I have two GHIN numbers. How do I fix it?

How duplicates happen

Signing up again instead of renewing (the join form creates a brand-new GHIN if it doesn't recognize you); your club creating a profile you didn't know existed; a Youth on Course or junior program (like Met PGA Junior) issuing a new number when you already had one from a trial or another club; or registering with a different email than the one on your original account.

The fix: ask us to merge

Contact Member Services with both GHIN numbers (or as much as you know). We merge the accounts into one — you keep a single GHIN number going forward, with all of your scoring data from both accounts, active with your current club or program. You'll get an email to set your password if the surviving account needs a new login. Merges are typically same-day.

If you accidentally paid for a duplicate membership

If you paid for a new membership (for example, the $70 USGA/MGA Golf Club fee) on an account you don't need, the USGA handles the refund: log in to the membership portal with that account's details to request it, or contact the USGA directly at gcsupport@usga.org. Refunds appear on your statement within approximately 10 business days. Forwarding your payment confirmation (or a screenshot of the charge) speeds things up.

Avoid the duplicate next time

When renewing or signing up, always enter your existing GHIN number — never create a fresh profile because you can't get into the old one. Login trouble is fixable in minutes; untangling a duplicate paid account takes days.
