How do I keep my handicap active?

To keep your handicap active you must submit three qualifying scores each year. A qualifying score is classed as an 18 hole competition or 9 hole competition. Failing to submit three qualifying competitions will result in your handicap becoming non-competitive (inactive). You can also keep your handicap active by submitting Supplementary Scores.
