FAQ’s
Q1. If I had a GHIN at a different course, will my scores be transferred?
A1. Yes. As long as it was on the GHIN system and not more than 2 years inactive, your GHIN number will stay the same and your scoring history will transfer.
Q2. How do I find out my GHIN number?
A2. Click here to look up your GHIN number. If you were a member of the Twin Cities Golf Club you will see it there. If you don’t see your name, contact the Minnesota Golf Association at 952-927-4643
Q3. How do I print out my handicap card?
A3. Beginning April 1 of each year, GHIN will email you a handicap revision update every 2 weeks. Included in this email is a printable version of your handicap card. If you need proof/ verification sooner than that, the MGA recommends you:
1 – go to ghin.com
2 – click on Handicap Lookup
3 – enter your GHIN number
4 – print out your scoring history (your handicap is listed)
Q4. How do I post scores?
A4. You can post scores (a) online here at www.TwinCitiesGolf.com (hover over GET A USGA HANDICAP link at the top) or (b) at courses that have a GHIN computer. Post scores with your LAST NAME and GHIN NUMBER. Click on Find Course Rating/Slope button to choose your course. If the course you played is NOT in the system, enter the rating and slope, your score, and course name in the boxes. Most courses locally and nationwide are in the GHIN system. See below Q5 for how to post scores hole by hole or to track your stats.
Q5. How do I post Hole-by-Hole and track my stats? (This is for Twin Cities Golf Club members only)
A5. In order to post hole-by-hole and track your stats, you will first need to set up an account with GHIN’s eGolfer. While you are on the Post a Score page, click on Create a profile now! in the eGolfer section. Make sure you know your GHIN number.
