Forget the details, how do I get a handicap index so that I can play in those awesome FHGC tournaments?

If you already have a GHIN number when you join the First Hill Golf Club, you are all set. Just make sure the Handicap Chairman gets your GHIN number and your current handicap index will continue as is. If you belong to more than one golf club that participates in the GHIN program, you might be eligible for a rebate from the WSGA.

If you don't have a GHIN number when you join the First Hill Golf Club, send the Handicap Chairman an email with as many leisure time golf scores as possible, but you need at least 5 of your most recent scores. For each score show the date played, gross score, course rating and slope rating of the course played. The more scores you provide the more accurate your handicap index will be.

The Handicap Chairman will send you an email letting you know your new GHIN number. Use this GHIN number to post all your scores going forward.

The maximum USGA handicap index is 36.4.
