Handicap/GN21 Training Session – FREE to Members!
Wednesday, May 5th at 6 PM to 7:30 PM
Keller, Inc. on Hwy 55 in Kaukauna halfway Between CE and KK (address is N216 Hwy 55)

EWGA Membership Offers You the USGA Handicap Golfnet (GN21) System

Do you want to track the improvement in your golf game? Do you want to have a handicap to play in golf competitions like our Chapter Championship? For those who would like to establish a handicap, look no further than the EWGA website. As part of your EWGA membership, you have access to the Golfnet (GN21) System, which is a USGA recognized handicap calculation service and establishes a USGA handicap.

Take advantage of our annual Handicap Seminar!
You will learn how to use the GN21system to easily track your golf scores. You will learn how to post your scores so you can evaluate the parts of your game that need improvement. Whether you are an advanced golfer who wants to track Handicap for tournaments/competitions (like our Chapter Championship), or a new golfer who is just getting into the game – having a Handicap can help you monitor your own progress throughout the season and throughout your lifetime. Just like the pros, you can track your scoring average, putts per round, greens in regulation, and more!

Your EWGA membership includes this program.
Similar services cost $29 per year. Each member will share a laptop at this hands-on learning session. If you have any scorecards from last season you would like to post to your scoring record, please, feel free to bring them along.

To activate your GN21 account, please follow these instructions:
As soon as you receive an email with your member number, go to www.ewga.com, click on member log in, put in your email address, and use "Password1" as your initial password to set up your access. Then change your password. As soon as that is complete, click on the blue "Handicap" tool bar on the left side and you will be taken to GN21 where you can post scores.

To read more about GN21, go to our Chapter website, www.fcgb.org, and click on “Golf Handicap” on the right side of the screen.
