Why GHIN Integration Matters
The USGA’s Golf Handicap Information Network (GHIN) is the standard for official handicap tracking in the United States.
If you:
Play competitive events
Maintain an official handicap
Care about accurate scoring
Want to measure long-term improvement
GHIN integration is essential.
Without it, you’re manually entering scores into multiple systems.
With WhyGolf, eligible scores can sync directly while remaining tied to your performance analytics.
That means:
Fewer steps
Fewer errors
Clearer performance tracking
