WPGA Handicap Chair Certification Program

The WPGA started is Handicap Chair Certification Program in 2000 as a means of providing education on the USGA Handicap System™ and tools for club staff and committee members to handle and implement handicap procedures locally. In 2002, the USGA adopted a requirement that all clubs wishing to utilize the USGA Handicap System™ and issue a USGA Handicap Index® to each of its members must attend an educational program conducted by the USGA or an approved golf association. Each individual must also pass a quiz demonstrating proficiency in the USGA Handicap System™ and its procedures.

In conjunction with the Club Licensing Program, all clubs must have met these requirements by July 1, 2006 in order to issue a USGA Handicap Index® to each member. All WPGA Member Clubs fulfilled the requirements and are authorized to use the USGA Handicap System™.

The Association has offered this seminar at least once a year since 2000. In 2007, the USGA will conduct this seminar on Wednesday, April 11 at Edgewood Country Club. For more information on this educational program, please visit the following link on contact the WPGA.
