England Golf has announced a series of updates to the MyEG app designed to make the platform more intuitive, social and useful for club members and iGolf users across the country and beyond.
The refreshed home screen now highlights the golfers you connect with, showcasing their recent scores and activity to create a more engaging, community-focused experience. A redesigned menu also provides clearer navigation to key tools and features.
One of the most notable additions is the new Course Handicap Calculator, allowing golfers to work out Course Handicaps for themselves and their playing partners instantly.
Within the updated Golfers tab, users can now create groups, making it easier to organise regular playing partners, manage friends, and stay connected through the app.
Richard Flint, England Golf’s chief operating officer, said: “After analysis of the data and feedback, the new app changes are aimed at making the all-round MyEG app user experience much more friendly and engaging.
“We know how people often get to the first tee and need to know handicaps, and the new Course Handicap Calculator feature makes that quick and easy. Meanwhile, the introduction of Groups will allow app users to manage friends on the app, create groups that they play with, and engage with one another through it.”

The home screen also provides quicker access to key areas of the app, while Scores now sits as its own dedicated menu item – allowing users to view their scoring graph, browse previous scores, and create a scorecard.
MyEG app users have long been able to submit general play scores from rounds played in Scotland, Wales and Ireland, and this list has now been expanded to include New Zealand, The Philippines, and South Africa.
“It’s great news for golfers that they can now enter general play scores in other countries, and work is ongoing with the relevant organisations to add more countries to the list in the not-too-distant future,” added Richard.
Additional improvements include new tooltips across the mobile app and web platform, including a Score Legend and clearer explanations of the Handicap Index calculation.
What was previously the Dashboard now appears under Scores, while the Friends section has moved under Golfers with no impact on existing friend lists.
Users whose MyEG app is not set to auto-update will need to manually update to access the new features. For support on the MyEG app click here, and for more information click here.
