Golf scores are entered on the GHIN website for handicap. Post all your scores, not just those played as part of WWGA; AND, please post them within a day or two after playing the round.
If you are a new player, Rita DiPaolo/or Westpark will provide you with your GHIN number after you signup for WWGA.
You have 3 options for posting:
1: Use the computer logged into the GHIN site in the Westpark Grill as soon as you finish your round.
2: Use another computer, by going to http://www.ghin.com/scorePosting.aspx
3: Download the mobile GHIN app to your tablet or smartphone, available free at ITunes and GooglePlay
In each case, you will need to:
Enter GHIN number
Enter last name
Enter Date - when you played the round for the score you are entering
Enter Type - one of the following three
--Home - enter your weekly score at Westpark with "Home" as the type. (For the majority of WWGA League Players)
--Tournament - probably won't use since this is for "real" golf tournaments (not the WWGA weekly tournaments).
--Away - enter your score when you play at a golf course other than Westpark.
Follow the rest of the drop downs to identify the course and tees used and lastly enter your score.
