Ditto. I use the app all the time and it is such a time saver having so many of my friends and golfing partners in there.

Massive thanks from me BGH.

Anyone know of other Australian pros that keep a GA? Adam? Jason?

Jason Days used to be around somewhere.

Here is a fun fact for you. When you go to add a new user in Handy Cap, there is a default hint value of Jason Day in the "Player Name" field. The default hint value in the "Golfer ID" field is Jason Day's actual golflink number.

Really great app - well done Best quick display availableCan you explain why sndroid alerts are not available on IOS ThanksQUOTE=BGH;1309441]I mentioned this app in another thread a while back but I thought I would just create a new one to keep track of it easier.Due to the painful experience of trying to use the golflink site/app, a couple of years ago I developed an Android app for checking handicap histories. It's just a simple little app where you can chuck in the Golflink ID for you and your mates and check everyone's handicaps, round histories, comp winners etc. A few people started asking for a copy so I ended up putting it on Google Play Apps.After a bit of pestering from iPhone users, I recently decided to pick up iOS development and port it over. So Handy Cap is now available for iOS on the App Store as well. I would appreciate it if you guys could be early adopters and provide some feedback.Handy Cap on the Apple App Storeand as previouslyHandy Cap on the Android Play StoreOr just search for Handy Cap[/QUOTE]

Short answer = I'm a bit time poor at the moment.

Long answer = To be honest, I had forgotten all about this I've been busy with a lot of other stuff of late. I half finished the required code a few months back, but haven't touched it since. Local notifications are a bit more awkward to work with on iOS than they are with Android. The fact that I am not a very good programmer certainly doesn't help matters either. It's also not something that is easy to test in the simulator and I don't actually own any iOS devices.

But you have reminded me that I should probably dust off that code and finish it off, so stay tuned for an update in the near(ish) future.

Looks like Golf Australia is going to make it difficult for BGH, and try to stop people using 3rd party apps through requiring a log in to view handicaps. Wankers.


From Golf Australia
To – All Australian Golf Clubs (24 July 201
Dear All,
I am writing to let you know that from Tuesday 4 September all golfers and officials will need to log-in to view handicaps and handicap histories on www.golf.org.au.
The new log-in process will involve users registering their email address with Golf Australia (GA). Once logged-in, all users of www.golf.org.au will have full access to the same range of world-standard handicapping functionality they currently experience. This includes a person being able to view the handicap history of any golfer they know the GOLF Link number of. Having wide access to handicap records remains a key feature of the handicapping service GA provides to all officials and golfers, and it is an important safeguard against handicap manipulation.
Asking users to log-in to an internet service has become a standard operating practice. By moving in this direction GA will be able to develop and maintain a rich source of data to generate insights that will be critical to growing the industry’s capacity to support golf clubs and their businesses. It will also be used to communicate important information and updates, and to develop innovative ways to improve the golf experience of individual players. (This source of data will be strictly separate to any personal member data provided directly by clubs to GA to enable the operation of GOLF Link. Member data provided directly by clubs is closely protected by data privacy legislation and may not be used by GA for the above purposes.)
Some other important elements of this new process are:
• There will be a workaround available to people who do not have an email address.
• There will be no restrictions on who can register to use the handicapping service on www.golf.org.au.
• Any individual who registers will have the choice to opt out of receiving any commercial marketing.
• The new log-in process will only apply when using www.golf.org.au to access handicap or score history information. Nothing will change for the experience of a member when they remain within their club software system.
• GA’s policy on data protection can be viewed at – www.golf.org.au/privacypolicy.
• If a user wishes, they will be able to remain continually logged-in to avoid having to enter their password every time they start a new viewing session.
We will post reminders and further information closer to 4 September. This will include via the GA website, on social media channels, and in various email communications.
Please feel free to raise any queries with GA’s Rules & Handicapping Director, Simon Magdulski, at simonm@golf.org.au. Or with me directly. All the best.
Yours sincerely,
Stephen Pitt
Chief Executive Officer

Great, more spam to the email address.

Unless....

There will be a workaround available to people who do not have an email address.

Yeah I heard through the grapevine a while back that this may be coming in. Will just have to wait and see how it pans out I guess. Certainly doesn't look good for the future of Handy Cap though sorry guys. Bit of a shame, I was halfway through re-writing it from scratch with a heap of new features.

Can you add the log in step to the app?

[BGH]

Can you add the log in step to the app?

From a technical perspective, most likely yes. Would really prefer to not go down that path if I can avoid it though.

[Maxbxl]

Yeah can here to post this but looks like I was beaten to it.

Top app btw. I've gotten most of my golfing mates in it!
