Mine stayed the same 9.7 to 9.7.

I too received an email from our Pro stating that the GHIN system is down and that the GHIN people are working on it.

As an old IT guy, I figured that trying to roll out a world wide system in one day was next to impossible. Way too many things to go wrong.

It doesn’t matter.  The raw scores are irrelevant.  Only the differentials matter, and those remain the same, as calculated by the rules in effect at the time.

Well, they're really only rolling it out in the USGA areas, but that's still a big thing.  And I bet that GHIN had more traffic in the past few hours than at any time in its history, as we all try to find out what the new version is like.

An update, for me both the phone app and the website are up and allowing posting.  I checked a couple of courses in NC, and they DO have the data required for hole-by-hole posting ready to go.  Virginia is not as ready.  I haven't checked a lot of course, so I don't know it that's true for all, but the two I checked weren't ready to allow hole by hole posting.

Oops, let me edit this.  At least a few of the NC courses show the holes in what seems to be a random order.  They're not quite ready yet either.  Still, the data appears to be there.

I haven't played since April (injury) but I got .2 strokes better.  Perhaps if I don't play for 4 years I'll be scratch...

 

P.S.  I have the GHIN app for my phone and when I installed the app update I lost my entire list (40 - 50) of "partners" and their handicaps.  Even Donald Trump was on there.

It’s busy. People are pounding it.

I was a pounder.  When I updated and lost my list of "Partners" I emailed the USGA and heard back in 3 minutes!  They told me to take it up with my state association.

Actually, as a smart move, they should have rolled it out to the areas that are in their active season, and let us be the guinea pigs, and flush out the bugs. People that can't post for another 2-3 months would have a much smoother ride.

Mine went from 7.9 to 8.1.  The recent scores were pretty consistent so going from 10 to 8 didn't change things much but removing the 0.96 factor did, by 0.2 overall. No biggie.  My app (NCGA) is not available to download yet in the App store, so I posted online and my course was not available for HBH posting, so I just entered the total (no net double bogey adjustment needed)...

The problem is that you can still post scores to your handicap even if your state is inactive. If I go to Las Vegas and play, I would have to post that score even though Colorado is inactive.

Mine went down from 13.0 to 12.7. Alas, I won't get to post until April unless I go south this winter.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.

      Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By billchao ·

      That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.

      By billchao ·

      This is the part I don’t get. He’s not even kind of sandbagging, he’s blatantly doing it and submitting scores that are verified to be incorrect. How he’s not banned from competition is beyond me.
