Good questions

Before you tee it up.

Do players need to download an app?+

No. Players open Birdies & Alibis in a modern phone, tablet, or desktop browser.

Can players participate without accounts?+

Organizers can share expiring guest scorecard links where that feature is included or enabled.

Can we still use paper scorecards?+

Yes. An administrator can photograph a paper card, review the detected scores, and approve the import.

What happens when I use all my scans?+

Manual and ordinary digital score entry continue normally. Paper scorecard scanning is a metered convenience, not a scoring limit.

What is the difference between Buddies Plus and League?+

Buddies Plus fits a recurring group of up to 25. League supports up to 80, adds more paper scorecard scans, and is positioned for commissioners managing an organized season.

Can a course run multiple leagues?+

Yes. Club/Course supports multiple leagues and up to 200 unique golfers across leagues at one physical course/location.

Must tournament organizers collect through Stripe?+

No. Organizers can track cash, check, Venmo, or day-of-event payments and offer supported online payment when desired.

Can I cancel?+

Yes. Cancellation stops renewal and access continues through the current paid period. See the Billing, Cancellation & Refund Policy for the complete terms.

A real person behind the product

Built by a golfer, for people who organize golf.

I’m Matt Evans, founder and developer of Birdies & Alibis. After decades of playing in golf groups and leagues—and seeing how much work happens behind the scenes—I built Birdies & Alibis to make organizing them simpler.

What started as a solution for my own friends’ league has grown into a platform designed to give golf organizers some of their time back.

Straight answers

Your league. Your data. No surprises.

Secure payments

Stripe hosts checkout and handles payment-card details. Birdies & Alibis stores billing status and Stripe references, not raw card numbers.

Account access

Accounts use Firebase Authentication, and league information is limited by signed-in membership and administrator roles.

Try it with your real league

Run your first 4 league events free.

Invite your golfers, track scores and standings, and see how the season fits together. No credit card required. Your league history remains available when the trial ends.
