Are you sure that the cell number isn’t your user name?  There should still be an actual GHIN number.  If not, it’s completely different from what I’ve seen anywhere else, which seems unlikely since GHIN is a USGA product used nationally.

Sent my GHIN info to Iacas as I didn't want to post up my cell number in the thread really. Our club is setup as "EClub West TN" since it's not through a course. But yeah, my actual GHIN number is my cell number. My son's is the same way. Been like this for years because when I first started this, my home course did not offer the service.

Interesting, we learn something new all the time.  @TN94z, I know that my GHIN number is 7 digits, is yours the full 10-digit phone number?

Mine is 8, Dave.

Members of my eClub have different length numbers too.

Our numbers are 7 digits. I'd be curious to see if it went to 10 digits if there were to be conflict of some sort..

OK - i discovered that i had gone thru golfnet.com thus i did not a have a GHIN number.  I joined a club in June and they set me up in USGA so i have a real GHIN number.  I entered the few rounds i played in 2019 due to injury and got all of my rounds for 2020 entered.  So now i have an updated GHIN.

I am playing terrible golf right now, like i haven't played this bad since i was in 7th grade, many many years ago.  That is due to having injuries the last 2 seasons that really limited my play and then this year i started off with a right shoulder injury.  

But i am having a blast playing golf, really am enjoying the game tremendously.  All have my kids have started playing ages 20 thru 27, that's 5 kids and all of their significant others are also taking up the game.  My wife has started playing again as well.  Add in a lot of my nieces and nephews that have started.  It really is so enjoyable to be arround.

thank you EVERYONE for the advice on how to work thru this.  Appreciate this site

You and your wife were pretty busy there for awhile.  OT, but I couldn't help but notice.

    • Which is actually the worse way to do it… Model Local Rule E-3 “When any part of a player’s ball touches part of the general area cut to fairway height or less [or identify a specific area, such as on the fairway of the 6th hole], the player may take free relief once by placing the original ball or another ball in and playing it from this relief area: Reference Point: Spot of the original ball. Size of Relief Area Measured from Reference Point: [Specify size of relief area, such as one club-length, one scorecard length or 6 inches] from the reference point, but with these limits: Limits on Location of Relief Area: Must not be nearer the hole than the reference point, and Must be in the general area. In proceeding under this Local Rule, the player must choose a spot to place the ball and use the procedures for replacing a ball under Rules 14.2b(2) and 14.2e. But, for the purposes of applying Rule 14.2e, the player has only chosen the spot on which to place the ball once the ball has been set down, and the player has let the ball go with the intent for that ball to be in play.  After a ball has been placed and is in play under this Local Rule, if the player then proceeds under another Rule that provides relief, this Local Rule may be used again. You could write it as… “When any part of a player’s ball touches part of the general area, the player may take free relief once by placing the original ball or another ball in and playing it from this relief area: Reference Point: Spot of the original ball. Size of Relief Area Measured from Reference Point: a folded scorecard from the reference point… If a player can move from the rough to the fairway (or vice versa, as a lot prefer to perch the ball up in the rough if they can), good for them. So the model local rule is actually often more forgiving about the lie (because the general area is the general area) is fine.
    • Day 111: 4/16/24 Stack Full Speed Spectrum training session 24/24. Finished 2 mph below my top speed which happened in sessions 6 and 18. Progress check in 2 days.  Hoping to make gains for this program.
    • Most clubs that implement preferred lies also require that the type of lie remain the same. I.E. you cannot move the ball from rough to fairway. Does your league require the same?
    • I might have to work on the putting arc and face control. The putter feels closed on the way back and opening the face and pushing putts right. Lots of misses to the heel of the putter. I do think I’m going to stand over the ball less. One glance and the hole then pull the trigger.
