Getting a USGA Handicap Index®

While the USGA® develops the formula used in tabulating handicaps, it does not issue them directly to individual golfers. A USGA Handicap Index is issued through licensed golf clubs that follow all the procedures of the established USGA Handicap System. The Keystone's Premier Golf Association ensures the honesty of the USGA Handicap Indexes® its Member Clubs issue to their members. The Handicap Program includes course rating, handicap administration, and certified USGA Handicap Indexes® are revised thirteen times during the active season. Please see the revision schedule for actual dates. The USGA definition of a golf club can be found below.
