Upgrade Version

I purchased the upgrade so I could post direct to my GINN Handicap system. This feature isn’t working for me since I can’t verify my email address. The app crashes and support isn’t very helpful.

Amazing support!

Tried several apps and this one takes the cake! Easy to use especially when paired with a watch! Wow! So much great information! No need for the range finder! Support is outstanding as well. My home course recently changed hole order … on a whim, I decided to reach out and see if I could get someone to help. Had it fixed in 24 hours! Just awesome! Do yourself a favor and download. You will not be disappointed!
