As more and more tournament sponsors are requiring a USGA GHIN (U.S. Golf Association 
Golf Handicap and Information Network) handicap for entrants, this service solves all 
handicap needs.  We are happy to provide this service to our members at a minimal charge 
per year.

For those not familiar with the GHIN system, here's how it works:

	Send us your scores for all non-CGA play.  You may use our posting 
	sheets (see below) or any paper as long as you list the date you play, 
        the course name, rating, slope, and adjusted score.  See the chart
        below for score adjustments. 
        County Golf Association is also set up for you to post all non-CGA
        play on the GHIN website which is www.ghin.com. Click Post On-Line
        and enter your GHIN number.  You will then be able to enter your 
        scores.

All scores, including your CGA individual stroke scores, are posted in our office.  
We are on-line direct with the USGA GHIN system.  Any scores you submit by the deadline 
will be on the next handicap card and will update your handicap index.  You will receive 
a GHIN handicap card monthly from CGA.  

The annual fee is $20 and is good Jan. 01 - Dec. 31.  

GHIN is the lone nationally recognized handicap service.  If you plan to enter a 
non-CGA tournament, or play as a guest at a course, they may not recognize your CGA 
handicap. This service is completely optional. 

The following is the list of monthly deadlines for transmitting scores to the GHIN system.  
You must have your scores in to our office before 5:00 P.M. on these dates in order for 
your scores to show on your next GHIN handicap card.  We will submit CGA individual stroke scores for you.  Your handicap card will be sent to you in the following CGA newsletter.  

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the GHIN, please call the CGA office.
