  17. Handicaps continued • All members have a USGA Handicap number • Scores can be entered at the course computer or by visiting www.vsga.org and entering you name and GHIN number • We will publish the entire Society handicap list before our first event of 2016 • Mobile app • The handicap season in Virginia is 12 months

  18. Handicaps continued • Players are responsible for entering their own scores • Enter an adjusted score for ALL rounds played (Including matchplay) • Failure to enter scores may results in reduction of handicap by the committee • Failure to maintain an accurate handicap is unfair to the player and the entire Society • No one can enter matchplay/strokeplay without valid, demonstrable handicap • Really, really need to be more proactive this year…post, post, post
