2023 MEMBERS ONLY – DECISION TIME ON HANDICAPS


As promised in the December 3, 2022 email to all Cleveland Chapter members, we are circling back for your decision in regards to handicap service for 2023. In the December email, we provided a detailed description of the changes in the handicap services for ALL LPGA Amateur members in 2023. Click here to review the December email.


We realize there are other options to obtain a handicap. We will only accept a handicap that is accessible via the GHIN.com lookup function. It is your responsibility to determine if a handicap obtained from a source other than option No. 1 below will qualify. 


If you have made the commitment to renew your LPGA Amateurs Cleveland Chapter membership (which is due by 3-15), PLEASE RESPOND PROMPTLY. We request answers from ALL members by 2-21 to allow processing time to have the system functioning by April 1.


EVERY 2023 LPGA Amateurs Cleveland Chapter member MUST select an option:

1.    Purchase a GHIN handicap through Northern Ohio Golf Association (NOGA) administered by the Cleveland Chapter handicap chair (currently Wendy Shick). Wendy will be responsible for the initial set up of the handicaps. DO NOT REGISTER ON YOUR OWN THROUGH NOGA.


To select this option, click HERE to pay the $17.50 annual fee.

2.    I have access to a GHIN handicap from another source for 2023 - to select this option, click HERE.

3.    I will not establish a GHIN handicap for 2023. I understand I will not be able to fully participate in ALL events of the Cleveland chapter and other LPGA Amateurs national competitive events. To select this option, click HERE.

IF YOU HAVE GOLF ROUNDS THAT NEED POSTED, PLEASE CONTINUE TO HOLD SCORECARDS UNTIL 4-1-23 WHEN YOUR HANDICAP WILL BE ACTIVATED.


We hope ALL members will decide to establish a GHIN handicap. It is a way to track your progress as a golfer, help understand when you actually played well, allows access to ALL of our chapter events, allows golfers of all abilities to compete together and unlocks opportunities to win some prizes and cash. A handicap maximizes the investment in your LPGA Amateurs membership and enriches the wonderful game of golf.
