Handicap Frequently Asked Questions

I have never had a registered handicap and therefore would like to establish this. I do not belong to any club either. What is the best way to do this?
The Province Golf Club has been established for golf players who do not have membership in a Golf Club. Membership is open to all golfers residing in BC who do not belong to a member club of the BCGA and who regularly play at public facilities and pay a green fee. Please follow the BCGA Player's Club link for more information and an application form.
