Cap Patrol 4+

Don’t walk, run from this program. This is the worst program I’ve ever seen. Someone mistakenly thought they knew better than GHIN but missed by a mile. This program will do nothing but make members angry when they are penalized with no explanation of why. I have personally seen the miscalculations of my handicap. I’ve spoken with representatives of GHIN who were also frustrated with this app when presented with unfathomable drops in handicap indexes. My problem was made even worse when the pros of my club decided to take the ridiculous recommendation from cap patrol and manually input it as much GHIN handicap index. The GHIN reps informed me that this was not appropriate but, unfortunately, I still can’t undo the damage that was done to my low HI.

If your club is considering implementing cap patrol, make sure they do their research before they make a horrible mistake. Its great in theory but a broken system.

This program is pretty much a mirror of GHIN , that your club already pays for. The mistakes made trying to adjust the persons GHIN needs to be reviewed carefully by the clubs purchasing this program. Our club had specific golfers that the handicap committee thought would be picked out by cap , but they weren’t. The handicap system has all the tools to “catch “ all your “ sandbags and cheaters”, if the handicap committee would just have the guts to implement them.

Unfortunately our club is going to this app. If any other clubs are considering it, don’t, read the reviews and believe the warnings. It is impossible to even set up a sign in to begin. If an app can’t even do the easy things like sign in, I can only imagine how bad the rest of the app is. Stay away.
