The USGA Handicap System
The United States Golf Association authorizes golf clubs and golf associations to compute and issue USGA Handicap Indexes to their members. If you are a member of such a golf club or association, Mulligan Software can provide you, without charge, a handicapping plug-in for Golf Personal that uses the USGA Handicap System to MONITOR your USGA Handicap Index computed by your golf club or association.
The Tracking Handicap Index feature included in this product is for use solely by golfers who seek to MONITOR their USGA Handicap Index issued by a golf club or golf association in accordance with the USGA Handicap System. NOTE: This product will not produce a valid USGA Handicap or a valid Handicap Index.
Neither Mulligan Software nor Mulligan's Golf Personal is connected with or endorsed by the USGA. Mulligan Software is permitted, however, to use the USGA Handicap System Formulas in this computer program for use solely by golfers who are MONITORING their Handicap Index issued by a golf club or golf association in accordance with the USGA Handicap System.
The USGA's Handicap System requires subsequent review and revisions by a golf club handicap committee where necessary, and therefore the Tracking Handicap Index generated by this program is not equivalent to, and the numbers may vary from, the USGA Handicap Index that you receive from your golf club or golf association. The terms USGA, Handicap Index, Handicap System, Tracking Handicap Index, SLOPE, Slope System, Course Handicap and Course Rating are trademarks and service marks of the USGA.
The United States Golf Association is responsible for maintaining the USGA Handi cap System. It publishes and updates, approximately every four years, a manual titled USGA Handicap System with USGA Course Rating System and USGA Handi cap Decisions, which is the complete book of information and instruction about the USGA Handicap System. The latest version of the manual is available (along with many other publications, like the Rules of Golf) from the USGA Order Department at 1-800-336-4446.
The Tracking Handicap Index feature in this program is based upon the USGA Handicap System. The USGA reviews, and makes revisions to, the USGA Handicap System every four years. The Handicap System was revised effective January 1, 1998, and will be revised every four years thereafter. Please note that as the Handicap System is revised, the present program, or updated program, as the case may be, will not provide an up-to-date Tracking Handicap Index. At the applicable times, if you are a user of the Tracking Handicap Index feature of this software, please contact the manufacturer of this software for information on obtaining the most current program or applicable upgrade.
NOTE: USGA handicapping plugins are limited to use for a maximum of 9 players with each licensed copy of Mulligan's Golf Personal.
