Handicap Club Revision?

[sgibs]

Welcome to GHIN!
Your Handicap Index will not display until your golf club has gone through a handicap revision (as determined by the golf association to which it belongs). In addition, a minimum of five scores are needed to establish a Handicap Index. To view scores that have been entered up until a revision takes place, choose the "Most Recent Scores" tab. Once a Handicap Index is displayed, the scoring record appearing is what was used for the calculation at the revision. To see scores added after the most recent revision, use the "Most Recent Scores" tab. Those "pending" scores will be added to the Handicap Lookup screen each time a revision takes place.

Anyone have any idea what this means? What do I have to do to get this corrected?

I have played 5 rounds as well

The GHIN service only officially calculates handicap indexes (Handicap Revision) on the 1st and 15th of every month. Until you have 5 scores AND reach the 1st or the 15th your handicap index will be a NH.

There is no way to change this and no way to "correct" it. Do you need your index right away? If so, and you know who the handicap chairman is at your course he can look it up and see what it would be at the next revision. Personally, I will not do that for people because you shouldn't have waited until the last minute to sign up for a handicap in the first place.

I'm just getting into Golf recently - It was never about waiting until the last minute - i didnt even know you had to register for this - i thought it was something that was just calculated by yourself and then I heard a couple guys talking about it and they told me how to do it.

Tough love haha
