I really want to get an official handicap before our annual golf outing in August and am kind of confused about the process. I went to the USGA site and found the Get an Official handicap and found a couple of "online clubs" in Kansas. After I register for one of the clubs, Is it as simple as paying the $25 and posting my scores or is there something else I need to do? I called the club I now belong to and it was $40 and even they were confused as to how I should go about doing it, at least the guy that answered the phone was.

Most golf clubs offer an "official" USGA handicap system if you sign up (for some, it's included in membership). Just an FYI, though: Oob does offer accurate handicaps, using the same system as the USGA, but it just isn't USGA-sanctioned |

Didn't I read THP was gonna do this or was I dreaming? Most golf clubs offer an "official" USGA handicap system if you sign up (for some, it's included in membership). Just an FYI, though: Oob does offer accurate handicaps, using the same system as the USGA, but it just isn't USGA-sanctioned |

Yeah, I was waiting, but like JB said, it's not ready yet and I have been wanting to get started for a while now. |

I know Marc posts his through the Southern Nevada Golf Association and it's official. Ole Gray and I both joined through our club and post our own scores through GHIN.com which is also official. I'm thinking you have to sign up through a local course but I'm not positive. |

Mine is done through my home course....used to be free with my membership, but this year they started charging $25 for handicap service....I paid it because I wanted to have an official handicap....but I figured when THP got theirs up and going I would switch it to here.
FWIW, the OOB app always crashed on my phone too. |

I have never had an official handicap and I would like to start keeping track now that I am able to play consistently. Eventually I'd like to start playing some tourneys and such next year and will need that in order to compete. I seem to remember something about being able to do it here. Did anything ever come of that?
So where do I begin? Is there a cost involved? |

Local courses and clubs may offer handicap services, but I got mine through www.golfgalaxynetwork.com I found a local club through that website and it only cost $30 for the year.
