England Golf has launched a new app to help you get the most out of the new World Handicap System.

Although the World Handicap System launched a month ago, lockdown has meant that many of us haven't actually had the chance to play under it yet. 

So, if you're looking for a little bit of extra help getting to grips with it, we recommend downloading the new World Handicap System app from England Golf. 

The My England Golf (MyEG) app allows you to check your Handicap Index on the go and easily keep track of your playing record and past scores. 

The Course Handicap calculator is another unique feature of the new My England Golf app. 

This function allows you to cross-reference your Handicap Index with whichever set of tees you will be playing on, at any course in the country, in order to work out your Course Handicap. 

There is also the opportunity to link up with fellow golfers all over England and follow their progress by creating a ‘Friends’ group.  

After all, it's always good to keep an eye on your competition, err we mean friends...

Commenting on the launch of the My England Golf app, England Golf’s Head of Handicapping & Course Rating, Gemma Hunter, said: “The My England Golf app will help golfers around the country to keep track of their new Handicap Index as it updates after every score is submitted. Using the calculator function through the app will also make it far easier and quicker for golfers to work out what their Course Handicap will be for a certain set of tees at a specific golf club on any given day.  

“The team at England Golf is delighted to be able to bring this new app to golfers, and we are confident that it will make the transition from CONGU to the new WHS a much smoother and easier process for golfers around the country.” 

Download the MyEG app for FREE from the Apple or Google Play stores.
