Handy Cap app tracks the handicaps of your golfing mates
We’ve been wanting something like this for ages; a fast, simple way of tracking the progress of your golfing mates.
We can’t help but let everyone know about this simple app that lets you track the handicaps of your golfing mates.
Available just for Android and iPhone users at the moment, Handy Cap lets you add a golfer’s name and GolfLink number to track their handicap and competition round results.
It’s the brainchild of Bradley Hohn, a keen golfer from Melbourne who whipped it up for his personal use.
A few of his mates started using it as well and, “in the end, I just decided to just chuck in on Google Play so that anyone could use it,” Hohn told us.
A list gives a quick view of each players handicap with a ‘dot representation’ of which of the 8 previous rounds are contributing to the handicap.
Tapping on a name gives a more detailed history of each of the last 20 competition rounds including a graph of the ‘played to’ handicap and official GA handicap.
Competition par, result and overall winner for the round is also provided for each round.
And that’s it. And that’s why we love it. Simple, easy to use and a fast way to keep up to date with how your mates are fairing on the golf course.
Reportedly a notification feature is in the works so will be notified when a friend posts a score. We’re told that more features will be added if the need is there and they can be easily implemented.
Handy Cap is available for Android users at the Google Play store or iPhone users at the Apple Store.
How do I delete a player from the Handy Cap app?
swipe the player’s name to the left and that will bring up the option to edit/delete.
What do the red results mean
Hi , I am a regular user of the Handy Cap app and for some reason over the last 5 days, it has not been updating. Has there been an issue from your end ?

I’ve had issues with it but seems to be working again now.
I deleted the app the other day as it would not refresh, now the App Store says it is not available.
Golf aus has stopped it
Why has it been stopped ?
Should this work on a laptop?
my app has stopped updating ,the last score recorded is 30th june ,how can i make it update every score?
On all my entries it say’s refresh error (refresh in the settings drawer) which I don’t understand. So I deleted the app and just put my name down and the same message comes up.

You’re right Carolyn, something has changed with the way the app grabs the data.
I think this has happened since Goff Australia has forced everyone to login to check their handicap.
I hope it can be fixed.
Yes mine is the same. Deleted the app but then found that the app is no longer available from the App Store either
Any answers to this problem yet
I’m hoping it has something to do with prep work on the world Hcp System and will work again afterwards.
I’ve had issues with it but seems to be working again now.
I have my Handicap but the Handy Cap app says Ensure ID is Valid?
I’m having all the same problems. I deleted the app and went to reinstall it but it says it is not available from either the australian store or the us store. Anyone have any ideas?
Aus golf have stopped it
I would be willing to pay for this app if it helps
