New features and enhancements are made to Golf League Tracker each season. Below lists the major new features added each season. For more details, see the Product Release Notes for all additions, changes, and fixes.
New features are being added all the time for the upcoming season. Check back here to see what's new!
New automated tools for leagues who use League Groups to place players/teams into the groups by handicap or randomly. The administrator can still manually assign groups as always.
New per-player settings to tell the system only to go back to a certain date when calculating handicaps. This is good for a scenario where a player was injured and scores before that date aren't really reflective of the player's current ability.
Optimized player scheduling for individual player leagues, with the player count evenly divisible by 4. This will make it so everybody plays against every an equal number of times (if you're playing match play) as well as play with everybody an equal number of times.
Added an icon in the schedule which links to the player profile, if a photo has been uploaded for them.
You can now break up net and gross skins by group separately, meaning you could break up Gross skins by league group, but net skins have the entire league into one pot.
Gross and Net Skins Multiplier. Setting a multiplier will count a skin won as multiple skins depending if it was an albatross, eagle, birdie, or par skins. So for example, if you wanted to count an albatross as 4 skins, eagle as 3 skins, birdie as 2 skins, and par as 1 skin, you would enter "4,3,2,1" into the Gross Skins Multiplier setting.
Changed the Cart Sign feature to create a PDF file on the fly rather than rendering the sign in the browser. This allows for a more optimal layout of the cart sign as well as a quick way to then e-mail the PDF to the golf course if so desired.
Created an option to print blank scorecards without having to set up a scheduled round.
If you use League Groups, you previously could break your skins games for both net and gross into separate games for each group. This new option takes it a step further and allows you to break Gross skins into separate games for each group, while leaving Net skins for the whole league, or vice versa.
Added a new automated Phone Formatting option for the player profile. This helps insure accuracy of phone numbers when forced to enter a 10 digit number (in the US). If you're outside of the US you can leave the formatting of and enter whatever you like.
You can now send e-mails to individually selected players or, if you use League Groups, to individually selected groups, in addition to all Regular players and all Subs as previous.
Added another option when moving your round after a rainout. You can now move the round to an already existing date, and play 2 rounds on the same date.
Automatic logout/refresh of other tabs so that user is only logged into one league at a time.
The custom report option allows administrators to take a report, choose which filters to apply, change the sorting to their liking, then save those modifications as a "Custom Report". Custom reports can be added to the home page using the Custom Report Widget, and they appear in the Stats section under their own "Custom Report" heading.
The Live Scoring Leaderboard has been optimized for leagues who play different sides and/or courses on the same day
Option to display tee boxes for each card for a variety of ways. For example, showing all tees entered for a course, or only tees which are assigned for the league, or tees used specific to each scorecard.
New higher resolution images! Resolution has been changed from a max of 1024 pixels for width/height to 1920.

This optional upgrade allows the league administrators to upload photos for their league and organize them into albums. Along with the image gallery, comes the Document Library which allows league administrators to upload documents pertaining to your league for safe keeping, or to share with your league players.
The points engine was rewritten from the ground-up for 2021 which opens up several new features:
Auto schedule for a single round. This feature allows an administrator to choose a subset of players from the league and have the system automatically set the pairings. Most leagues auto schedule all the players ahead of time before the season begins, but if you have a sign-up sheet and don't know who is playing from week to week, this feature will make scheduling much easier.
Legacy Classic ASP code was rewritten to use c#/mvc for a consolidated platform, improving performance and reliability for the user.
For those of you who run multiple leagues, Golf League Tracker now automates the renewal process for you. Copy all of your leagues at once to the new year, and purchase all leagues at once with your multi-league discount.
You can now add custom tee times for specific rounds. For example, let's say you normally play at 4:00pm start with 9 minute tee times, but on your 12th round of the season, the course has an outing, and would like you to go off at 4:30pm instead. You can now set those tee times which only affect the 12th round.
If you want to see previous season, you now only have to go up to the "Menu" in the upper right and click "Switch Season" and choose which previous season you'd like to see. The page will refresh (keeping you on the same page) and you'll be switched automatically. No more logging out and back in to switch.
You can now view a live scoring leaderboard with either a summary or detailed (hole by hole) view. "Favorite" the players you want so they appear at the top of the leaderboard.
A new settings screen has been created solely to setting Hole Stroke Limits which makes it more intuitive and fool-proof to get your settings right.
As league administrator, you'll be able to now customize your home page with the info you want! Select from an ever growing library of "widgets" to place on 1 of 9 home page layouts of your choosing. Look for more widgets to be developed as time goes on, and if you have a request, feel free to contact support with your idea.
Widget List as of 1/24/2019:
The export feature has been moved to the upper right of any report or grid, and rewritten so that any report can be exported. The can then be exported to CSV or copied to your computer's clipboard in raw format.
Chart how a player's handicap has changed over time
If you're an individual league, you can see the results of a specific player vs another player over time, across seasons.
If you're a team league, you can see the results of a specific team number vs another team number of time. Note that the members of that team may have changed over time.
When setting up your tee times, you can choose a starting hole if you're a shotgun start. This new feature will highlight the starting hole for the player by putting a pale background color on the scorecard when you print it.
Major project of converting old code from Classic ASP to MVC.Net to improve performance and scalability for the user.
Enable skins to use a flat pot rather than a dollar amount per player. This way the pot is the same each week regardless of how many players are playing.
Adding league group filtering to several reports
Changed how settings are added and edited to allow all settings to be changed by the league administrator. This allows for faster development of new settings.
Rewrite of the sub request functionality to improve stability and performance.
Allow editing of scorecards rather than requiring delete/readd.
Added the "theme" option for a user to choose their color theme from the menu.
Converted styling over to twitter bootstrap for consistent styling from page to page and from device to device.
Allow add/remove rounds and reording of matches
Creation of the first GLT Web API to allow more processing from the client than the server to allow faster response time to the user
Creation of a player dashboard for the home page which allows you to view a player's score history and scoring percentages at a glance.
Carry over skins pot option. In the event of skins not being won, you have the option to carry over the skins amount the next week.
