For Rochester golfers who want an official Handicap Index but do not belong to a golf club, a solution has arrived.
eClub Rochester allows golfers to post scores online and receive emailed Handicap Index revisions every two weeks during the golf season. This golf club is licensed by the New York State Golf Association. That means the Handicap Index will be accepted wherever a golfer travels to play.
For $35/year the site offers not only handicapping software but also statistic tracking features. Enter information from a golf round such as number of putts or driving distance and the site creates easy to analyze charts and graphs. The yearly fee also includes membership in the New York State Golf Association. Therefore, eClub Rochester members will be eligible to compete in NYSGA Championships. eclub members also get discounted entry fees to NYSGA State Day Tournaments. These are fun net events, with players being flighted based upon Course Handicap. One such tournament will be held at Ravenwood Golf Club in Victor on Saturday, May 16th.
To join, visit the site at http://rochester.ghinclub.com. Credit card and check payments are accepted. Attendees of the Rochester Golf Show can sign up for a free two month membership at the NYSGA booth.
