USGA Database does not match course scorecard/website?

[baw1]

So I am noticing this a lot on various courses (and tees). When I go to put in my scores and slope/rating, the slope/rating on the course scorecard (and website usually) do not match the USGA national website database. Found here: https://ncrdb.usga.org/NCRDB/NCRListing.aspx.

Is the USGA website more accurate/current?

Thanks

Yes. That's the current official rating.

Sometimes courses don't immediately throw out their old scorecards… or sometimes their ratings expire and they "update" the ratings themselves (unofficially).

Ok, good. I have been using their numbers. Thanks!

Use the "Gin App" it has the correct ratings. Also, if you post at a computer at any course, the data will also be correct.

If it's not correct, bring it o the attention of the golf staff.

I use 2 different apps which are both free. TheGrint (officially recognized Hcp) & SkyGolf (not official). SkyGolf (formerly OobGolf) allows you to put in the slope/rating manually and override what they have in their system. So I look them up and do so. TheGrint does not allow you to manually override their values (unfortunately). They do have a mechanism to contact them in and request updates for courses/tees..

Those are both very good golf apps. I also like "GolfGameBook" It does allow you to modify ratings/slope, the only drawback is they no longer support Android phones, only IOS phones now.

Support usually updates course data bases very quickly for both Grint & SkyGolf.
