I am confused about how to establish a GHIN handicap. For a USGA member to access my Handicap info I have to have a GHIN number. A friend wanted to looked my handicap up through the USGA but couldn't find me because I don't have GHIN.

How do I establish a GHIN?

GHIN or golf handicap and information network. Is another USGA handicapping service just like ushandicap.com. If you want a GHIN number go to ghin.com become a member and start posting your scores. GHIN is a more widely used service and I myself will actually be switching over to them as well next year for that reason. Hope this helps man.

The easiest way to get a GHIN handicap is through your local golf course. It's usually around $30.

As for looking up your handicap, have your friend go to ushandicap.com and look up your handicap id number - 10186868 it works just the same as the USGA/GHIN and if you adhere to the rules, it's just as valid.
