iSandbagger is all you need to have fun and keep it fair. Play Golf and Have Fun. Give it a try today!

*Note: The ability to post a golf score online varies from club to club. Many golf clubs, and of course online handicap services such as Yahoo or MyScorecard.com, allow you to post online. Some golf clubs may not allow members to post their scores except when they are physically at their club.

The Posting feature works with many common handicap services, both online and club based. You simply choose from a list of handicap affiliations / service providers. If we don't have your handicap service provider listed, you can choose the Generic option. With the Generic option the iSandbagger App will analyze your club's web pages and fill-in the golf course specifics and score for you as able. That way you can simply review the web page and then post or save the score. We automate the process yet still give you the ability to verify any score that is posted.

Some online services are designed for detailed golf round analysis and include entry of various stats for each hole. Our system is not designed to accommodate this type of online service.

If you have the need for any additional golf handicap service provider, please let us know and we'll do our best to add your handicap posting service to the list.

Play Golf and Have Fun.  Give it a try today!

Just in time for the U.S. Open, JTApps releases iSandbagger for iPhone

Carlsbad, Calif., June 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Tiger Woods brought attention to the USGA Handicap System when he stated a 10-handicapper couldn’t break 100 on a U.S. Open course. iSandbagger gives golfers a few simple tools to understand and validate a handicap, view score expectations, and easily post scores right from their iPhone.

"We found many golfers need a few simple tools before, during, and after a round of golf" said the developer of the App. "We set out to provide 3 functions: 1) Show players how their handicap index translates to today’s course. This is especially useful if there are bets negotiated on the first tee; 2) Provide quick access to some common rules; and 3) Allow posting directly from their iPhone. This is very helpful to club members that aren't playing at their home course, and the many players who don't have club affiliations, that want to quickly post their score."

It's interesting to note that an 81 can be a very good score for a 3-handicaper, even on a Par 71 course. For example, use the iSandbagger App to look at Ben Roethlisberger. Roethlisberger, a 3-handcap, shoots 81 during the Golf Digest U.S. Open Challenge at Bethpage Black. With the difficult conditions of this course, a 148 slope rating and 76.6 course rating, iSandbagger tells us his course handicap is 4, his course handicap score is 81, his expected average score is 84, and his 81 that day is only likely to happen 1 out of 5 times. This example is shown on the iTunes App store.

Posting from the iPhone brings the handicap system into the modern age. Golfers no longer need to keep their scorecard until getting back to the office or home club. iSandbagger works with numerous handicap data service providers including GHIN, a USGA handicap service providing handicap data to over 10,000 clubs and nearly 2 million golfers.

iSandbagger, true to it's name, can highlight someone’s index that may be incorrect. The info page discusses handicaps and expected scores, and a score probability graph shows a golfer’s expected score for a particular course along with the statistical odds of this occurring. This is useful if you suspect a friend’s index may not be accurate. The guy with a 19-handicap that shoots 88 at La Costa either just had the round of his life or more likely doesn't have his handicap established correctly. iSandbagger tells us the odds of this are 382:1. Often players don't correctly post their scores. This player could have an artificially high handicap due to posting a few 10's on holes when his Equitable Stroke Control should be 8. The handicap system is a great system, but the more golfers that understand the system and use it correctly, the more legitimate the handicap system is perceived.
