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.

Scout before you play. Discover new courses and see them hole by hole. Real video clips from golfers who've actually played there. Plan your next round or your next trip after you Tour It. Tour It is the video-first hole by hole golf course scouting platform built around the question every golfer asks before a new round: what does this course actually look like? Search any course. Tap a hole. Watch real footage from people who just played it. See the line off the tee. See where the green sheds. Know what you're walking into. DISCOVER WHERE TO PLAY NEXT A vertical, swipeable feed of golf where every clip is tied to a course and a hole. Scroll from Pebble to Pinehurst to a muni you've never heard of three miles from your house. The next great round is usually closer than you think. PLAN THE TRIP Pulling together a buddy trip? Search Bandon, Scottsdale, the Sandhills, Florida. Every course has its own page with hole-by-hole intel uploaded by golfers who've actually played there. Build the itinerary with reads, not photos. FIND THE HIDDEN GEMS Tour It surfaces the courses tour books skip. The semi-private down the road. The reciprocal you didn't know about. The local muni that plays harder than its reputation. Real footage from real golfers, not stock photography. CONTRIBUTE WHAT YOU SEE Filmed something useful from your round? Upload it. Tour It auto-suggests the course and hole from the GPS in your video. Add a quick note about the wind or the line, and you've helped the next golfer who plays it. EARN YOUR RANK Every clip, scorecard, and note earns points. Level up through six golf-native ranks: Caddie, Player, Member, Pro, Champion, Legend. The more you contribute, the more you build your name on the platform golfers actually use. Tour It isn't a brand telling you what to play. It's a community of golfers building the scouting layer the game has always needed, one hole at a time. Scout before you play. Welcome to Tour It.
