GHIN: Handicap Index® & GPS7.0.1 - App Store

GHIN is the app built for golfers by the USGA - post scores, track your Handicap Index(R), play with GPS, and see the stats that show how your game is trending.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

. Post scores and track stats - Update your Handicap Index by posting total or hole-by-hole scores, with the option to track fairways, greens in regulation, and putts.
. Play a round with GPS: simplified setup, richer course graphics, one-handed scoring, or switch to a simple digital Scorecard if you'd rather skip GPS
. See your game in the new Stats section: recent trends, score history, hole-by-hole, advanced stats, and course-specific performance
. Set up and play fair matches against other golfers with a Handicap Index - including front nine / back nine / overall results
. Compete on virtual leaderboards through Challenges, at select courses through your Allied Golf Association
. Play hands-free - track your whole round right from your Apple Watch

GETTING STARTED & UPGRADES

. Start with a Free Trial: post 3 scores to get an Estimated Handicap Range, and continue posting for 30 days after that
. Enhanced GPS is available as a premium upgrade - Green Maps and front/back yardages on your phone, plus hazard and layup yardages on Apple Watch.
. Membership through an Allied Golf Association is required for full app functionality
