Handicap

Starting January 1, 2023

The LPGA Amateurs will no longer be offering the handicap service, we wanted to update everyone on how we will be handling handicaps moving forward. We have created a club through the Nebraska Golf Association. This allows our chapter to offer handicaps directly to the members in our chapter. Handicap services run on a calendar year, so starting in January, we will have the option for you to sign up to manage your handicap through our chapter. If you already have a handicap, you will keep the same ID number and your current scores and handicap will transfer over.

Questions you may have:

How do we register for the new handicap system?
Must have renewed your LPGAA membership first.

How much will it cost?
1. $24 for the 2023 season
Questions you may have:

Will it automatically bring our old handicaps over?
Yes, providing you utilize the same ID that was used previously.
Please take note of the ID number for when you sign up in January.
Why do we have to pay now when we didn't in the past?
In the past, it was included as part of our memberships. Due to a change in the rules, handicaps can now only be issued at the state level.
Who will manage the handicap system if we have questions or need a revision?
We have a Handicap Chair Person.
BONUS: Another benefit is for tournaments and leagues- we can bring your handicap over automatically.
Also, if you make a mistake- we can help fix it (it happens more than you think! that is worth $24)
