Beginning January of 2021, the USGA has updated how golfers access the GHIN app and website to improve data security and privacy.
Q: Why do I need to create a digital profile to log into the GHIN Mobile App and ghin.com?
A: In order to improve data security and golfer privacy, golfers will need to create a digital profile to access the GHIN Mobile App and ghin.com.
Q: How do I add my email address to my GHIN profile so that I can create a digital profile?
A: Please ask your Club or MGA to update your GHIN profile.
Q: I have created a digital profile, but forgot my login information. What should I do?
A: There is a "Forgot Login Information" link on the GHIN Mobile App and ghin.com login page. You will need to supply your GHIN Number or email address and a reset password email will be sent to your email address on file.
Q: I share an email address with another golfer, can we log in with the same email address?
A: No, only one digital profile can be tied to one unique email address. The first person to set up a digital profile will “claim” that email address. Another email address must be provided for the other golfer.
Q: I do not know my GHIN Number; how do I obtain it?
A: Please contact your Club or the MGA by using the support widget in the bottom right corner of our site.
Q: I know my GHIN Number, but I am seeing an “Unable to Find Golfer” error message, why?
A: This may be happening for a few reasons:
- Do not include a “dash” in your GHIN Number.
- You may have an Inactive membership, please contact your Club or the MGA
- You must be using the GHIN platform, not 3rd party handicap vendors.
