I don't really play in tournaments, why do I need an official USGA Handicap?
The broad appeal of golf is the unique and equitable handicapping system. The purpose of the USGA Handicap System is to make the game more enjoyable for golfers of all abilities. So whether you participate in tournaments or not, an official USGA handicap will allow you to see the improvements in your ability or compete more equitably with your playing partners.
Once you've joined a golf club and posted five adjusted gross scores you will be issued a USGA handicap once a revision date passes. To view a directory of courses offering handicap indexes just select the Club Directory link below and search for a public facility in your area.
