Handicap on Golf Canada?

[jsttaylor]

If you're a member at a registered RCGA course and keep a handicap, should it not appear on the Golf Canada website or the Golf Association of Ontario site?

[jvincent]

It should definitely appear on the Golf Canada site. All of the regional sites moved/merged into the main Golf Canada site last year so there was some messiness related to the move with loginIDs, etc.

Do you know your network ID? I just did a search for you and I didn't find you unless you are registered under a different first name.

How do I know if my course is certified as an RCGA course? I've never had a login or such on either RCGA or GolfCanada.

[jvincent]

If it shows up on the RCGA course list, it's a member. Which course is it?

[jsttaylor]

Cedar Glen in Williamsburg.

It's on the list of member clubs.

If you are paying RCGA member dues then you should at some point have been given an RCGA ID.

This response from Golf Canada. I guess you don't get an RCGA ID using this method. And no one can look up your handicap. Too bad.


Hi Jeff,

You won’t be able to find yourself on the Public Handicap Lookup tool because your club is using a third-party software and not our online system. Based on my records, your club is using Northern Systems, which is a certified handicap software and produced valid Golf Canada/RCGA handicap factors.

All of the clubs you’ve listed are indeed members of Golf Canada and any score you post at one of those clubs will hold a valid slope/course rating for handicap computation.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me at the coordinates below.
