I just got my USGA membership renewal packet in the mail today. Not only did I get my 2010 U.S. Open Pebble Beach hat, but they also included a little booklet called Shortcut to the USGA Handicap System.
As the 2009 wore on, I got to be meticulous about keeping my handicap and learned a few things I didn’t know before. If your only experience with the USGA handicap system is entering scores in a computer and affixing a new sticker [...]
