News Update for Posting Scores in GHIN:
The 2024 golf season brought us a few changes in posting our scores to our USGA GHIN Handicap account. Here is a recap of those changes to get the new 2025 season off to a good start.
- World Handicap System will include a new minimum length of a golf course to be eligible for a Course and Slope Rating. New limits are 1500 yards for an 18-hole golf course, 750 yards for a 9-hole golf course. Executive Par 3 courses such as Pheasant Run, Tower Tee, Family Golf Center have been rated with a course and slope rating, and are part of the USGA GHIN database. You can now use your Handicap Index at these courses and post your scores under your GHIN account.
- Rule 5.1b changed to allow immediate posting of a completed 9-hole round under your GHIN account. There is no longer a wait for another 9-holes to be played, posted for an 18-hole round. Your scoring record will display the following:
- · The 9-hole adjusted gross score.
- · The 9-hole Course Rating and Slope Rating.
- · The 18-hole Score Differential equivalent.
- · A score type of (N).
