General

“Sandridge Golf Club switched from Golfnet in August of 2008 to the GHIN Handicap System and couldn't be happier with the product and service from the Florida State Golf Association.  The Tournament Pairing Program is superior to that of Golfnet and offers so many more features, reports, and customization tools."

Bela Nagy, PGA
Sandridge Golf Club

“As soon as I contacted the Florida State Golf Association, I was amazed with their professionalism and committment to making the transistion to the GHIN system as smooth as possible.  Not only was the switch the right decision, but my members could not be happier."

Terry O'Hara, PGA
The Longboat Key Club & Resort

“We recently switched to GHIN from Golfnet.  Change is always hard and learning a new software system can be challenging, but the FSGA staff has been there every step of the way for us to learn the new system.  The customer service is outstanding and our members are very happy with our switch to the GHIN system."

Terry Decker, PGA 
St. Petersburg Country Club

“My experience with the FSGA has been nothing less than extraordinary!  The member service has been superb; whether it is assisting with a complex tournament set-up, assisting with individual handicap conversions or rules questions, they are on top of their game."

Bud Taylor, PGA 
Old Palm Golf Club

“Switching to the GHIN system brings added credibility to The Club at Olde Cypress.  The immediate benefits for the members include electronically routed scores from any club in the GHIN network, on-line score posting and access to Interclub Team Matches.  The Professional Staff benefits from the Tournament Pairings Program and certainly the helpful team of FSGA Professionals."
