Your GolfNet handicap ID Number is simply a combination
of your home club ID and the golfer number that you
enter when you enter scores at the handicap posting
station. This number is also your IGN number. This number
is used when you post scores away from your home club.
Your IGN number ensures that your scores will be routed
back to your home club.

| What Is The IGN? |
|
|
The IGN is a non-profit corporation which is operated
by the participating golf associations for the sole
purpose of providing their members with the ability
to post anywhere they play. With IGN, players can post
scores at other clubs within their state or outside
of their state association and have these scores routed
back to their home club. The IGN also provides the ability
for score files to be linked of individuals who are
members of more than one participating IGN association.

| IGN FAQ |
|
| What is the International Golf Network? |
|
|
The IGN was developed by the International Association
of Golf Administrators to facilitate the transfer of
posted scores between associations, which use different
handicap vendors. It provides associations and their
handicap vendor's access through the internet to share
scores between the participating associations. Through
this system, KPGA members will have the ability to post
scores. The network also provides the ability for individual
golfers who are members of more than one IGN association
to have their score files linked. This enables the golfer
to maintain a more accurate Handicap Index at the associations
where they are a member. The IGN is the first international
network of its kind, with 48 participating associations
at this time.
|
| Is my association participating? |
|
|
Yes, the KPGA is currently a member of the IGN. Currently
there are 48 associations across North America and abroad
that are participating. Following is a list of current
participating associations. For the most recent listing
please visit the IGN website, www.ign.net.
|
| How do I post a score when traveling
outside of KPGA? |
|
First, you must be playing golf within an IGN participating
association's region (see listing on IGN website, www.ign.net).
Next, look for the posting computer in the golf shop
or locker room. On the front posting screen should be
the IGN symbol or lettering. You will want to make that
selection for the IGN. In some order you will be asked
to enter your association membership number, the date
you played, the course and slope ratings, your score
and finally what association you want this score routed
back to. The order of these steps may vary slightly
with each association. Please be sure that you have
selected the KPGA as the association to have your score
routed to.
Sources may NOT be posted directly on the IGN
website.
|
| Can I find out if my score was posted
correctly? |
|
Yes, you may track any scores posted through the IGN
on the IGN website, www.ign.net. On the home page of
the website is the feature Member Functions. The individual
should make that selection and then enter their IGN
membership number, the month they would like to view
scores for, the year and the association they belong
to (KPGA). The results will show any scores posted by
the individual, the date played, course name, corresponding
ratings and scores as well as the vendor who sent the
score.
The handicap vendors are required to send scores at
least once a week to the IGN. Depending upon when you
post a score and when the vendor sends scores there
may be a slight delay until you will see the score on
the IGN website Scores should show on the IGN website
no longer than 14 days after being posted.
|
| How will my club get the IGN software? |
|
Golfnet, the KPGA's handicap vendor, includes the IGN
feature as part of its software package. Updates to
the IGN software will be included with Golfnet update
disks, which are sent to the member clubs.
|
| What features are available on the IGN
website for individuals to use? |
On the home page of the IGN site, there
is an option for Member Functions. Individuals who have
posted a score outside of their home region through the
IGN system can go into this section and track the score.
The individual will put in their IGN number then select
the Keyston Premier Golf Association as the member association
and the month they want to track. Results will show any
scores that were posted through the IGN that month, what
handicap vendor sent the scores, and at what golf course
the scores were posted.
