Ratings and reviews

Horrible. The website won't do anything after clicking the post score button half the time. The app locks up ( just shows spinning icon ) after changing golfers. If I get it to change then after clicking the post score button on the homepage it goes to a blank white page and does nothing. Closing the app and reopening won't fix it. The search for courses to enter isn't very good. I.e. it darn near has to be perfect to find the course. Somehow the recently played course list says none...

FIXED! It kept crashing during opening, with this message: "An error has occurred. Please try again later. If the problem persists, please contact technical support." Contacted USGA and they punted me to my state association, as if they'll have a clue (and they didn't). Samsung Galaxy S7 with up-to-date OS. Tried rebooting, re-installing, etc. FIXED! I uninstalled and reinstalled again, and then LOGGED IN WITHOUT THE LEADING 0 (123456, vs. 0123456), and now it works.

What used to be the best free app out there is now AWFUL. The functionality is completely counterintuitive. The fonts are too small (making reading the date virtually impossible). Even the most basic function (posting scores) is difficult to do. This is a very big disappointment. With the new handicapping system and daily changes to handicaps using the app should be much much easier. Please bring back the previous version!

What's new

In this release, we introduced the ability for golfers to delete scores on the day of posting to prevent posting incorrect scores. Golfers can find the Delete Round button on their Round Summary screens until midnight of the day of posting. Note that in order to correct a deleted round the golfer needs to post a new score, and any stats tracked on deleted rounds will be lost.
