What's the difference between net and gross?

Gross is your raw score - the actual number of strokes you took on a hole.

Net is your score after handicap strokes are deducted on the appropriate holes (decided by stroke index). Net scoring lets players of different abilities compete on equal terms.

Most formats in the app default to net. Stroke Play can be switched to gross if everyone in your group plays off the same handicap.
