After we have received all of this information, we go to work with the USGA creating a profile for each of your members. During this process, we will send you the necessary software, which will include the GHIN Handicap System, the Tournament Paring Program and the Rules of Golf software.  We will also send you plastic Handicap Cards for all your members, as well as several publications including the latest editions of  The Rules of Golf, USGA Handicap System Manual, USGA How to Use your Handicap booklet.

Within a short period, you are up and ready to go.  Scores must be transmited at least once a month. After that, on the first of each month you can print your Handicap Index sticker from within the GHIN Management Program, or your can view your handicap on line.

Definition of a Golf Club

Section 2 of the USGA Handicap System
defines a golf club as follows:

A "golf club" is an organization of at least ten individual members that operates under bylaws with committees (including a Handicap Committee) to supervise golf activities, provide peer review, and maintain the integrity of the USGA Handicap System (see Compliance Checklist, Section 8-2m; Decision 2/7). A golf club must be licensed by the USGA® to utilize the USGA Handicap System. A club can obtain a license agreement directly from the USGA or through its membership in an authorized golf association that is already licensed by the USGA and that has jurisdiction in the geographic area that includes the principal location of the golf club.
