I am not sure about all handicap services but ghin updates twice a month - whatever service you use will probably show your handicap within a couple of weeks

It's the same - my handicap doesnt change every time i enter scores - its only on update days. Also you only need 5 scores for an index to be generated.

When i first got my handicap, I had to play 5 rounds of competition golf with a member/marker.

thats was 3-4 years ago.

It is all done by our clubhouse, every month or so, they will right down our current index on our monthly email.

If your using GHIN, then you need to input 5 rounds in order to get a Handicap Index. Every two weeks your golf association will do a revision and that is when you will see what your index is, until then you'll see NH.

Dogfood, (Im not sure how I feel calling someone that but anyway), in that case check with your golf association to see how many rounds you need to post before you get your index because it looks like it varies w/ different associations.

In North Carolina, which I believe all are run by Carolinas Golf Association (CGA), the computers calculate an instant index as soon as any scores are input into the local computer. The official handicap is calculated and uploaded at the start of every month. After the first month, both the official and instant home handicap and index are always viewable on your home course computer.

Carolinas Golf Association (CGA) updates official handicap indexes twice a month.

Clipped & pasted from - http://www.carolinasgolf.org/ "All Carolinas clubs must observe the same revision or update schedule. All clubs that offer handicaps to golfers in the Carolinas must revise or update USGA handicap indexes twice a month on the first and 15th of each month. This gives Carolinas clubs 24 revisions per year. Clubs that do not observe this revision schedule cannot refer to their handicaps as USGA handicaps."

      I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.

      Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
