The Golf Handicap Information Network (GHIN) is a service offered by the USGA to golf associations worldwide. GHIN is one of the largest handicap management tools in the world, serving more than 2 million golfers and 15,000 golf clubs. 

 Key changes for 2024:

• 9-hole scores are now combined with an expected Score Differential so they can count toward your Handicap Index the very next day.

• A new approach for 10-17 holes played where hole-by-hole score posting is used to determine your 18-hole Score Differential.

• Many shorter and par-3 courses are eligible for a Course Rating and Slope Rating, making the system more accommodating for all players.

•  If you would like to get more information on all 2024 changes – you can find them at the link below.
