Platform Features
Everything the day demands. Nothing it doesn't.
Redswing is a charity golf tournament management platform with online player registration, no-app mobile scoring (players receive a text link), text-to-bid silent auction via SMS, sponsor management, and an AI-generated post-event fundraising report. There are no setup fees or monthly charges.
From the first registration to the post-event board report. All in one platform. Free to set up.

Online registration that actually works on a phone.
Players register individually or as a team in under 3 minutes. Custom questions, add-ons at checkout, automatic confirmation with calendar invite. No login required for registrants.
- Team and individual registration in the same flow
- Add-ons at checkout: mulligans, contest entries, dinner tickets
- Confirmation email with calendar invite sent automatically

Live Scoring
Hole-by-hole scoring from the cart. No app. No login.
On event morning, players get a text link. Tap it — their group's scorecard is there. Big plus/minus buttons, one question per hole. The leaderboard updates the moment they submit. Works in direct sunlight on any phone.
- Works on any smartphone without an app download
- Formats: scramble, best ball, stroke play, net scoring
- Organizer can override any score from the dashboard
- Real-time leaderboard visible on the clubhouse TV
Silent Auction + Text-to-Bid
The auction runs itself — while your players are on the back nine.
Mobile bidding, no app needed. Or text BID 1 $350 to place a bid without even opening a browser. Outbid alerts keep the competition going all round long. Anti-snipe protection extends the auction automatically on last-minute bids.
- Text-to-bid: players text from the course, get instant confirmation
- Automated outbid alerts: reply to retake the lead
- Anti-snipe: bids in the last 2 min extend the auction automatically
- Settlement in one click: payment links sent to winners by text
Sponsor Management
Sponsors pay themselves. Logos go everywhere automatically.
Create sponsor tiers, share a link, and sponsors pay online. Their logo appears automatically on the leaderboard, scorecards, event page, and mobile scoring header. After the event, every sponsor gets an impact report.
- Self-serve payment — no invoice chasing, no Venmo
- Logos on: leaderboard, event page, PDF scorecards, scoring header
- Hole sponsorship: company name on the specific hole's scorecard
- Sponsor Impact Report: impressions, attendees reached, renewal link

Peer-to-Peer Fundraising
Every player becomes a fundraiser. Even the people who couldn't make it.
Each registered player gets a personal fundraising page they can share with their network. Supporters who aren't at the event can watch the live leaderboard and donate in real time. A score-submission donation prompt captures impulse gifts at the exact right moment.
- Player fundraising pages: shareable via LinkedIn, email, text
- Live leaderboard visible to supporters following from home
- Score-submission prompt: cap off your round with a personal gift
- Platform average: peer-to-peer events raise $4,200 more
Communications & SMS
Every player, every update, right to their phone.
Send scoring links on event morning. Blast an auction update when your best item gets a bid. Text all players who haven't submitted scores yet. All from the organizer dashboard, with templates already written.
- Scoring links texted to all players at the start of the round
- Segment sends: all players, by flight, not-yet-scored, custom
- Pre-written templates: scoring, auction open, leaderboard update
- Delivery tracking: see who received, who failed
