Posting your scores to the USGA® Handicap Index™ is quick and easy. Just follow these steps:

1. Track your score during your round as usual.

2. When you finish, tap the menu icon in the top-left corner and select Finish round.

3. Tap the Post score button.

4. On the next screen, you'll have the option to edit your round details, including:

- Date of the round

- Score type (Home, Away, Competition)

If the course you played is found in the USGA® database and your score is complete, you may just need to select the tee you played from (if it wasn't auto-selected).

If needed, you can manually edit the Slope Rating®, Course Rating™, and adjusted score.

5. Tap Confirm, and your score is now posted!

Missed posting your score at the end of the round? No problem - you can submit it anytime from your Playing history.
