Frequently Asked Questions
What is involved in switching from my current handicap service to GHIN?
We retrieve a copy of your current player roster and their scores either on paper or electronically from your current handicap vendor. At that time, your players must discontinue posting scores to your current handicap provider. Within a few days, your players' records will be converted to GHIN handicaps, and the MGA member services department will send you your new database along with the GHIN software.
Does the MGA really provide all the software and support for FREE?
The MGA provides its Member Clubs with the GHIN and USGA Tournament Management software free of charge. We also provide free technical support for the software.
Aside from the per-member charges, are there any other costs?
No! There are no recurring license fees, annual charges or any other costs associated with the GHIN service.
