Pro-V-None Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Is there any way I can have my golf watch that I use for pretty much every round (unless I forget it on the charger) sync with the site that I use for track my handicap? It would be so much more convenient, especially considering how it tracks my fairways hit, greens in regulation, sand saves etc. that I don't bother to input manually on the website. The site I use -- www.ushandicap.com -- doesn't sync up with the watch, nor can I get an answer on their community page. My watch carries my handicap but I don't think I can use it for official play, which I'd like to get into this summer. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment
Syks7 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I can't answer about websites that sync with your watch, but to get a handicap for official play you're going to have to sign up with your local or state golf organization. The USGA website has a page that details how to sign up. https://www.usga.org/handicapping/getting-a-usga-handicap-index.html It pointed me at the SCGA and I signed up. You have to manually enter the scores into the GHIN app, but as far as I know that is the only way to establish a handicap for competition.

Pandaman Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 The Garmin Golf app does give a 'Handicap' statistic that gives a reasonable assessment of your current playing ability, but it's not 'official' in any shape or form. Quote Link to comment
fixyurdivot Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 It seems most clubs/leagues/events require a USGA handicap for "official" competition.

cnosil Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 What it would require is an export feature for your watch and an import feature for the app you are using. For handicap purposes, you just need score and course information. I would suggest track you stats in one place and then enter the score information in you official handicap tracking app. Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54/12D, 60/8M w/:Accra iWedge 90 Graphite Putter: Sacks Parente MC 3 Stripe Backup Putters: Milled Collection RSX 2, mFGP2, Futura 5W, TM-180 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment

Kegger Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I use the Garmin Vivoactive 4 when I golf, and all the tracking I do with the watch on course is saved automatically to the Garmin Golf App. If you go to the "Scorecards" section in the app, select your round, and flip the phone horizontally, your full scorecard with Score, Fairways, GIR, Putts, etc will be displayed. I use this scorecard layout from Garmin to manually transfer the round into my handicap tracker of choice (currently The Grint) on my computer. It's a manual process, but it doesn't take more than a minute or two to transfer the information because the Garmin Golf app lays it out it in an easy to read format.
