“Sandridge Golf Club switched from Golfnet to the GHIN Handicap System and couldn't be happier with the product and service from the Florida State Golf Association.

Bela Nagy, PGA

“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."
