Handicap Reminders All Members are expected to post their score following their round of golf. This can be done at the handicap computer in the golf shops or online at www.ghin.com. New for 2019 To make sure that all members are posting scores accurately and up to date, golfers who are playing in the Golf Association Events will be subject to the 80% Rule. Essentially you must post at least 80% of the number of rounds that we have you checked in for. If your GHIN scores do not meet this requirement, then your Handicap for an event will be subject to adjustments by the Golf Association Committee. Active Season for Posting Scores in Ohio: March 15 th to November 30 th Speak with the golf shop staff at your home course about activating your GHIN Handicap. If you are an Unlimited Member, the GHIN Handicap Fee is included in your membership. If you are a Limited Member, you will need to pay $45 for the GHIN Handicap Fee for the season. Tournament Scores will be posted by the member (Tournament Director will let you know which events will be eligible for Scores to post). Not all Golf Association Events will have scores eligible to post as a Tournament Score. This year the Tournament Director, Golf Staff and Handicap Committee will be randomly reviewing daily score posting. We will compare the tee sheet with scores posted for that day. If you have any questions or concerns regarding handicaps, please email Ryan Jacocks, Ryan@NewEraGolf.com Equitable Stroke Control (ESC) ESC was put in place by the USGA to limit the Highest Score a player may post for any hole. It varies by handicap. The following chart outlines the MAXIMUM POSTABLE SCORE for any hole for each handicap range. Your Current Handicap Max Score On Any Hole 9 or less 10 19 20 29 30 39 40 or more Double Bogey 7 8 9 10 4
