An essential part of the USGA® Handicap System™ is that all golfers have their Handicap Index® updated on regular and consistent basis. The revision schedule of when these changes occur may not be well known by all golfers and it may not be convenient to get to their club to get a new handicap sticker. Now golfers can receive eNewsletter via e-mail when the revised USGA Handicap Index become official.
Detailed Report
On a revision date, golfers will receive an e-mail from their golf association containing their most current revision information. The eNewsletter is a detailed representation
of all of the scores that were part of the new evaluation. In addition to the golfer's USGA Handicap Index each eNewsletter can include:
- Golfer Name & GHIN Number
- Handicap Card
- Most Recent 13 Handicap Indexes
