A worldwide golf Tour. Here’s how it works — the boards, the divisions, and the races that run all season.
Pure Golf Tour isn’t a scoring app — it’s a golf Tour. You post the cards you actually play, on your honour. No GPS, no shot-tracking, no algorithm verifies you; your word does — that’s what makes a place on these boards mean something.
Every course has its own Honours Board — the wooden clubhouse plaque, made live and open to every member. Post a round and you go up against it, ranked with the members who played the same tees. Top the board, and the spot’s yours until another member betters your score.
You’re placed in one of four divisions according to your handicap when you join, First through Fourth. This is your division for the season — you’re only measured against players of your own standard, not the whole Tour.
Beat the field and climb your division’s Order of Merit across the season.
We score your round against the course’s rating — its SSS — rather than against par. So a hard course and an easy one are judged fairly: 78 at a brute of a links can be worth more than 74 at a gentle parkland, and a round in Melbourne stands beside a round in Fife without the two of you ever meeting.
Every course carries a field strength — the combined standard of the members who have played it — and the stronger that field, the more a round there is worth, up to three times. A course only you have played still counts; as others arrive the weight rises, and your earlier rounds become worth more, not less. Points already won don’t fall as the field grows.
Your season is your best eight rounds. Post as many as you like — a ninth only counts if it beats one of the eight. Nobody wins this by playing the most.
Charge is the net Stableford race. Only your best rounds count, and the board is points scored above your handicap — best golf wins, not most. It runs all season, across the whole membership.
BoB counts one thing: Birdies or Better. Every one you post is banked for the season and nothing takes it away — no bad round, no cold month. It’s the board for golf that goes at the flag.
Links is the Tour’s game of luck. Each week a card of 18 hole scores is sealed and shown to no one. Play your golf and post your cards — the card on Tour with the most matches wins the week.
A Crew is four members, anywhere on Earth, climbing one board together.
A Crew’s score is the total number of Stableford points its members have won above their own handicaps. A 24-handicapper’s best day counts as much as a scratch player’s, nobody is a passenger, and a bad round never costs your Crew a thing.
Pure Golf Tour is open to any golfer, anywhere — you arrive by swearing the Tour Card Oath. From the moment you’re in, you’re a full member — no one’s on the Tour just to watch. Your membership puts you in the field for everything the Tour runs.
