Lots of services offer a handicap, but only a Handicap Index® is universally trusted by Southern California golfers for competitive purposes.
That's because a Handicap Index® requires membership in an association-certified golf club that guarantees oversight of indexes by fellow club members and a certified Handicap Chairman. This ensures golfers play and compete with a Handicap Index® that accurately reflects his or her ability.
