FAQ
Straight answers.
- Is Flash Caddie free?
- Yes. Downloading the app, scoring unlimited rounds, handicap tracking, and the Apple Watch app are free. A Pro subscription adds advanced insights, but your scorecard and handicap never sit behind a paywall.
- How does the golf handicap tracking work?
- Flash Caddie computes your Handicap Index with the USGA World Handicap System formula — score differentials from course rating and slope, averaged over your best 8 of your last 20 rounds. It updates automatically every time you finish a round. Learn more: How a golf handicap works →
- Is the handicap official, like GHIN?
- The math is identical to GHIN — same WHS formula, same best-8-of-20 selection. It is not an official index for tournament play (that requires posting through GHIN or your national association), but for tracking your real number it matches. Learn more: How to post a score to GHIN →
- Can I calculate my handicap without the app?
- Yes — we publish a free browser-based WHS calculator that runs the same math the app uses. Enter your recent rounds and get your Handicap Index instantly, no sign-up. Learn more: Free golf handicap calculator →
- Does the scorecard work without cell signal?
- Yes. Flash Caddie is offline-first: every score saves to your device the moment you tap it, and everything syncs to the cloud when you have signal again. A dead zone on the back nine never blocks scoring.
- Can my group share one live scorecard?
- Yes. One player hosts the round and invites the group; everyone scores from their own phone (or one scorer enters for the group) and every card stays in sync in real time. Learn more: Live group scorecards →
- Does Flash Caddie work on Apple Watch?
- Yes — a free watchOS companion app is included. Score strokes and putts from your wrist with big tap steppers while your phone stays in the bag; everything syncs live to the phone scorecard. Learn more: Scoring on Apple Watch →
- What golf stats does it track?
- Score to par, putts per hole, round history, scoring-average trends, and handicap movement — captured in the same taps you use to keep score. No separate stat-entry chore after the round. Learn more: Which golf stats to track →
