A: PPMGC allows our members to post scores via the Internet. Scores can be posted directly to the
Internet by clicking on the Post On-Line icon or visiting
www.GHIN.com. The scores will immediately become part of the golfer's
scoring record and be included in the golfer's USGA Handicap Index
by the next revision.
A: Yes. Visit
www.GHIN.com
to view the following information about your active GHIN account: the 20 scores that were used
to compute your USGA Handicap Index, your USGA Handicap Index, and your
20 most recent scores. Only the scores posted via the Internet and
scores that have been transmitted (sent) from clubs to the GHIN
server will be listed.

A: The "R" signifies that a "reduction" has been placed on your Handicap
Index. The USGA has a section in its Handicap System that automatically
reduces the Handicap Indexes of players who consistently score better
in competitions than in informal play. To be used, the procedure
requires that a player have two or more eligible tournament scores
and a minimum of two tournament score differentials which are at
least three strokes better than the player's current USGA Handicap
Index.
What most players don't realize is that an eligible tournament
score under
Section
10-3 of the USGA Handicap System Manual is a tournament score
made within the current year or a tournament score contained within
the player's last
twenty scores.
All tournament scores posted will stay on a scoring record
for a year from the date that they were shot. A tournament score
may stay on a record longer if in a year it is still a part of the
most recent twenty scores. The Handicap
Committee at the golfer's club, not the Minnesota Golf
Association, may decide to override a reduction in certain cases.
A. If you know that you will be moving or if your correct address
does not appear on your handicap sticker, please contact your club
where your handicap membership is held. They will be able to change
your address. Once they transmit that information, your record
will automatically be updated on GHIN. You can also change your address
by contacting the MGA at (952) 927-4643 ext 901 or email us at
info@mngolf.org.
A. To correct or delete incorrect scores in your record, contact
the handicap chairperson at your club. He/she can make the corrections
(this also applies to scores posted via the Internet). After your
club has made the correction, it must transmit (send) it to the
GHIN server. Once this has been done, your handicap score history
will be corrected. The scoring record which appears
online at www.ghin.com will not be updated until
the
next Handicap Revision. However, if you click on "View 20 Most
Recent Scores"
on
www.ghin.com, the change will
be reflected immediately.
A. You will need five 18 hole scores or ten combined 9 hole scores
to establish an 18 hole USGA Handicap Index or five 9 hole scores to establish
a USGA Handicap Index (N) (a 9 hole Handicap Index).
