USGA Handicap Seminar on April 7 at Florence Country Club West End, NC (2/3/10) - The United States Golf Association (USGA) will conduct a handicap seminar on April 7 at Florence Country Club in Florence, S.C. Cost is $40.00 per person and includes seminar and lunch. This will be the only USGA handicap seminar run by the USGA in the Carolinas in 2010. Prior to 2007, the United States Golf Association required someone from your club to attend a USGA or CGA handicap seminar, take a test, pass it and then sign a USGA Handicap Licensing Agreement. The USGA has created the same obligation for your club between 2008 and the end of 2011. Your previous handicap licensing agreement is valid until 12/31/2011. However, someone from the club must take the seminar and test before 12/31/2011 to fulfill the new obligation. This seminar can accomplish the requirement. Do not contact the CGA to sign up. If you are interested in attending you must register through the USGA...USGA Handicap Seminar Registration |

As a result, the USGA and The R&A have created a reference resource called the Informational Club Database (the "Database")...Search the USGA Informational Club Database *CGA Note: This "Condition of Competition" only effects players wishing to compete in the 2010 U.S. Open Sectional qualifying, 2010 U.S. Senior Open Sectional qualifying, and 2010 U.S. Women's Open Sectional qualifying. 2010 U.S. Open Local qualifiers will not have the local rule in effect but will go into effect for 2011.
