What is the Connecticut Golf Society?
How to join?
The Connecticut Golf Society, Inc. (CGS),
started in 2001, has been assisting golf clubs to issue a golf handicap
index to their members. Our member
clubs to date are certified and licensed to issue handicaps (Definition
of a Golf Club). To become a
member of the CGS a golf club must be licensed by the USGA® to utilize the USGA Handicap System™.
Beginning in 2006 the CGS will add five Type 3 golf clubs to
allow individual golfers to join a club in their geographical area and
receive a USGA Handicap Index. A tournament schedule for all CGS members
will be available soon.
