How You Get It:

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

STEP 2 - Post three 18-hole scores (or six 9-hole scores) at ghin.com (or use the GHIN mobile app) using your assigned GHIN number.

STEP 3 - Your Handicap Index will be established within 24 hours of posting your rounds!

Why GHIN?

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

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



GHIN Mobile Included Free!

Post scores, establish your Handicap, track your stats and get detailed GPS course maps.
