GET BETTER - Track your progress!

STEP 1 - Join the SCGA and get a GHIN number (you use this number to post scores from your rounds).

Lots of services offer a handicap, but only GHIN Number / Handicap ID is universally trusted by Southern California golfers for competitive purposes.

COMPETE - Access any tournament that requires a Handicap Index.

LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD - Win competitions regardless of your skill level.

STEP 2 - Post three 18-hole scores (or six 9-hole scores) using the official USGA GHIN mobile app and your assigned GHIN number.

That's because a GHIN Number / Handicap ID requires membership in an association-certified golf club that guarantees oversight of indexes by fellow club members and a certified Handicap Chairman. This ensures golfers play and compete with a Handicap Index that accurately reflects his or her ability.

FIND GOLFING BUDDIES - Join a local SCGA golf club to play with others at your ability level.

CHARITY TOURNAMENTS - Play and compete for prizes.

STEP 3 - Within 24 hours your handicap will be calculated and updated in your app.  Now go out and play!

WIN MONEY - Beat your friends and drive home with cash in your pocket.
