October News and New Features

October was a month of major focus on USGA guidelines to ensure our Handicaps are as official as they get. We have been creating the platform that will host the USGA Clubs that will provide all of our members with valid USGA Handicaps.  We will launch very soon and you will be able to print your own Handicap Card that you can use for USGA sanctioned events or any other tournament.

Additionally, we have had many other efforts, here is a list of new features and refinements that we have launched this month:

Activity Feed posts and Picture uploads 

You can now post comments on each other Activity Feeds, you can also upload pictures and comment on those. Pretty basic but a lot of fun!

Friends lists

Now friends can be classified in lists. It then allows you to filter your ranking table on the dashboard to show only the friends you want to compare yourself with. In my case it makes it a lot of fun because I did not wanted to compare with my scratch golfer friends so I could have a chance to be on top of the ranking.

Everyone got two default groups: “my golf buddies” and “my rivals”, and you can assign your friends to those lists on the “friends” page. But you can also create your own lists and name them however you want.

Facebook’s Shares

After you upload a score or you are reviewing a score you can now brag about your achievements on Facebook. Just click on the “Share on Facebook” button on the Add Score screen and it will automatically do it for you

Facebook’s Rapid Handicap Calculator

Our latest Facebook TheGrint app allows you to estimate your Handicap very quickly by just saying what is your typical score. This is great for those friends who are not convinced they need a handicap yet, but just want to know how big their Handicap might be if they track it.

Other Refinements

We have also worked on many other refinements like the Course Request form and other contact us points. We have added over 100 courses to our database (locally in the US and Internationally). We have fix some other minor bugs.

Remember we are and always will be on BETA, so all of our new features are guided by your feedback, so the more you tell us the more we will be able to solve your needs! This month of Novemeber you should see many more features come your way, stay tuned.

Enjoy your golf!
