Posting Scores When Traveling to Sunbelt States During the Off-Season

Although local scores are not valid to your official handicap after December 1, you are under obligation per the USGA Handicap System, the OGA and your club to post rounds played in year-round golf associations if you travel throughout the winter.  This is crucial to maintaining accurate handicaps and promoting fair play. To do our part, we will provide off-season updates to your Handicap Indexes on January 1 and February 1 (and also on the 15th of each month beginning in 2012). 

Many associations are members of the IGN (INTERNATIONAL GOLF NETWORK) which makes it easy to post where you play.

Look for “Guest Score Posting”, when posting at an away course computer.  If playing in Southern Nevada or Arizona which are not GHIN Associations, look for “IGN” and “Oregon Golf Association” when posting scores.  Your scores will then be sent via IGN to GHIN. 

If you are unable to post at your winter site, you may either bring your scorecards home for posting, or if your club allows Internet Score Posting,  register  and create a User Account on www.OGA.org to easily post your scores or you can post scores on GHIN.com.

PLEASE HELP THE OGA, YOUR CLUB, AND YOUR HANDICAP CHAIR KEEP HANDICAPS ACCURATE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR BY POSTING ALL LEGAL ROUNDS, NO MATTER WHERE YOU PLAY, AND ENCOURAGE YOUR PLAYING PARTNERS TO DO THE SAME!
 
Thanks for your cooperation, and have a great winter!

The Golf Season in Oregon & SW Washington on March 1st
