Any posting of scores beginning in 2020 should be done using the rules of the World Handicap System. There is no need to wait until you can attend official training provided by the Chapter to learn more about the system. NCGA has some easy to understand video clips that can provide you the basics so that you can correctly post your scores. These can be found on the NCGA website, Toggle over Handicap tab, scroll down to World Handicap System and hit ENTER. Scroll down to the bottom of the page. There are 2-3 minute videos explaining this new system. Here's a sample of one of them regarding maximum scores for posting purposes.

Volunteer
Volunteer to be part of our CHAPTER COMMUNICATIONS GROUP
It'll take up very little of your time each month, plus you'll have the opportunity to engage with members you might not otherwise - and might even find some new golfing partners! Most importantly, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing you made an important contribution to the continuing success of the Sacramento Chapter of LPGA Amateurs Golf Association.
Here are the answers to some questions you may have:
WHEN? Chapter Communications volunteers will be asked to contact at most 10-15 chapter members each month to remind them when their membership is up for renewal, and periodically invite and encourage their participation in a specific event - for example, the Annual Kickoff Brunch or a sponsor's social event.
WHERE? Calls and emails can be made from the comfort of your home - or anywhere else that works for you.
WHY? We want to ensure that EVERY member benefits from all the events, special activities and FUN we have to offer. While our chapter's growth and retention rates were among the highest nationally last year - and our annual surveys have shown a high degree of member satisfaction - we are committed to doing even better this year. We particularly want to reach out to new members so that they feel welcome, understand the various events and have an opportunity to ask questions.
So, what are you waiting for? Email Sheryl Sookman, Membership Director, at Membership@LPGAAmateursSacramento.com and let her know that you'd like to join the Chapter Communications Group!
