HANDICAPS

Each member will be assigned a GHIN/WHS number for their AGA handicap. This is the number that will be used by the member to access his AGA handicap account where he will post scores. We ask that you post all scores for all rounds that you play during the year. You must post a minimum of 5 scores to establish a handicap for Phoenix Golfers Association (PhxGA) tournament play and flight seeding.

Your PhxGA tournament score will automatically be posted for you with the AGA by Gene after the tournament. For all other rounds that you play throughout the year, you may enter the score at the course where you played, or you may enter them on-line through our website link to the AGA.

Once you have five scores registered you will receive an official AGA Handicap Index. This index is used in conjunction with the Course Rating and Slope Rating at the course we are playing to determine your course Handicap for that day. The AGA will update your Handicap Index on the day after any score is entered. They will email an updated handicap index once per month. Please post all rounds of golf that you play.
