Handicaps calculated by NetHandicap.com are not official USGA handicaps and are not calculated in accordance with the USGA Handicap System or the USGA's handicap formulas. Among other things, the USGA Handicap System requires subsequent peer review and revision by a golf club Handicap Committee where necessary.

Handicaps calculated by NetHandicap.com are intended to enable golfers of differing abilities to compete on an equitable basis, thereby making the game of golf more enjoyable.

The USGA recommends that USGA Handicap Indexes be required in order to enter competitions conducted by all golf clubs, golf associations and other organizations. NetHandicap.com encourages you to establish an official USGA handicap index by contacting the USGA Handicapping Department at (908)234-2300 or the regional or state golf association in your area.
