Posting Scores Out-of-Season

ELMSFORD, N.Y. (October 27, 2009) - With the “official” golf season coming to an end in the Metropolitan area, it is important to know what scores (if any) played in the winter months are eligible to be posted for handicap purposes. Those who play well in the winter months tend to believe that their scores should not be posted for handicap purposes. Sometimes they even point to the fact that they have forgotten some of the important details about their score – like the actual score – to justify not posting.
