If you are unable to figure out your points leave them blank and we will figure it for you.

So with the results of the tourney posted we will discuss some of the negatives that have been established and brought to my attention.

1.    I do not post MAGA scores in your ghin handicaps. The only scores I post are for your MAGA handicaps that are kept in the MAGA System.

2.    People need to check your scorecards and make sure they are right. We do not sign cards like the USGA but maybe we need to start disqualifying people for wrong scorecards. It does not take much to add up your scores. We have at least one score wrong every tournament.

3.    In retrieving USGA handicaps we noticed there are plenty of people who are not posting their scores.  You are responsible for posting MAGA scores as well as any other scores when you play. If scores are not going to be posted then adjustments will need to be made to make handicaps fair and right for the people who are doing it right. Also if the scores are not posted we may list the names of the people in the next letter. There are some people who have yet to post any or enough scores to establish a handicap. In the internet on the GHIN System it will list the date when your scores are posted.
