How do I post scores & lookup my
handicap index online?
First, log into the golf handicap system at
www.igolfct.com or
www.golfhandicapnetwork.com. On the first page you will see your
handicap card & score history.
On the top of the page you will see a
button to post an 18 hole or 9 hole score. On
the next screen, search for the course you played under the "Away
Courses" tab and choose the tees you played. (see below for
instructions on setting up your "Favorite Tees" list). Enter your
score in the "Adjusted Total Score" box and hit submit.
I'm playing in a golf tournament. How do I
provide my handicap information?
Anyone can lookup your handicap index online at
www.golfhandicapnetwork.com. This link can be
forwarded to the club pro or tournament director. You can also
print your handicap card from your revision email, which you will
receive every 2 weeks.
Why don't I need a GHIN number?
IGCT uses a different USGA computation system through the
Golf Handicap Network. The software program is called HandiComp®.
This computation system is used in many states througout the country
and is recognized by the USGA®
as an official USGA computation system. The GHIN system is
another type of computation system that many golf courses in CT
utilize.
The USGA states that a golf club can utilize any computation system,
so as long as the system complies with the USGA Handicap System
regulations. More information can be found here:

How do I set my favorite tees list?
Once logged into the handicap system, click the
"Favorite Tees" tab and click "Add a Favorite Tee." Search for the
course and tee you frequently play. (You can do this for multiple
courses & tees). Once saved, your "Favorite Tees" will display
when posting a score.
How do I become a licensed golf club?
IGCT can assist you in this process. There are many tools
