How do I enter my scores into the system for rounds
I play at Newton Commonwealth?
No matter
what course you play, when you play a round of golf and record
your score, you are responsible for entering that score into
the GHIN system. Before starting to enter you score into the
GHIN computer, you must first 'adjust' your score. As discussed
above under 'Equitable Stroke Control', there is a maximum score
you can record on any given hole based on your handicap. If you
are a 15 handicap and shoot a round of 84 that includes an '8'
on a hole, the maximum score you can take is a '7' so your adjusted
score will be an 83. It is the adjusted score that is entered
into the GHIN system. (Note: If you do not have a handicap established
yet you should enter your unadjusted score). To do this, you
will need to know your Local Number. This Local Number is a 3
or 4 digit number used to identify the number of members of the
NCIC, and it is different from your GHIN number. You can find
your local number on the listing posted on the bulletin board.
When you use the GHIN computer at Newton Commonwealth you first
enter your Local Number and the system will bring up your scoring
history. You enter your adjusted score, and you will be asked
whether or not you want to change any of the 'default' information
(date, tees played from, slope, and rating). If you played the
round at Newton Commonwealth, there should be no need to change
anything. Just enter the score and the system will accept it
and that's it. You must still put the completed scorecard in
the scorecard box because spot checks will be done by the handicap
committee. Instructions, along with a sample card, are posted
on the box to guide you in completing the card.
