Sim settings

How it’s set up.

How it works

You earn Back Nine points just for playing, and more for finishing higher — they roll into your season total.

Closet to the Pin and Longest Drive

Closest-to-the-Pin and Long Drive are manual — players photo the sim on the declared hole(s) and you record the winner.

False stroke triggering

If your score includes a false stroke due to a false trigger with someone walking into the sensor or a similar situation, record a video of the replay and send it in to get your score adjusted.

Fair play

We play you where your game fits.

• Scores clearly stronger than a flight → we move you up.
• A flight playing over your head → we move you to real matches.
• Read across your rounds and the tee you played.
• If we adjust, we tell you why — and you can push back.

Honest rounds clear without a word.

At the bay

• Log into Full Swing Compete first, then launch the round your host shares for this event.
• Enter your handicap when the bay prompts you, or your score won't post correctly.
• Rough hole or tech trouble? You can stop — but finish the hole out. An unfinished hole records no score, and there's no redo.
