Before you can begin, make sure to find a recognized golf association or club to join such as our organization: LPGA Amateurs of Northern Nevada. A golf association or club is an essential step in getting a golf handicap.

and click the link on our website.

Step 2: Join a Recognized Gold Association or Club

Once you’ve joined a recognized golf association or club, all you need to do is submit your golf scores and the system automatically established your handicap index.

•Submit Your Golf Scores:

Start by submitting your scores from the rounds you’ve played. These scores can be made up of any combination of 9-hole or 18-hole rounds. It’s best to record your scores on the day of your round. It’s imperative that you record ALL of your scores, good and bad to establish an accurate handicap.

•Establishing Your Handicap:

Once you have played at least 54 holes, the “USGA GHIN” handicap system will determine your handicap by applying a formula.

Where do I Post or Submit Scores:

Handicap cost and renewals:

The cost to establish your handicap is $37.00 per year through LPGA. Once you have signed up to establish a handicap, you will be given a GHIN number. This number will never change. Handicaps need to be renewed by March 31st of each year.
