How to Get a FSGA GHIN Handicap

FSGA GHIN stands for Florida State Golf Association Golf Handicap Information Network, which logs all your golf scores and tallies your handicap based on your score's relation to the established par for the course. That number is then deducted from your score in all amateur tournaments so as to level the playing field for all participants. Fees are required to establish this handicap and it is usually only recognized in Florida tournaments.
