Ladies Club Competition (when qualified) after having turned in 3 score cards to establish your handicap. Fill out the WHITE scorecard for the ladies club weekly competition. PRINT your first and last name on your scorecard along with your handicap for that week (you can look up your course handicap for that day using the GHIN app). Find your handicap and write it on your card.
NOTE: You must have an established handicap to participate in any competition. A signed, attested, and dated scorecard of three 18-hole rounds, six 9-hole rounds, or a combination of both, from any USGA sloped and rated course should be placed in the “New Members” red mailbox. The Handicap Chairperson will post the scores and will notify you of your handicap when established. You will then be eligible to participate in all competitions.

1st Tee - Be on deck - when the group ahead of you is teeing off or when your group is called to the tee by the Pro Shop.

Date, sign, and attest all score cards with PRINTED names (first and last) of each player in the foursome. Place your scorecard in the "New Members" red mailbox. After turning in 3 scorecards and establishing your handicap, you qualify for Ladies Club Competition and no longer need to put your score cards in the red mailbox. Please put them in the Ladies Club Competition box. The Handicap Chairperson will enter scores of New Members into the GHIN System, once you have been assigned a GHIN#. After you have 3 cards posted, you enter your own scores. It is highly recommended you post your scores hole by hole. Your score must be posted on the day of play or you will be disqualified from the competition.

Posting Scores & Competition - Ladies Club Competition - Once a handicap has been established each player posts their own score on the GHIN App downloaded to your mobile phone or on your desktop computer.
