How do I use my GHIN Number?

GHIN – Golf Handicap and Information Network, pronounced “jin” – is a handicapping computational service provided by the USGA through authorized associations and clubs, like us.

Your unique GHIN number gives you the ability to post scores from which your Handicap Index is calculated. Having a handicap will allow you to track your progress, as well as make you eligible for certain golf tournaments and events.

Once you have your GHIN number you can start posting your scores either online, or with the USGA GHIN app on your mobile device. The app lets you post your scores, calculate course handicap, view score history, and more.

A minimum of three 18-hole or six 9-hole scores posted are all that’s needed to calculate and establish your Handicap Index! The more often you post your score, the more accurate your handicap.
