Hello acaldarazzo, As part of the new World Handicap system for 2020, all paid USHandicap members will continue to be USGA Valid. Basically we have to pay a fee to the USGA, and all of our members will also be issued GHIN numbers. You will still belong to our USGA licensed club, and post your scores here. But it will be easier for local club pros to look up your index, because every valid handicap in the world will be in 1 system. We are in the process of this migration now. Should be completed in the next month or two. Thank you for your patience as we wait for the USGA to process our clubs.

I want to cancel membership since I called wsga and they want wsga approved mens clubs which isnt from us handicap. I would like to cancel but no one is answering the phone or email.
