Latest info about implementation of the World Handicap System from the USGA

Mark Bryden forwarded an email he got from the USGA this morning. From Mark - “Just got this. I was expecting it, as I tried to post a couple scores on my GHIN app. It was down. I called the MGA and was told it was coming back soon, but that I would have to download a new version of the app before I could use it.”

Here’s a link to the USGA’s web pages that explain the whole thing. https://www.usga.org/handicapping/roh/2020-rules-of-handicapping.html

(Editorial comment: I think the bigger thing to keep in mind is that Mark was frustrated because he was playing golf in January and trying to post a score from PEBBLE BEACH. It’s a reminder and a lesson to all of us that sometimes life kicks you in the teeth, and you just have to get up, dust yourself off, and make the best of it going forward.)
