The WPGA Handicap Committee is pleased to continue conducting
the Handicap Chair Certification Program. The purpose of this
program is to educate members and employees of Association
Member Clubs on the USGA Handicap System and handicapping
policies and procedures in the Western Pennsylvania district to
be better prepared to handle duties at the club. This year marks
a revision of the USGA Handicap System, 2008-2011 and every club
wishing to issue a Handicap Index to each member must attend a
seminar. We encourage each club to complete this requirement
this year, and we will be conducting a series of seminars this
spring and fall. At each seminar, registration will begin at
8:30 AM and the program will follow at 9:00 AM. You are invited
to attend any of the seminars. The dates follow:
Tuesday, April 22, 2008 @ Chestnut Ridge Resort, Blairsville, PA
Tuesday, April 29, 2008 @ Churchill Valley Country Club,
Pittsburgh, PA
Tuesday, May 6, 2008 @ Rolling Hills Country Club, McMurray, PA
It is a requirement
of the USGA Handicap System that a representative from each
Member Club attend a seminar conducted by the Western
Pennsylvania Golf Association or the United States Golf
Association, or complete the program online during each
certification period in order to issue any Handicap Index. The
current period ends December 31, 2011. The club is receiving
this special notice to alert you that your club has not yet been
certified.
Please fill out the included
registration form and send it to the Association. Email, phone
and fax registrations are acceptable. Any questions about this
seminar may be directed to Terry Teasdale. There is no fee for this program for
representatives from WPGA Member Clubs.
