The Caddie Stakes Golf Guide

Install the app on your phone

Caddie Stakes Golf isn't in an app store — it installs straight from the link below, like a shortcut. Once that's done, it works just like any other app on your home screen.

Sign in to the app

The first time, you'll need to create an account with an email and password. After that, the app remembers you.

• Tap the Caddie Stakes Golf icon on your home screen
• Already have an account? Enter your email and password and tap "Entrar" ("Sign in")
• First time? Tap "Criar conta" ("Create account"), then fill in your name, email and password

Get to know the home screen

This is the screen you land on right after signing in. The gold button in the middle is the important one — every round starts there.

• Tap "Nova Rodada" ("New Round") to start playing
• Use the icons at the bottom for history, the group ranking, and your profile

Start a new round

This is where you set up the game: pick the course, who's playing, and the wager format. If you've played with these people before, their names pop up on their own — just tap to fill them in.

• Choose the course (Graciosa is already set up)
• Type each player's name — names you've used before show up in a small list, tap one to fill it in. Connected friends show up with "✓ amigo" (see Step 8)
• Pick the wager format — Nassau, Match Play, Catraca, Medal, Skins, Stableford or Sindicato (Six / Twelves) — and check the amounts
• Tap "Iniciar rodada" ("Start round")

Enter your scores

There are three ways to enter scores in the app. Use whichever is easiest for you — they all lead to the same place. The round is saved on your phone with every score: if the app closes mid-round, just open it again and tap "Continuar rodada" ("Resume round").

See the result and save the round

After the last hole, the app settles the numbers on its own and shows, front and center, how much each player actually won or lost — that's the figure that decides the day's wager.

• The screen always opens on "Cartão" — tap "Resumo", at the top, to see the final result
• Green with a + means that person won that amount; red with a −, that they lost it
• Scroll a bit to see the front-nine and back-nine breakdown — in Sindicato, you'll see the points standings, each player's share of the pot, and a hole-by-hole points table instead
• Right below the final balance you'll find "💸 Acerto via PIX" ("Settle up via PIX"): who pays whom in the fewest transfers, with QR code, copy-and-paste and WhatsApp buttons
• Scroll to the end and tap "💾 Salvar rodada" ("Save round") — without this, the round won't be saved to your history or counted in the group ranking

Check history and rankings later

Every saved round stays on record. You can look back at any past game, see who's ahead overall, or check your personal track record against a specific player.

• In the bottom menu, tap "Histórico" ("History") to see past rounds — on each one, "📄 Ver resumo da rodada" ("View round summary") reopens the full card and result, and "💸 Acerto via PIX" is there for whoever settles up later
• Tap "Ranking" and then "Geral" ("Overall") to see each player's running balance
• Tap "H2H" for head-to-head — type a player's name to filter just the games against them, and use the time filters (week, month, year) to track your recent form

Profile, friends and PIX key

In your Profile (the 👤 icon in the bottom menu) you set how you appear on the card, connect your playing partners, and save your PIX key to get paid (PIX is Brazil's instant-payment system).

• "Como você aparece no cartão" ("How you appear on the card"): your nickname or name + surname (e.g. "Paulinho" or "Paulo S."). It's how your friends find you and how your name goes into the round
• Under "Meus amigos" ("My friends"), tap "Convidar amigo pelo WhatsApp" — the same link works for the whole group. Whoever taps it creates an account (or signs in) and you're connected
• When setting up a round, pick the friend from the list where it says "✓ amigo": the round shows up in their app too. Only the people who played see it — no one else
• Rounds entered before you connected: on that friend, tap "Vincular rodadas antigas" ("Link past rounds") and confirm the name they used to appear under
• Under "Minha chave PIX", save your key (phone, CPF, email or random key). When the round ends, whoever lost to you gets the QR code or copy-and-paste code with the exact amount
