HOME HANDICAP CERTIFICATION

Handicap Certification
Is Your Club USGA Handicap Certified?

The USGA requires that all clubs be handicap certified in order to issue handicaps. All MSGA member clubs must attend a seminar and complete a club compliance checklist to be USGA handicap certified.

Official USGA Handicap Indexes are required to be eligible for USGA or MSGA competitions. Clubs become certified by attending a Maryland Handicap Program Certification Seminar or USGA Handicap Certification Seminar and making a passing grade on the handicap quiz. In addition, clubs must complete and return the club compliance checklist which shows that they fully abide by the USGA Handicap System.

Both must be done in order for the club to be in full compliance and be certified to issue USGA handicaps.
