Linking your GHIN lets GolfApp pull in your official handicap index automatically and keeps it up to date. It also lets you post scores back to GHIN directly from the app.
How to link your GHIN
- Go to Settings
- Tap Handicap
- Enter your GHIN number
- Tap Save
That's it. GolfApp will pull in your current handicap index and keep it updated whenever you open the app, view your profile, or get added to a round.
What happens once it's linked
- Your handicap index updates automatically
- Games that use handicaps (Nassau, Stroke Play, etc.) stay accurate without manual updates
- You can post completed rounds back to GHIN — see Posting scores back to GHIN
Don't have a GHIN? No problem. You can enter an estimated handicap index instead. This estimate will be used whenever you're added to a round or a game. You can update it anytime in Settings > Handicap.
