Golf Handicap Software

A golf handicap is a measure of a golfer's playing ability and allows him/her to be evenly matched with others he/she plays. It's a great equalizer that makes golf more enjoyable for those who like to compete in events or among friends. The Golf Handicap Network^℠ provides a handicapping solution for all golfers.

The USGA Handicap System^™ service is available for golfers (through licensed clubs) who wish to play in "higher end" competitive events and the Portable Golf Handicap System^℠ is available for all others. The User Defined Handicap System exists as a special service for leagues and clubs.

All Golf Handicap Network services are Internet based and provide direct access (via unique login) for administrators and golfers. The services share many user attributes, however each has unique features that are unmatched. Key features of the Golf Handicap Network include:

Golfer Center:  A private personalized page from where golfers can post scores, review their score record and access statistical information.

Club Administration:  A set of admin accessible features that include member management (CRM), score management, and detailed reporting.

Kiosk:   A public facing touch screen golfer interactive application designed to collect scores from golfers as they come off the course.

Interfaces:   The systems integrate seamlessly with the Golf Tournament Network and Golf League Network.

Note:  The USGA Handicap System service is active and in use throughout the Americas and can be accessed through this site. The PGHS and UDHS are available through the Golf League Network and will be available for public use in the spring (thank you for your patience).

USGA^® (Premier Service)

Handicomp (see history) was founded on the USGA Handicap System and recognizes it as the industry standard. The service is designed to compute handicaps for golfers belonging to USGA certified golf clubs and associations of those clubs. A USGA Handicap Index^® is a privilege and the Golf Handicap Network responds with a service that is second to none.

PGHS^℠ (basic service)

The Portable Golf Handicap System was originally developed seven years ago for golf leagues that played multiple courses during the season, which means handicaps had to adjust according to course (tee) difficulty. Beginning in the spring of 2013 this time tested system will be made available to all golfers.

user defined (special service)

The User Defined Handicap System was also developed for golf leagues. This system allows the league administrator to define the parameters that go into the calculation of handicaps. It is very flexible, but does not port well across tees. It, too, will be available in the spring of 2013, but only for leagues and clubs (an individual service will not be available).
