Seekers Golf Club

To receive a USGA handicap, you must belong to a Golf Club.

The USGA definition of a golf club is "an organization of at least 10 individual members that operate under bylaws with committees (including a Handicap Committee) to supervise golf activities, provide peer review, and maintain the integrity of the USGA Handicap System. Members must have a resonable and regular opportunity to play golf with each other."

The Seekers Golf Club is a club without real estate (no golf course) and is a fully recognized USGA golf club, with scheduled outing 1 Saturday per month. Many private and public courses can also track handicaps, and set their own rules.

Handicaps are based on the best 10 of the past 20 rounds posted. A minimum of 5 rounds must be posted to have an official handicap. After 5 rounds, handicaps are calculated based on:

Number of Scores	Rounds Counted
5 or 6	Lowest 1
7 or 8	Lowest 2
9 or 10	Lowest 3
11 or 12	Lowest 4
13 or 14	Lowest 5
15 or 16	Lowest 6
17	Lowest 7
18	Lowest 8
19	Lowest 9
20	Lowest 10
