Are you having problems with your Handicap?
Please read and follow all the instructions on this page:  http://www.stracka.com/golf-clubs/default.asp

Here are some Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: I already joined a Golf Club and my handicap is still not displayed.
A: Remember, you must have at least 5 rounds posted (all posted prior to the last revision date) before a handicap is calculated.  Also, the golf club must be licensed by the USGA.   As of January 2010, you must also upgrade your membership.  See here: http://www.stracka.com/packages.asp

Q: I used to have a handicap but now it isn't working.
A: If you had a handicap before we were compliant with the USGA, you must now join a Golf Club and upgrade your membership. Join a golf club here:  http://www.stracka.com/golf-clubs/default.asp  Upgrade your membership here: http://www.stracka.com/packages.asp

How do I find my handicap when it is adjusted to different courses? I don"t know where to look?

I was looking at signing up to play in the Nature Valley Amateur and will need an email address and phone number for my golf club. Question is if the "Chairman" does not provide either is their someone through the Stracka website I can use to verify my handicap index so I can play?

Do I need to have all scores attested when submitting. I did not see that alert on the first 2 entries an my last one it came up?

When I try to email our chairman (NYC 992) it sends the email to me. Could someone look at that so we can email him about tournaments.

I belong to a club that says status pending. This club is almost a year old! When we we be in compliance to get out handicapps? No members have handicapps as far as I can see. All clubs in 50 mile radiance say pending for me. :(

I joined the golf club but did not get 5 rounds in prior the 6/15 revisions date. I have since post more than 5 scores when can I get a handicap??

I payed to get a handicap, was in a club,was dropped from the club?,and not listed anywhere! What gives? If the club is not comlient, then my 20+ scores are of no value? May be a reason why people are leaving. Labman1

I am frustrated because I payed and joined this in order to get a USGA handicap and there is not a club I can join within 50 miles of my location that is in compliance. Is there anyway around this?

Thanks

What gives? I've got over 400 rounds posted and the last couple of months my handicap is being calculated based on only 8 selected rounds.

I am new to this. I have joined two local golf clubs. I have also posted more than 5 of he minimum scores required to get a handicap index. I have also paid for the membership fees. My question is the following. How come I do not see anywhere my USGA handicap number. I went on the USGA website and entered my name and nothing. Can some please help.

Thanks

Brando, I'm looking to get away from my local club and join a different one thats about 40 miles from my home. The one I'm currently in I think is having problems with the chairperson. I've sent several messages to him with no answer. I have already put in a request to the Pelican Point club in Venice, Fl. Will all my information follow if they accept me and then should I leave the Hole in none Club? Thanks for your time--
