TECH: Arccos Integrates with the USGA, Enables Direct Handicap Posting

Arccos Golf is a leader in golf technology, designed to seamlessly help golfers of all skill levels track their performance on the golf course. And in furtherance of that goal, Arccos is announcing another industry-exclusive feature: integration with the United States Golf Association that allows Arccos members to post scores and view their Handicap Index directly from the award-winning Arccos Caddie app.

The new feature follows recent updates that help players maintain the most accurate performance data on their own game, including Enhanced Putting and Approach Stats, Hotspot Editing, and Strokes Gained by Club.

This new experience allows players with a Handicap Index to connect their Arccos account to the World Handicap Index and then leverage their on-course data to simplify the process of posting scores. These features are available at no charge for players with an active Handicap Index who are members of an Allied Golf Association (AGA) in the United States and its territories, including Puerto Rico. Those in eligible regions who are not currently AGA members will also be able to locate and join the appropriate AGA via a portal within the Arccos Caddie app.

Dave LeDonne, Arccos’ Vice President of Product, said:

“Given the large volume of Arccos members who maintain a Handicap Index, we’ve received a lot of requests to add score posting to the Arccos Caddie experience. In conjunction with the USGA, we’ve now made that a reality… We believe this integration will be a big benefit to Arccos members and will contribute to the growth of AGA memberships throughout the region.”

For players outside of the eligible regions, Arccos is currently exploring similar integrations with golf associations around the world.
