Golf Handicap FAQ: What is "GHIN"?

By Brent Kelley, About.com Guide

GHIN is an acronym for the Golf Handicap and Information Network, a handicapping service provided by the USGA to participating associations and clubs.

Associations and clubs sign up to use the service, allowing their members to post scores, calculate handicaps and retrieve handicap information online, from any computer.

For more information on GHIN - or if you're a member of GHIN, to post a score or retrieve info - visit the GHIN homepage.
