WHY GET A HANDICAP INDEX

Handicaps are a unique and integral part of the game of golf. Today, handicapping remains Vermont Golf’s most visible and widely used service with more than 12,000 State golfers utilizing the Vermont’s Handicap Service.

One of the hot topics in golf this year has been the importance of having a Handicap Index, which golfers can acquire by becoming a member of the Vermont Golf Association. There are many benefits of becoming a member of the Vermont Golf association, but Handicap Index is often regarded as the most appealing.

A common misconception is that Handicaps are only for elite players. This simply isn’t true, as the point of the Handicap System is to enable golfers of different abilities to play and compete on a fair and equal basis.
