Who should pick R2 Sports instead

Gimme is not the right tool for every league. Here is an honest split between the two.

Pick R2 Sports if

You only need a round robin schedule, standings and email, and you keep scores and handicaps yourself.
The lowest possible cost matters more than golf-specific features.
You run other sports leagues and want one tool.

Pick Gimme if

You want golfer-entered scores, league handicaps and skins calculated for you.
You want skins payouts and a pot ledger in the same place, with dues collection on League Pro once it turns on before the 2027 season.
You want a tool made only for golf leagues.

What people look for when they leave R2 Sports, and how Gimme handles it

Each item shows the evidence and where we found it, then what Gimme is built to do. Paid checkout, text messages and dues collection turn on before the 2027 season, and we say so where it matters.

General sports software, not golf league software
What we found
The golf page describes seeding round robin schedules, updating league scores and printing league sheets. It does not mention handicaps, skins or dues.Vendor page, checked Oct 25, 2026
How Gimme handles it
Gimme is built only for golf leagues: league handicaps, stroke dots on every hole, skins, side games and position rounds.
The league director enters scores
What we found
The page says league directors “update league scores”. It does not say whether golfers can enter their own.Vendor page, checked Oct 25, 2026
How Gimme handles it
Golfers post their own scores on their phones, so the commissioner reviews instead of typing cards.

We found no public review-site or forum complaints about R2 Sports for golf. We would rather say that than invent one.

The golf league page we read does not mention handicaps, skins or dues. That does not mean it cannot, only that those pages do not say. Ask R2 Sports before you rely on it for them.

Why would I pay more for Gimme than R2 Sports?

For golf-specific work: golfer-entered scores, league handicaps, skins and payouts, and dues collection on League Pro once it turns on before the 2027 season. If all you need is a schedule and standings, R2 Sports costs far less.

Can I switch from R2 Sports to Gimme?

Gimme’s migration kit imports players, past scores and handicaps from a spreadsheet in any layout or a generic CSV, and the team does the import for you on every paid plan. Importers for GolfSoftware League Manager, Golf League Network and Golf League Tracker exports are in beta. You review the result before anything is saved.
