HANDICAP REQUIREMENT
NEW in 2012, each participant 10 years old and older will need a current GHIN Handicap Index through the GHIN Handicap Program offered by the USGA . There are two ways to sign up for the GHIN Handicap Services, with the first and your best option being through your home course or club and the second is through the e-club link on the MGA website, https://www.mogolf.org/. Our preference is for you to sign up through your home course, however if that is not available to you or your home course does not offer the GHIN Program, the e-club is your best option. If you should have any questions or need assistance please feel free to contact me at the MGA office.
