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 December 31, 2011 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.
