How to Get a Golf Handicap Online

Just because you aren't a country club member doesn't mean you can't have a handicap. There are many online resources that allow any golfer to record his rounds to develop a real handicap. Many of those same websites also offer users the ability record other golf stats such as fairways hit, green in regulations and putts. Best of all, most of the websites offer these services free of charge.

Things You'll Need

• Internet access
• Golf clubs

Instructions

1. Choose one of many free online golf handicap recording websites. (See Resource section.)

2. Register for your chosen website.

3. Complete five 18-hold rounds of golf. Most handicap calculator websites, as well as the USGA, require at least five rounds of golf to calculate a handicap.

4. Record the golf course information as well as your score into the website where you registered to have your handicap recorded. It helps to have your score card handy when inserting this information---because most websites will ask for specific information on the course you played.

5. Continue recording your updated rounds into the website to keep your golf handicap current.
