Establishing a Handicap
- Join the Southern California Golf
Association (SCGA) through a golf club by paying $36 for a 1-year membership (Jan. 1 thru Dec. 31)
- Play a minimum of 5 rounds of 18 holes
(or 10 rounds of 9 holes)
- Post those rounds to establish an Index
What is an Index?

- Index is calculated by the USGA Golf
Handicap and Information Network (GHIN) and is an average of ten games of your last 20 games posted
- Your index is updated twice a month
by SCGA/GHIN and emailed to you

Handicap
–Varies from course to course and also from which tees you are playing
- Go to GHIN.com Course Handicap
