Purpose:
The majority of students that play
golf, whether often or occasionally, do not maintain an
official USGA Handicap Index.
For this reason the Connecticut State Golf Association
(CSGA) is taking the initiative to introduce and provide the
USGA Handicap System to students, teachers and administrators
of Connecticut schools by creating “golf clubs” for
schools.
This will:
·
Make the game of golf more enjoyable by enabling
players of differing abilities to compete on an equitable
basis.
·
Expose the golfer to peer review and the
requirement to post all scores played during an active season.
·
For golfers of superior ability, it will satisfy
the USGA requirement that all players in USGA championships
maintain a USGA Handicap Index.
·
Provide a fair Course Handicap for each player,
regardless of ability, and adjust a player’s Handicap Index
up or down as the player’s game changes.

Track your growth
Golf is a numbers game, and your club
site will help you crunch those numbers -
especially when it comes to your own
performance statistics. GHIN research shows
that golfers who track their scores can
measurably improve their game. With its
powerful metrics engine eClubhouse can track
a broad range of stats within a period of
time or for a particular course, such as:
- Average Score
- Par Differential
- Greens in Regulation
- Average Scores on Par 3s, 4s and 5s
- Average Drive and Longest Drive
- As well as, critical measures of
putts, fairways, sandies and penalties.
Track your own performance, and see for
yourself how you can improve your game.
