NCGA Handicap Chairs
"Congratulations and/or condolences on your appointment as Handicap Chair . . . one of the most important, yet least appreciated officials within any club.
The NCGA has amassed all sorts of resources for your use and stands ready to assist you in all your handicapping pursuits.
The Rules of Handicapping is a must for every Handicap Chair and you'll want to bookmark both the NCGA Handicapping Resource Page as well as the USGA resource page. Lastly, check out our helpful World Handicap System (WHS) page.
It is important to understand that the WHS carries a mandatory educational requirement. That is, each club must have a representative, ideally you, complete approved online education (and pass a quiz) before your club can issue "official" handicaps.
Good luck with your handicapping activities!"
Jim Cowan - Director of Handicapping
