Handicap ID

The Handicap ID refers to the unique identification number assigned to each individual player in the USGA Centralized Computation Service. The Handicap ID should be used by the player when entering a competition for Handicap Index verification. The club official can use this number to search the USGA Centralized Computation Service to manage the player’s membership or verify the Handicap Index. It should be the primary identifier for the player with the descriptor referenced with secondary emphasis. Example: Handicap ID (MGA#).
