The CDGA has partnered with Leaderboard, a free GPS and scoring platform, to give members a richer on-course and off-course app experience. Available on iOS, Android, and Apple Watch, Leaderboard lets CDGA members link their Handicap Index® and post scores while unlocking GPS for 40,000+ courses, live tournaments and skins pots for groups of up to 100, on-course side games like Nassau, Wolf, Skins, and Stableford, auto-press tracking, and a social feed to follow friends' rounds. Here's how to get started.
