How do I post scores at a golf course other than my home course?
You would choose the Guest/IGN Score Posting Option, enter your GHIN number, select Post Score and then enter your round information to have your posted score transmitted to GHIN and then routed back to your club.
Can I post my score at a club that doesn't use GHIN as its handicap computational service?
Yes, you would choose the Guest Score Posting Option, choose Washington Golf from the list of participating golf associations and then enter your score information which will be routed back to your home club. Your score will be transmitted to GHIN through a service called the International Golf Network (IGN). WA Golf pays a yearly fee to the IGN so that our members can use this service when needed.
How many holes do I need to play to post an 18-hole score?
That an 18-hole score needs to be posted if you play 13 or more holes. If you play 7 to 12 holes you need to post a nine-hole score. Any hole not played should be recorded as par plus any handicap strokes you are entitled to for that hole. This score should be preceded by an “X”.
Do I have to use Equitable Stroke Control (ESC)?
For handicap purposes, all scores including tournament scores are subject to the use of ESC. This required procedure reduces high hole scores in order to make handicaps more representative of a player’s “potential” ability. There should be an ESC chart by all of WA Golf Handicap System computers.
I posted my scores incorrectly. How can I fix it?
