CDGA and the GHIN App
New for 2025, all CDGA members now have the ability to utilize the GHIN® app to post scores and maintain their Handicap Index. GHIN® is the official app of the USGA’s Golf Handicap Information Network. Key features include:
Score posting (total score, hole-by-hole score and hole-by-hole score with stats)
Stat tracking (number of putts, approach shot accuracy and driving accuracy)
Course maps and GPS
3D course maps and enhanced GPS features, such as putt break map, approach shot heat map, shot tracking and more*
Smart watch integration
Games and group score keeping
A customized GHIN Rewind, which annually recaps your year in golf
There are two important items to note in relation to this enhancement:
Even if you choose to enter scores using a GHIN® product, you MUST still have a CDGA profile in order to partake in other member benefits, such as Chicago District Golfer magazine, CDGA Fantasy Golf, CDGA Member Perks, CDGA-conducted competitions and more.You can still post scores and manage your Handicap Index® through CDGA.org or the My CDGA app if you wish - this is meant to be a complementary option. All scores are routed to Centralized Computation for the Handicap Index® calculation, no matter the score posting method.
