The short answer
The FG Handicap is Future Golf's own handicap, built from the rounds you score in the Future Golf app. It isn't an official handicap. It's our version of the handicap you'd see in other golf scoring apps, designed to help you track your game. To score a round, tap Score, then Play Now.
What is the FG Handicap?
Your handicap, tracked in the app
Every round you score in the Future Golf app can count towards your FG Handicap. Once you've scored 3 rounds, the app calculates your FG Handicap and keeps it up to date as you play more.
See how it's tracking
Tap Score, then FG Handicap to see your current handicap, a chart of your handicap history, and the rounds that make it up, including the course, your gross score and the slope rating. Filter the history by your last 5 rounds, last 20 rounds or all rounds.
Not an official handicap. The FG Handicap is Future Golf's own way of tracking your scores. It isn't an official handicap.
