Who can license the software?
Any USGA Golf Club or individuals looking to potentially form USGA Golf Clubs in the future can license the software. The USGA handicap system is owned and managed solely by the USGA. Although we do NOT have the ability verify that individuals licensing the software are in fact USGA Golf Clubs or intending to form USGA Golf Clubs, we remind individuals the software only produces official USGA handicaps for USGA Golf Clubs. See our “Form USGA Club” page for more information on forming an official USGA Golf Club.
