Handicap

Members are expected to maintain a handicap and to post scores from rounds played at any courses with USGA ratings. 

Our chapter has a GHIN eClub, “LPGA AMATEURS GOLF ASSOC - LI” GHIN CLUB, which is already being used by many of our members. 

To JOIN or RENEW Your GHIN Handicap through the LPGA Amateurs Long Island eClub, click the link below.  

GHIN RENEWAL LINK:  GHIN JOIN/RENEW LINK - LPGA Amateurs Long Island

Make sure to CHECK "ENABLE AUTO-RENEW" on the payment screen so that your GHIN will automatically be renewed each year-end.  


GHIN system is part of the new standard World Handicap System (WHS.)  The system updates daily, so posting scores on the day of play is expected.

Extensive information about the WHS is available at Topics (usga.org)

Please contact our Handicap Chairperson, Patrice Franco, with any questions.  handicap@lpgaamateurslongisland.com

The following slideshow provides basic instruction for using the WHS to post scores properly.
