A golf handicap is a numerical measure of an amateur golfer's playing ability. It can be used to calculate a net score from the number of strokes actually played, thus allowing players of different proficiency to play against each other on somewhat equal terms. Handicaps are administrated by golf clubs or national golf associations.
So why should you maintain a handicap? 
  1. So that you can be paired up with other EWGA members of the same playing ability.
  2. So that you can track your improvement from month to month.
  3. So that you can participate in golf tournaments, including the Chapter Championship and the Tidewater Cup!
