Free ladder golf scoring app that knows the rules
Ladder golf is scored after both sides have thrown, because a good toss can knock an opponent's bola off the ladder. Enter what each side has left hanging, and the app adds it up, applies the same-rung bonus and holds you to exactly 21 if that is how you play.
- Enter each round: top rung 3, middle 2, bottom 1
- Bonus buttons for three bolas on one rung
- Exactly 21: a bust round does not count, or drops you back to 11
- Count-all or cancellation scoring, singles or doubles

How ladder golf scoring works
A bola hanging on the top rung is 3 points, the middle rung 2 and the bottom rung 1. Each player throws three bolas a turn, so nine is the most a turn can be worth before any bonus.
