underneath
- The date you played
- Your handicap in a pill on the right, if you have set one
- The golfity mark and Know Your Game. along the bottom
It follows your app settings too. Dark mode gives you the dark card, and playing in Spanish gives you Spanish labels, which matters when the group chat is not in English.
How to share the golf scorecard
Under the deck there are four buttons: Instagram, WhatsApp, X, and the system share sheet. The card you are looking at is the one that goes out, so swipe to the scorecard first and check the dots.
Instagram is the one worth knowing about. Rather than handing over a square image you then have to pinch into place, golfity re-renders the card at 1080×1920 and passes it to the Stories composer as a full-bleed background, which is one tap from the deck. WhatsApp and X get the card plus an editable message with your score and course already filled in.
The fourth button opens the system sheet, which covers Messages, saving to Photos, AirDrop to the person you just played with, or the WhatsApp thread your fourball actually uses. If Instagram, WhatsApp or X are not installed, those buttons fall back to the same sheet instead of doing nothing.
The deck is built the moment you save the round, so this is a post-round move. Share it while you are still in the car park.
When the scorecard beats the summary card
The summary card is the better share for a good number. It leads with the total, the to-par pill, and rings for fairways and greens, which is what most people want from “what did you shoot”.
Post the scorecard instead when the story is in the shape of the round rather than the total. Two 82s on a par 72 can look nothing alike. One is twelve pars, five bogeys and a red 9 on the 5th. The other is eight pars and ten bogeys, nothing worse than amber anywhere on the card. Same number, two completely different afternoons, and only the scorecard tells them apart.
It is also the card to send when someone is about to play the course you just did, or when the group is settling a match and wants the holes rather than your word for it.
For the rest of the deck, including the strokes gained and score trend cards, see the share cards overview. If you want the deeper hole-by-hole read for yourself instead of your feed, that lives in the strokes gained scorecard inside the app, alongside the rest of golfity’s tracking features.
