Your handicap should not live in a spreadsheet or an app you forget the password to. In Golfsocial you play your round, your marker confirms it, and your official WHS handicap updates itself. It is the real number, the one that counts at the club and in the match against your mates, and it sits right next to the people you played with. No double entry, no parallel version, no admin.
Three steps, no spreadsheet
- Log the round. Enter your scores hole by hole as you play, or fill it in afterwards. Pick the course, the tee, and you are away.
- Your marker confirms it. A playing partner reviews the card and approves it, the same check that makes a round count at your club.
- Your handicap updates. The maths is done for you, and your official WHS handicap moves, round by round.
What actually counts
Not every swing counts toward your handicap, and that is the point. A counting round needs a marker, a playing partner who verifies your score so the number stays honest. Under the World Handicap System your handicap is built from an average of your best 8 rounds out of the last 20, so one bad day will not wreck it and one lucky day will not flatter it. Golfsocial handles all of that quietly in the background.
Official, not roughly official
Plenty of apps will track a number for you. The difference is whether it means anything. Golfsocial is connected to Danish golf through DGU, so the handicap you see is the genuine one, the same figure that decides your tee in a club competition and settles the argument on the first hole. Read how to get an official handicap in Denmark. Your golf gets to be social without ever being less than official.
Watch it move
A handicap is more fun when you can feel it heading somewhere. Every counting round nudges it, and because the round is right there in Golfsocial, the progress is something you follow rather than something you look up twice a year. Log a good one, share it with your group, and let the numbers that lower your handicap tell the story alongside you.

Common questions
Is the handicap official?
Yes. Because it comes through DGU, it is the same score that counts toward your official handicap, not a re-entry or a parallel version.
What is a marker?
A playing partner who reviews and confirms your score, so the round counts as a qualifying round.
How is my handicap calculated?
Under the World Handicap System it is the average of your best 8 rounds out of your last 20 counting rounds. Golfsocial does the maths for you.
Does it work with my home club?
Yes. Because Golfsocial connects through DGU, the round that counts at your club is the same one in the app.
Does it cost anything?
No. Golfsocial is free on iPhone and Android.
