If you joined at a golf course facility and the Handicap Chairman received your membership number electronically your membership number will be active at that golf course immediately and you may start posting scores. If you have been saving scores you may enter them on the posting computer by changing the date when asked to verify the date or you can give the Handicap Chairman the cards and ask him to do it. If the club submitted your application to the SCGA it will not be activated until the 1st of the coming month. Your membership number will become active throughout Southern California on the 1st of the coming month. You will also be able to use NetPost and our Handicap Lookup feature at that time. Your membership card will be sent to the golf course for distribution not directly to you. - Updated: September 1, 2005
