I prefer this app over golfshot, which are the 2 that I have used frequently. I now use golfpad exclusively. The only option that I miss is being able to submit score to GHIN for handicap. Would be nice to have an option to submit the score to your GHIN when submitting / saving a round instead of having to have the GHIN app installed as well. Thanks, Jared

Thanks for the update on this. Being able to post to GHIN will be a huge value add. It is absolutely crazy that the USGA is dragging their heels on this. If they want average golfers to join regional golf associations, then they need to get with the times and provide people with an actual reason to have a membership. The fact that I have to download some silly app from golf canada just to post a score is ridiculous. I spend more time copying and pasting my scores between garmin, golfpad, golf canada app, and a paper scorecard than I do actual golfing.... :( We are all looking forward to this feature!

Has there been any progress with this in the last few months? I am keen to know if this is going to be available in the UK as well as the US.

Hi Forrest,

I know that many of you would like to know will this happen? When? Why is the process taking so long? While we understand your excitement and enthusiasm, please keep in mind that this is a request from Golf Pad to the USGA. Golf Pad does not get to dictate or question the USGA's process, timeline, agreements, etc. What we have been doing is everything in our power to keep this process moving forward. We will continue to expeditiously provide everything the USGA asks of us, and hope to complete this process very soon.

Believe it or not we are even closer today than we were at last post. Without being able to provide an exact date of availability, I can tell you that we are moving down the path towards making this request a reality. When Golf Pad has confirmation or a specific timeline, I will provide it here. Until then, please trust that we are doing everything in our power to complete this process and provide the feature that so many of you would like to see.

Is there anything we as members can do to help move this along? Maybe we, as a group, can inquire to the USGA as to the reason this hasn't been approved? I am sure there are enough subscribers to warrant a little bit of a larger voice.

Hi Doug, Thank you for the follow-up on this topic.

Our Golf Pad team has supplied the USGA with everything they have requested. The USGA has shared that they are very close to granting access.

We understand that Golf Pad users are very excited for the convenience of this feature, and we have been doing everything in our power to make this happen. It is our hope that we will be able to move forward in a matter of weeks to a few months. However, please understand it is difficult for Golf Pad to provide a specific timeline as the USGA provides final approval.

Is there any update on this? It's been years now. My home course app let's me do this but I can't get the detailed data that I do with your app. Their app just has a link that takes me to GHIN's website to post my round. It remembers my login and I just have to fill in the tees and round type.

There are no new updates from the USGA at this time. We are eagerly awaiting their next step. We are also working on having the feature available in the UK.

Any progress on this feature? If you are only in discussion with USGA does this mean the feature would not be available in the UK or outside the US?

We are in what I would call the final review stages by the USGA. We've performed actions requested by the USGA and are awaiting word from them. We appreciate your interest and patience. It's a feature we've been working with USGA to get approved for quite a while now. We are as eager to release it as you are to use it!

2 years later, are there any updates on if GHIN posting will ever be supported? Both TheGrint, and GolfShot both support this and GHIN has released their own app as well, so there is clearly an API for this... So, should we expect a change or is this another 2 years out? Har Har.

Randy, Golf Pad will compute WHS handicap index based on your playing history, just like it does with USGA, CONGU or EGA handicaps. It's unclear yet if we'll be able to maintain your official handicap card or automatically post scores to your official handicap provider. As more details become available, we'll post them on our blog: https://golfpadgps.com/news.

Back on the WHS ... if and when that goes live, will the app use the new format? Or, is this expected to be something that won't be "official" unless we pay extra for it (like the USGA and the GHIN)?
