New Member Handicapping

New member handicaps are established in two ways: providing a current, official GHIN/USGA handicap card or self-identifying their average scoring ability.

We use these to establish their initial provisional handicaps for CTGA tournaments. Refer to Rule #6 of our CTGA By-Laws for a complete explanation.

Past members who rejoin CTGA must establish new handicaps using either of the above methods.

Note: If a new or returning member has a current, established USGA/GHIN handicap, this handicap takes precedence and must be submitted to establish a CTGA provisional handicap.

CTGA uses the honor system to allow new members and guests to provide us with scores for provisional handicapping purposes.
