I left my club (or moved away). Can I keep my GHIN?
Yes — you can renew directly through an MGA eClub, or through your new region's golf association.
How to renew your MGA handicap if you still live in the MGA area
You don't need a private club membership to maintain an active GHIN handicap index. Renew online through one of the MGA eClubs (NYC, New Jersey, Long Island, Connecticut, or Hudson Valley) or a participating public club:
When you sign up, enter your existing GHIN number and your account — including your full scoring record — will reactivate automatically.
How to maintain your GHIN handicap after moving outside the MGA area
Golf associations are regional, so if you've moved, you'll need to renew through the allied golf association for your new area. Your GHIN number goes with you — there's nothing extra to set up. Find your local association using the USGA's directory: Find Your Allied Golf Association
