An official handicap is a rating of your score versus par adjusted for course difficulty. Ideally, you should join a local golf club and establish an official USGA Handicap. You can enter this official handicap into Golfshot by selecting Account from the Launch Screen. If you wish to keep this handicap up-to-date manually, go to Account and then Score Settings and turn Auto Handicap to Off. If you leave Auto Handicap On, the Golfshot app will measure an approximate handicap allowing users to play with their friends using handicap scoring. However an official handicap is always recommended.
