The Omaha Chapter has a membership in the the Nebraska Golf Association (NGA) that will allow Omaha Chapter members to obtain and maintain a Golf Handicap Information Network (GHIN) handicap through the NGA. A GHIN handicap is not mandatory, but if you plan to compete, you must have an established GHIN handicap. Maintaining a handicap is also a great way to track your game to see if you're improving. 

Registration FAQs:

1. How do we register for the new handicap system?  First, renew your LPGAA membership.  Then, click here: Register Here!
2. How much will it cost? $26 for the 2025 season
3. Will a renewal automatically bring our prior handicaps over? Yes, providing you utilize the same ID that was used previously.  Please take note of the ID number for when you register.
4. Why do we have to pay now when we didn't before 2024? Prior to 2024, a handicap was included as part of our memberships. Due to a change in the rules, handicaps can now only be issued at the state level. 
5. Who will manage the handicap system if we have questions or need a revision? We have a Handicap Chairperson, Terri Zimmerle at handicaplpgaamateursomaha@gmail.com If you make a mistake, we can help fix it (it happens more than you think!)
