The Rules of Golf are determined and administered by two bodies, (i) The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews (R&A) who govern all territories except for the USA and Mexico and (ii) the United States Golf Association (USGA).
The USGA GHIN App allows you to post your scores and create then maintain a handicap. It also helps with tracking of stats and providing course maps with GPS.
A slice happens when there is side spin on the golf ball which causes the ball to curve to the right for a right-handed player and to the left for a left-handed golfer. Sidespin to the right is caused by an open clubface (pointed right) relative to the path the club head is travelling on impact.
