USGA Handicap System Licensing & Certification 2008-2011

In order to comply with the USGA Handicap System, golf clubs must complete 2 main requirements outlined in the USGA Compliance Checklist between 2008 and 2011:

1. Handicap Seminar Requirement: One of the main requirements is that each golf club must send a representative to a USGA Handicap Seminar, or complete an online handicap seminar, and pass a test exhibiting his/her knowledge about the system.

2. Compliance Confirmation Form: Another main requirement is that each golf club must have a representative sign a Compliance Confirmation form acknowledging full compliance with the USGA Handicap System. If you are a handicap chairperson or club administrator, please fill out the Compliance Form for your club: MGA Member Clubs, MGA Affiliate Clubs (Without Real Estate).
