One of the essential services the GAP offers to its members is handicapping — a vital piece to keeping the game fair, just and fun for golfers of all skill levels. Since its inception in 1912, the USGA Handicap System has made it possible for golfers of differing abilities to do just that. More than 2.3 million golfers from approximately 14,000 clubs across the country have handicaps provided by the USGA’s GHIN (Golf Handicap & Information Network) service, including 187 GAP Member Clubs. Another important feature of GAP’s Handicap Service is golfer inquiries. A GAP/GHIN club may obtain handicap information about any of the nearly 2.3 million golfers on the GHIN system. Verifying handicaps for member-guest and invitation tournaments is right at your fingertips. GAP/GHIN users are able to post their scores on the GAP App or via the Internet at www.ghin.com or www.gapgolf.org. In addition to the handicapping services provided, the Golf Association of Philadelphia is proud to offer access to the TrackMan Swing and Ball Flight Analysis system to its membership. TrackMan is the standard for equipment makers, PGA Tour professionals and the sport’s governing bodies, the USGA and the R&A.
