Company Offers Country Club Incentives

Golf has become an American pastime for young and old and men and women. Everyone loves this relaxing and exciting game, but many cannot afford to join country clubs which offer golfing incentives. That?s why a web based server is now seeing record numbers, as it offers players what they generally cannot afford. Net Handicap, one of North America?s largest online USGA golf handicap services, today announced that it has surpassed 100,000 members of its online service. Net Handicap is experiencing tremendous growth in its online membership for golfers who wish to obtain a USGA golf handicap however are not members of a country club.

Net Handicap allows golfers who live within a 50 mile radius of an established virtual club which Net Handicap has created in the 50 largest cities in the United States. Golfers join clubs simply by inputting a zip code of the golfer?s home or place of business and the Net Handicap system assigns the golfer to the appropriate virtual golf club within seconds. Peer review is established by accessing online tools which show all golfers statistical history in the club including, rounds played, scores, USGA handicap and other pertinent information. Further, a committee and chairman are established to ensure additional governance. As well, each golfer is solicited to play with at least one other golfer in the club three times in a year and play in an organized club event in order to comply with the USGA guidelines.

Founded in 1999, Net Handicap, Inc is one of the nation?s largest software providers for golf handicap systems. Built on the newest technology, Net Handicap offers a web based service to private, public, municipal or military golf clubs, golf associations or other organizations wishing to manage a golf membership and provide a USGA golf handicap index. Individual golfers can benefit by joining and obtaining either a recreational or USGA handicap index online without joining a private club.
