How Long for GHIN to Update? Options

[arkstorm]

Does anyone know how often your club is supposed to upload your GHIN information?

I ask this because none of the scores I have entered since 5/20 are on the GHIN website yet.

Do the clubs only update monthly? And if so, why?

Should be every other week

Twice a month. Just the way it is. Lots of players only play once or twice a week therefore there really is no reason to update any more often than that. Your club sends in the update and then GHIN updates.

The schedule for handicap revisions depends on your location. The link to the schedule:

Looks like you may be at a Golf Assoc of Philadelphia club:

Check the revision schedule for you area
Generally have seen most clubs transmit\receive once a week on Monday (some every 2 weeks)

If your club allows, internet post. Some clubs dont allow it <-- not sure how valid that really is

I don't think he's asking about the revision schedule... he's saying his scores aren't getting uploaded. Aren't they different? I enter mine via eGolfer but when I entered them at the club, they were there the next day.

My handicap didn't get re-calculated until two weeks later, but the scores were there the whole time.

I would check with someone at your club. It sounds like there is a problem on their end.

May or may not be a problem.

As long as the scores are posted before the next revision, there is no problem.
It is certainly a possibility that the club has a specific time set aside to upload
ALL the scores it has in waiting, while giving the USGA computers time to
calculate for the update (I'm sure the club could get this info from the USGA).
It may just make more sense to the club to upload the scores as a batch, rather
than spending the time throughout the week.

My club posts scores at the convenience of the handicap chairman.
He has never failed to get them posted before the next revision...
very important with at least two net events per week.
This (golf) is not his full time job, and he does a great job for us.

If club scores are being posted that MISS the update, yes you have a
problem. And it needs to be rectified.
