How to Reactivate/ Renew Your MGA Membership & Handicap (GHIN)

To reactivate your MGA Membership, either renew online through an MGA eClub or participating public club (entering your GHIN and email and completing payment) or ask the club you play with to add/reactivate your existing GHIN number. Once the same GHIN number is renewed or added by a club, the account will reactivate and you will be able to access the MyMGA app.

If you play with a club

Contact your club directly — they handle handicap membership renewals for their members and can reactivate you. This is the recommended path if you're still a member of a physical club.

If you don't play with a club

You can renew online through one of the MGA eClubs or a participating public club: Join the MGA

There are five eClub regions: New York City, New Jersey, Long Island, Connecticut, and Hudson Valley. You can also go straight to eClub page here: join.ghin.com/b97s7b — enter your email address and GHIN number and you'll be all set.

If you belong to the USGA/MGA Golf Club (online club)

Renew directly through the USGA here: Get a Handicap.

The one thing that matters most

Renew with your same GHIN number. As soon as you do, your account reactivates automatically — your scoring history and Handicap Index record stay with you. You do not need to create a new account, and creating one will cause duplicate-profile problems later.
