I signed up through FSGA and just enter the scores myself. Works well. Check your state association.

I really want to get an official handicap before our annual golf outing in August and am kind of confused about the process. I went to the USGA site and found the Get an Official handicap and found a couple of "online clubs" in Kansas. After I register for one of the clubs, Is it as simple as paying the $25 and posting my scores or is there something else I need to do? I called the club I now belong to and it was $40 and even they were confused as to how I should go about doing it, at least the guy that answered the phone was.

I do mine through an online club. Just post your scores online and you'll get a handicap next revision.

Is that "official though"

I have used Oooob like others but I don't think that is official, just a guideline.

Didn't I read THP was gonna do this or was I dreaming?

Still the plan, but until we can have it function and be cost effective, it wont be launched.

Most golf clubs offer an "official" USGA handicap system if you sign up (for some, it's included in membership). Just an FYI, though: Oob does offer accurate handicaps, using the same system as the USGA, but it just isn't USGA-sanctioned

that was my thought. That was why I asked about the online club Marc was part of and if that was "official" via USGA

Yeah, I was waiting, but like JB said, it's not ready yet and I have been wanting to get started for a while now.

I called my club and they said $40, which is $15 more than the online club through the GHIN service. I tried OOB, but their app is horrible and crashes on me all the time, not official and I think JB said that it's not that accurate (always better than you actually are)

I have used it for over 2 years and I never had a problem with it. Weird you have so much trouble.

I know Marc posts his through the Southern Nevada Golf Association and it's official. Ole Gray and I both joined through our club and post our own scores through GHIN.com which is also official. I'm thinking you have to sign up through a local course but I'm not positive.

That is how I understand it as well.

You dont have to. There are online clubs that can and do offer official USGA indexes.

Oh? do you know any of them? Are they the same cost as a "normal club" ?

[2puO4Rhf]

There are quite a few including some local to people. I even think Golf Galaxy has one.

[euylvaygdq]

Mine is done through my home course....used to be free with my membership, but this year they started charging $25 for handicap service....I paid it because I wanted to have an official handicap....but I figured when THP got theirs up and going I would switch it to here.

FWIW, the OOB app always crashed on my phone too.

[Intockatt]

I don't know why the oob app doesn't seem to work, but it just hangs and crashes twice a round and I ended up giving up on it after 3 rounds.

Yeah, Golf Galaxy and Golfsmith both have ones. I just registered through Kansas City Golf Association and posted some scores already.

[Âåðåùàãèí]

I have never had an official handicap and I would like to start keeping track now that I am able to play consistently. Eventually I'd like to start playing some tourneys and such next year and will need that in order to compete. I seem to remember something about being able to do it here. Did anything ever come of that?

So where do I begin? Is there a cost involved?

[CFstantony]

Local courses and clubs may offer handicap services, but I got mine through www.golfgalaxynetwork.com I found a local club through that website and it only cost $30 for the year.

[Intockatt]

You can get a handicap through your local club or you can sign up online through GHIN and find a "eclub". That is what I did and it cost $30.
