Must have app for mixed tee play.
All of the competitions at my club are mixed tee events. This app handles the shot calculations quickly and accurately. I’ve recommended to everyone I play with.

Description
WHS Handicap Calculator is an all-in-one golf handicap calculator app for calculating individual and team Playing Handicaps with mixed-tee adjustments for all popular formats of play.
This app calculates the Course and Playing Handicaps under the World Handicap System for all popular formats and applies recommended handicap allowances and mixed-tee adjustments. The Playing Handicaps for both stableford and medal scoring are provided. This app caters for all golfers with a WHS Index, including plus-handicap golfers and offers settings for Course Handicap for use in multiple countries.
Whether you are organising friendly matches for your club or playing in team or mixed competitions, this app may be used to calculate the handicaps for all golfers including strokes received in match play. Or you may be playing in your regular four-ball and decide on the day the format and the tee(s). Just enter the relevant information in the app to get the recommended WHS Playing Handicaps for all players before you tee off.
Using the App
Create and manage your list of 18-hole and 9-hole courses by adding the Course Rating, Slope Rating and Par for each tee. You may also add from a custom list provided in this app and edit as necessary to maintain accuracy. The ratings may get updated from time to time so always check the data used in the app are current and accurate and update accordingly.
Use the Single tab if all golfers play off the same tee. Use the Mixed tab if more than one tee is used. Select the golf course, tee(s) and format of play. Enter the Handicap Indexes for the group of players. For a plus-handicap golfer enter the Handicap Index as a negative value. Share handicaps easily with playing partners or opponents prior to your match.
Calculation of Course Handicap and Rounding
Under the WHS, countries may or may not apply the discretionary (CR – par) item in the calculation of Course Handicap. It is not applied in GB&I while it is in the US and many other countries. The Playing Handicap and any mixed-tee adjustments depend on the formula used for calculating CH.
Another aspect that is different across countries is rounding. The full Course Handicap is used for calculating the Playing Handicap in Scotland while it is first rounded to a whole number in England, Wales and Ireland. The 9-hole Course Handicap is calculated by halving the Handicap Index, but this value may or may not be rounded to one decimal place in the calculation. The applied rounding may result in a difference of a full stroke in Playing Handicaps.
This app contains all the relevant settings for Course Handicaps and adds any applicable mixed-tee adjustments to the Playing Handicap.
Mixed Tee Adjustments
For competitions or friendly games where multiple tees are used, the mixed-tee adjustments to handicaps are added to achieve equity when Course Ratings and/or pars are different. It also applies to fully mixed team formats to allow for rounding and the relative impact of the adjustments to individuals and teams. In this app, whenever multiple tees are assigned to players, the mixed-tee adjustments for medal and/or stableford scoring are added to Playing Handicaps. The adjustment to the Playing Handicaps for a team is the average of the individual adjustments. For a mixed-tee scratch format, enter Handicap Index of 0 for all players to get their mixed-tee adjusted Playing Handicaps.

Excellent golf app
This is a very neat, easy to use app, especially good for competitions which use more than one tee, including mixed comps for ladies and men. The app works for lots of different golf formats like 4BBB, scrambles etc. It’s also simple to use outside the UK, any course can be added and saved quickly.

Love this app - it is a time saver
This is much easier to use than the Congu spreadsheet and the app provides accurate calculations needed for any match. For example a greensomes match against another team at any club. Just select the course and tees and enter handicap indexes and the app gives you the strokes in the match. You can also share easily the handicap calculations with the other team so all is agreed before the match. You can save the ratings of any course on the app too

Great app 👍
Really easy to use! The app provides all handicap calculations for any format of play. It’s brilliant and quick to use on the tee in a friendly game or formal competition. All relevant mixed tee adjustments are automatically added so there are no arguments about handicaps!
