Get a Handicap

The Mississippi Golf Association offers golf facilities in our state the opportunity to use the GHIN Handicap Service as an additional benefit to their members or guests.

What is a Golf Handicap?

The purpose of the USGA Handicap System is to make the game of golf more enjoyable by enabling golfers of differing abilities to compete on an equitable basis.

USGA Course Rating

The USGA Course and Slope Rating is an important piece of the Handicap System. The Mississippi Golf Association relies on volunteer teams in various regions of the state to complete approximately 20 rating per year.
