With the recent changes, the calculation of handicaps for any tee has become more complicated. You can get handicaps for any tee from websites or apps, but it requires a number of steps through the process to get them. The Golfer App lets you setup groups of players and courses for the family, friends or league that like play together, and provides fast access to tee handicaps for anyone in your groups. Friends, family or league player groups can be setup to get rapid access to tee handicaps. Golf course tees can also be organized in groups of favorites. Once setup, selecting any golfer will show that persons handicap for all of the tees in all of the groups. Similarly, selecting any tee will show the handicaps for all players in all groups for that tee. The new version has been updated with a new interface providing easier access to handicap information for players and courses. Your golfer data is now saved locally on your device as well as on your iCloud Drive, making your data available anywhere with good or weak connections. This latest version has several improvements helping you get quick access to handicaps on the golf course, while still allowing you to use the same data on your other iCloud connected devices when you need to review at home. This version will also operate on a single device without an iCloud Drive connection, storing the information locally.
