Rain
Check
The POA provides for the issuance of a rain check to a player
when inclement weather that did not exist at the start of play causes

before five holes are completed. An 9-hole rain check will be issued when

Handicap
What is a USGA HANDICAP Index?
A handicap index is the USGA’s service mark used to
indicate a measurement of a player’s potential ability on a course of
standard playing difficulty. It is expressed as a number taken to one
decimal place and is used for conversion to a course handicap. Handicap
indexes are revised every 28 days.
Do I need a handicap index?
Maybe. If you plan to play competitive golf, whether in
a league, tournament, or competition between friends, you will need a
handicap index.
How do I sign up for a handicap index?
A GHIN number will be assigned after the registration
and fee are received. Registration forms are available at any golf shop and
the POA Administration Building.
How do I post scores ?
Scores can be posted from any POA golf shop or via the
Internet at www.ghin.com. To post a score from a home computer, participants
will enter their GHIN number, and the slope and yardage of the course played
to post a score. The property owner’s member ID number is used when posting
scores from the golf shop. The USGA requires 10 posted scores before a
handicap index is calculated.
What if I post a score incorrectly?
Each golf shop has a form available for corrections
located next to their GHIN terminal. Can a GHIN number be transferred? Yes.
If a current USGA GHIN number has been issued from another club, it can be
transferred to Hot Springs Village.
