Mine is current but its not truely official as mine is not ghin or what not. I love golf but hate math! My golf logix app automatically calculates its own handicap for me after each round scored. I keep it up to date on tst cus official or not it means something to me. When i first downloaded the app it was 36. After ten rounds it dropped to 28.6. I worked on my game as much as my life will allow and now its been holding steady at 21.4. So official or not, Id say thats a marked improvement, and its my favorite feature on  golf logix.

I’ve dropped my handicap from a 5.0 at the beginning of this year to a 3.3 with tournament golf (crazy, I know)! This weekend at Virtues Golf Club I shot 81 which had me tied for 2nd, 3 strokes back o

I finally have a legitimate handicap index (at least I believe so). I've been posting all rounds that were compliant and finally have 5 for the season. It will go up as I continue to post because

Down to a 2.7 thanks to some good tournament scores recently. In fact 9 of the 10 scores that count for my handicap have the tournament "T" beside them.

16.9 again.  

16.1 - couldn't break into 15s despite having 3 chances at it.   But 16.1 is my best official HI ever.  Next GHIN does not look good with the best score by far in the system likely to come off the list.

Just got my email, but I'm still waiting until I have enough rounds. Basing handicap off of one or two combined rounds is just not accurate enough.

How many "equivalent" 18-hole rounds do you have in your record so far?  The last I remembered, you had 3, but I know you've been playing some.

Got back under 5 for the third time. Was 4.8 last November before going back up 12/15, 4.9 on 1/1 before jumping back to 5.3, and now 4.8 again.  Hopefully I can put together a few good rounds and stay under 5 this time so I can start concentrating on getting under 4. :beer:

More than 8 in GHIN. I have 13 and 14 hole rounds as well, but didn't know how to enter it into GHIN.

Par+Handicap for unplayed holes.

Of course, if you don't have a handicap yet… estimate? I don't know.

Yeah, not sure either. I'll just try to play more complete rounds in the near future.

If you have 8 scores in Ghin, you have a handicap, even if its based on just the 2 or 3 best scores.  Use that handicap when you're calculating your score to post when you didn't finish all 18 holes.  As long as you play at least 13 holes, you can post an 18-hole score.

That's what we're here for, to learn from each other.  I've just become the chair of my club's handicap committee, and I know I'll be asking for help soon.

No change at 16.1.   The best score in the system came off but I held my own.  I hope to break into 15s in the next GHIN on 3/31.

No change for me this time (4.8 still) however there will likely be some volatility for next time.  I'm playing at least 3 or 4 rounds before April 1 (two of them are big tournaments).

      Day 128: 5/3/24 Spent 10 minutes chipping and putting at The Creek golf course after visiting a relative.  Greens are slow, and I putted quite well. Perhaps I should seek courses with much slower greens!

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By snapfade ·

      Not to take away from the OP's question but the Snell 3.0 is about all you could ask for in a ball. I'm not a paid spokesman and my opinion does not reflect on the owner of the site. Lexi Thompson could beat most people with a Top Flite, or a Nitro. Ben Griffin? He doesn't offer a lot of street cred so I'll pass. Now if Fat Perez or Heavy Ballesteros start using it then?????? 😀

      RIP Peter Oosterhuis

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Just read that Peter Oosterhuis passed away. He was the one and only celebrity I have asked for an autograph! In September 2007, I was in the Charlotte Airport awaiting a flight reading my October 2007 Golf Magazine. It was during the FedEx playoffs and Tiger had just won the previous tournament with the Tour Championship the next event. I watched the event listening to the dulcet tones of Peter Oosterhuis, among others. I opened the magazine, and started reading an article about Oosterhuis and the opening picture had him posing as James Bond in a movie’s opening sequence. I looked up from the article and he was sitting directly across from me!    I approached and showed him the article and asked if he would sign the photo. Mr. Oosterhuis asked “Are you keen on golf?” When I responded positively, we spoke for about 10 minutes discussing the fact that both Phil and Tiger had won FedEx events prior to the Tour Championship. He was very gracious and a wonderful storyteller. I was saddened by his battles with dementia and missed him on CBS’s telecasts.
