As part of the GHIN handicap network, SCGA members will now have an opportunity to locally post scores at more than 10,000 courses across the country and have the scores routed to their home club. In addition, if a club allows it, SCGA members can post their scores online through scga.org.

Online Handicap Index Verification & eRevision
SCGA members can verify their Handicap Index through scga.org. Members see their revision file, the 20 most recent rounds posted, their current index for the past 14 revisions and can convert their current index to a Course Handicap with the push of a button.
