The GHIN Handicap Program Software
All GHIN clubs are provided several valuable software programs and services as part of the GHIN service. GHIN revises its Handicap Program software on an on-going basis with new and improved added features.

The GHIN software poses no additional cost to the clubs or association. As new software features become available, they will be distributed to the clubs as a service by the Florida State Golf Association.

Some of the advantages of the GHIN Handicap Program software are:

  • Interactive membership score posting with contemporary graphics and a friendly navigation style accommodating touch screen technology.
  • Twelve-month score and Handicap Index archives.
  • Enhanced peer review via member lookup and score ticker features.
  • Automatic electronic transmissions that are totally transparent to golfers.
  • Report library supporting "Paperless" environments and a powerful report designer, which is flexible enough to design almost any report. Clubs can print their own reports, handicap listings, local number list, addresses, Handicap labels for membership cards, etc.
  • All score corrections, new member adds, name changes, addresses, etc., are reflected immediately.
  • The GHIN Handicap Program software provides for scores to be electronically routed from any club within the GHIN network. Away scores are re-routed to the players' home clubs.
  • Clubs have access to the USGA Handicap Indexes of all other two million golfers on GHIN across the country. Clubs may inquire about the USGA Handicap Index of any visiting golfer on GHIN.
  • Each golfer can see the immediate impact that each new score may have on the individual's Handicap Index at the next revision via the Trend.
  • You may provide news releases (up to 20 lines of 78 characters per line) to your clubs using GHIN Handicap Program software by submitting the information to GHIN
  • Reports may be created and printed locally, as well as sorted many different ways: by golfer's name, GHIN number, local number, Handicap Index, print group, or a combination of all of the above.

The GHIN Handicap Program software effectively manages score posting, Handicap Index calculations and exceptional tournament score reduction (Section 10-3 of the USGA Handicap System). It also allows access to all course ratings and slope ratings contained in the association-wide database. The easy-to-use interface performs golfer Handicap Index and score inquiries, networks all golf club members on the GHIN service and much more.
