How to Edit or Delete a Score

How members correct, edit, or delete a score — including duplicate scores, wrong course or tee, and incorrect totals. Covers same-day self-service in the GHIN app versus prior-dated corrections that require MGA Member Services.

To correct an incorrect USGA/GHIN Handicap score, the process depends on when the score was posted: same-day scores can be deleted and re-posted by the member, while prior-dated scores must be corrected through MGA Member Services.

How do I correct a GHIN score posted today?

You can delete a same-day score yourself — no staff action is needed. Follow these steps:

  1. Open the GHIN app or My MGA app.
  2. Go to Score History.
  3. Find the incorrect score, then swipe or tap to delete it.
  4. Re-post the correct score.

Note: Deleting a score from Score History also removes it from your handicap calculation.

How do I correct a GHIN score posted on a prior date?

Prior-dated scores cannot be deleted through the app and must be corrected by MGA Member Services. To submit a correction request, gather the following information, then contact MGA Member Services at [contact method — e.g., phone number, email address, or link to contact form]:

  • Round date
  • Course played
  • GHIN number

Member Services processes requests during business hours (Monday–Friday, excluding holidays) and will escalate to the member's club or handicap committee if needed — the member does not need to contact their club directly.

What is the difference between same-day and prior-dated GHIN score corrections?

Same-day corrections are immediate and self-service via the app. Prior-dated corrections are not instant and must be handled by MGA Member Services during business hours (Monday–Friday, excluding holidays).
