When you're not playing

Watch your friends' golf rounds live.
Call how they go. Come back for the result.

Cleek is the golf app for the days you are not on the course. Follow a friend's round from anywhere, call whether Dave breaks 80 on Wednesday, and find out from the couch.

Free. Any browser. No app download. Nothing on the line but bragging rights.

Get in on your friends' rounds when you're not playing

Every golf app can keep score. Most of them can show a leaderboard. None of them give you anything to do on the four days a week you are not playing, and that is most of the week.

On Cleek, when a friend starts a round it drops into your feed. You open it and you are there: their score to par, the hole they are on, the card one tap away. And before any of that, you call it. Will they break 80? Two birdies or more? A clean card with no doubles? You predict something about their round, and the round decides whether you were right.

You are not predicting who wins the Masters. You are predicting whether Dave breaks 80 on Wednesday. And Dave knows you called it. That is what makes a Wednesday round in the group matter to the people who are not in it.

There is nothing on the line except your record. No money, no prizes, nothing to redeem. Win the call and it goes on your Cred, a head-to-head win-loss tally between you and that friend. Lose it and they will remind you.

What you can call on a friend's round

A call is a prediction about one round by one golfer. You choose the shape, you set the line, the scores decide it.

Break a number

Call that your friend breaks 80, or 90, or whatever number you name. A 79 wins it. An 80 does not. Breaking a number means going under it.

Birdies

Call how many birdies they make. Two or more, three or more: you set the bar before they tee off.

A clean card

Call that they keep every hole to bogey or better. One double and the call is lost.

Bogey-free

Call that they go a full round, or a stretch of holes, without a bogey.

One hole

Pick a hole and call a par or better on it, or a birdie. The one you know they always mess up is fair game.

A streak

Call a run of pars over holes you choose, or the back nine under par.

Over or under

Call over or under on their final score, or a total you name.

Playing too?

If you are in your own round the same day, call that you will beat them. Both cards decide it.

When you can call it

Before the round goes live. This is the part other apps do not have. A call can be placed before your friend has hit a shot, the night before, at breakfast, whenever you hear they are playing. It resolves against their next submitted round. You do not need to watch live. You do not need to be awake when they tee off. You call it ahead and come back for the result.

During the round. If you are following live, you can call while they play, with one rule that keeps it honest. A call the scores have already decided cannot be placed. Once they have bogeyed the 7th, nobody gets to call a par on the 7th. Cleek checks every call against the scores already posted and only accepts the ones still genuinely open.

Not after. When the card is submitted the round is over and so is the calling. Whatever you called stands, and it is resolved right then.

What you see when you follow a round

Spectate from your phone, anywhere. The watch page is built to be read at a glance, so the score to par is the headline and everything else is a tap deeper.

Before they tee off

Your friend's round is announced or their tee time is set. You place your call now, before the round goes live. You never need to follow the round for the call to count. From the watch page it reads: on the first tee, teeing off soon, follow live.

During the round

Their score to par and the hole they are on, updated as they post scores. The hole-by-hole card is one tap away. Calls that are still open stay open; a call the scores have already decided cannot be placed, so nobody calls a birdie on a hole that was bogeyed an hour ago.

After the round

Your friend submits the card. Cleek reads the scores they posted and resolves every call on the round. You get the result and it goes on your record with that friend. Then the group chat does what the group chat does.

The golfer playing keeps scoring. A call needs nothing from them, it resolves off the scores they post. On a friend's live match you can also tap a reaction; a free account is needed to react, not to watch.

How a call resolves

Your friend submits their round. Cleek reads the scores they posted, nothing is recomputed, nothing is guessed, and decides every call placed on that round. A break-80 call is won by a 79 and lost by an 80. A two-birdie call is won by two birdies or more. A clean-card call is lost by one double bogey. The result reaches you, and it lands on your record with that friend.

If the round never happens, rain, a cancelled tee time, a friend who talks a big game, the call quietly expires. Nobody's record moves. If the card was started but not completed, the call is no contest: no winner, no loser, because a half-played round proves nothing about a whole one.

Cred is the record all of this builds. It is not points and it does not only go up. It is a head-to-head win-loss tally with each friend, made of calls and matches, and it is the reason a Wednesday round matters to the person who watched it from the office.

Who this is for

The one who is working today

Your regular group is out at 1pm and you are at your desk. Follow the round live from your phone, call it at lunch, and know the result before they are in the car park.

The one who is injured

Out for six weeks does not mean out of the group. Watch every round, call every round, and keep your record with each of them alive.

The one in another time zone

Moved away, still in the chat. Spectate a Saturday round from the couch on Sunday morning, or call it the night before and wake up to the result.

The one who plays with you

You are in the same round. Call that you will beat them, and let both cards decide it. The call needs nothing from either of you but the scores.

Do your friends need the app?

The friend who is playing scores their round on Cleek, in their phone's browser, with no download. That is how the round exists for you to follow and how your call has something to resolve against. One person can score for the whole group, so if any one of them is on Cleek, the round is.

You, the watcher, need less than that. A live round or match opens from a link with no account at all. A free account is what keeps your calls, your record with each friend, and your feed of who is playing right now.

Add friends by name or email. From then on, their rounds find you: the moment they tee off, it is in your feed, and you are one tap from watching and one more from calling it.

Following friends' golf, questions people ask

Can I join my friends' golf round if I'm not playing?
Yes. On Cleek you follow a friend's round live from anywhere and call how it will go, will they break 80, how many birdies, over or under their number. Your call resolves off the scores they post, so you are in the round without being on the course.
What golf app lets me follow a friend's round live?
Cleek. When a friend starts scoring a round, it appears in your feed and you can open it on your phone: their score to par, the hole they are on, and the hole-by-hole card one tap away. It works in any browser with no app download.
Can I call a friend's round without being there?
Yes, and that is the point. You can call a friend's round before it goes live or while it is in progress, then come back for the result. Nothing is on the line except your record: no money, no prizes. Win the call and it goes on your Cred, a head-to-head win-loss record between you and that friend.
Do my friends need the app for me to watch their round?
The friend who is playing scores their round on Cleek, in the browser, with no download. You can watch their live round from a link with no account at all. A free account keeps your calls and your record with each friend.
What can I call on a friend's round?
Whether they break a score you name, how many birdies they make, whether they keep a clean card with no double bogeys, whether they go bogey-free, a par or better on a hole you pick, a birdie on a hole you pick, a par streak over a stretch of holes, the back nine under par, and more. If you are playing too, you can call that you will beat them.
When does a call on a friend's round resolve?
When your friend submits the round. Cleek reads the scores they posted and decides the call: a break-80 call is won by a 79, not an 80. If the round is never played the call quietly expires and nobody's record moves. If the card was not completed the call is no contest.

Your friends are playing Wednesday. Call it.

Add your friends, and the next round they play is yours to watch, follow and call, from wherever you are.
