GN21 - Handicap Service
The purpose of the USGA Handicap System is to make the game of golf more enjoyable by enabling players of differing abilities to compete on an equitable basis.
Having a handicap index allows golfers to participate in more events (those that require a handicap index), have a measureable means of tracking improvement, and allows score adjustments to even the playing field when playing with golfers of different skill levels.
EWGA provides its members with an incredible opportunity to build a handicap through the GN21 Handicap Service. This service is included in your member fee, so why not take advantage?
Every member who is playing well enough to keep score is encouraged to obtain a Handicap Index through GN21.

Keep in mind: Two basic premises underlie the USGA Handicap System, namely that each player will try to make the best score at every hole in every round, regardless of where the round is played, and that the player will post every acceptable round for peer review.
Scores entered do not expire, so it doesn't matter how many scores you enter each year. Start working on your handicap now! The scores for 5 rounds of 18 holes must be posted before you will receive a handicap. 9 hole rounds may be combined.
For further detail, you can look at the instructions provided from EWGA Login & Score Posting for GN21.
