If you want the handicap to be recognized for competition then it must be maintained by a USGA approved entity.

If that doesn't matter to you, then I wouldn't pay any money for it when there are several free sites that will give you an unofficial handicap.

I know we've gone over this, but until I joined a forum - I had never met a serious golfer who didn't have an official handicap. I still don't understand why people don't get official handicaps. IMO - an unofficial handicap is meaningless.

Hawk - If you can get an official handicap - get one. It's only $40 and then if you want to play in an event - you can.
