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).

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.

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By Daz_96 ·

      The hype with the LAB Putters is something ive kept a keen eye on but i havent actually tried one... yet!! I use a SeeMore PCB and have done for around 8 years now and it was a gamechanger for me. It was the first time i had been fitted for a putter and from then ive totally bought into the fact that the technology in the putters makes a massive difference The only issue i have with LAB was that i did quiz them on Instagram what the difference between my PCB and a LAB Putter would be as the PCB from what i can find is just as balanced as the LAB Putters, however LAB couldnt tell me what the difference was and just said they didnt beleive in SeeMore Technology, but i wanted to know 'Why'!!  So yeah, the tech im sure works and think if anyone hasnt gamed a putter like LAB or SeeMore where custom fitting is crucial, then you gotta give it a go!
