1) How do I
get a USGA Handicap Index®?
In order to get a handicap you must first join a club which
issues handicaps. There are three types of clubs. Type 1
clubs are clubs which are attached to a golf course. These
may be public or private. Type 2 clubs are clubs that are
made up of a group of people who associate regularly for
business or pleasure and to play golf. Type 2 clubs usually
restrict membership to those who meet their membership
requirements. Type 3 clubs are clubs which are open to
anyone. In order to maintain a handicap at a type 3 club,
you must play in club events and play rounds with other
members during the year.
2) How
do I become a member of the WPGA?
You become a member by joining one of the WPGA member clubs.
These clubs are listed on the Member Club page. Different
clubs have different membership requirements. You should
check with the club regarding its membership policies. Once
you have joined a member club and have been entered on their
handicap rolls you are a member of the WPGA. The WPGA
charges the club $20.00 per year for membership dues for
each adult who maintains a handicap. This charge may be
passed on to you or included in your membership fees at the
club. Click here for article "How Do I Become a Member?"
3) How
does a club join the WPGA?
Clubs join the WPGA by filling out a membership application
and submitting it for approval by the WPGA Executive
Committee. Membership applications can be obtained by
contacting WPGA at 412-826-2180.
4) How
can my friends and I start our own club?
Any group of ten or more people who gather for reasons of
golf or otherwise may form a golf club. Once you have formed
a club, you may join the WPGA as a Type 2 club (or club
without a golf course.) The WPGA has information published
by the USGA regarding the formation of a golf club. Please
contact the WPGA for more information at 412-826-2180.
5) Can
my league join the WPGA?
Yes, leagues may join the WPGA as a Type 2 club. Simply
follow the process to start your own club and then apply for
membership. Contact us at 412-826-2180 for more information.
