USGA Licensing
Compliant golf clubs on USHandicap Classic are licensed directly by the USGA and appear on
http://www.usga.org in their authorized club database. Each compliant club on this site will link to it's official listing on
http://www.usga.org
If you have a Handicap Index on this site, then your handicap is licensed and recognized with the USGA.
GHIN
USHandicap Classic does not participate in the GHIN computation service. GHIN is a different handicap system used by some regional golf associations. USHandicap Classic clubs are licensed directly by the USGA and use the
GolfNet handicap network. GolfNet and GHIN are not the same handicap service, but both are USGA compliant. The Handicap Index you receive on USHandicap Classic will not be found on the GHIN Network.
Golf Tournaments
Tournaments often ask for a GHIN number because the GHIN system enables golfers, who are members of a regional association, lookup each other's handicap, or enter scores from a course computer.
Tournaments or other relevant bodies can verify an official club status on
http://www.usga.org and can use the USHandicap Classic
Handicap Lookup to confirm a member's index.
If the tournament has any further questions, they are welcome to
contact us directly.
