A U.S.G.A. Handicap Index is computed for each golfer every other week from mid-April through October.

Village Links golfers can also post handicap scores online at www.cdga.org. You will need your CDGA member number to post online. Official handicaps are used in most of the competitions conducted at the Village Links each year. They enable golfers of varied abilities to compete on an equitable basis and are often used by golfers to chart their own progress. USGA handicaps are accepted at golf courses across the country. CDGA members receive a subscription to the Chicago District Golfer magazine, can play in CDGA tournaments, and qualify for discounts at certain golf courses. 2008 CDGA Handicap Revision Schedule March 27 is the first day that scores can be accepted.
