WHS-Infographic-1

 

World Handicap System (WHS)

The United States Golf Association (USGA), which authorizes the AGA to use the World Handicap System™, has established the Handicap System Licensing Program. The USGA Handicap System Licensing Program for Clubs began January 1, 2005 and is a requirement for all clubs in the United States wishing to utilize the USGA Handicap System. AZ GOLF maintains all licensing agreements on file for inspection by the USGA when requested. 

Clubs have access to more than three million golfers' information to verify Handicap Indexes for club member-guest and invitational events.

Handicap Software

The WHS  provides the ability for golfers to post their score at the course played, view their trend Handicap, as well as their current record of scores.

The USGA Admin Portal allows the Handicap Chair to perform file maintenance for members (add new members, score corrections, post scores, run reports, etc.) by logging in from any computer that has access to the internet.

Club Billing Services

Get the latest technology to assist in managing your club.

The club billing and management portal is completely automated and gives clubs access to club activity 24/7. This will dramatically reduce the workload of your membership chair and treasurer. Clubs can view their current roster, add or remove golfers, make online payments, and review online transactions of their members. They can view current and past billing history as well as unbilled activity.

Online Join & Renew

Let AZ GOLF take care of collecting your member dues. Your members, or potential members, can join or renew anytime, anywhere through AZ GOLF’s online join and renew portal. The tools provide complete flexibility for your club and allows you to set your own membership options, including membership types, eligibility, pricing, promotions, discounts, and add-ons. We can even set it up so your members can automatically renew each year.

Golf Genius TM Club

We are excited to continue our relationship with Golf Genius and pleased to announce that we plan to subsidize the full cost of Golf Genius TM Club for member clubs electing to use that version of the software, in 2024 and for the foreseeable future. While it comes with a higher financial burden for the Arizona Golf Association in future years, we understand the value of this software as a club and member benefit and have made necessary adjustments to continue our support.

Member clubs have the option to upgrade to Golf Genius TM Club Premium on their own and also take advantage of additional Golf Genius products to better serve their membership. For more information on the Golf Genius suite of products, please visit their website HERE.

If you would like to speak with us directly about the Golf Genius offerings available to you, please contact Eric Hickenlooper at your convenience.

But Wait...There's More!

CLUB DELEGATE & REPRESENTATIVE PROGRAM

The AZ GOLF Club Delegate/Representative Program has an important role as a communicator and supporter of AZ GOLF. Their involvement helps to promote the game of golf to members of their home club. Delegates/Representatives receive monthly newsletters on the activities to help ensure Member Clubs are aware of, and understand, the full benefits of AZ GOLF membership services. 

CLUB EDUCATION SEMINARS

Education seminars are designed to help clubs improve their efficiency in many facets of their operations and share ideas with other clubs. They are held each year in different locations throughout Arizona. These seminars feature topics like the World Handicap System, Rules of Golf, Rules of Amateur Status, Delegate Representative Workshops, and Town Halls.

CLUB DIRECTORY

AZ GOLF member clubs are listed in the online Club Directory, making it easy for your members and your potential members to find you. It is a valuable resource used by AZ GOLF members throughout the year. The listing includes the club's name, address, telephone number, and website.

CLUB VISITS

The Club Visit Program provides an opportunity for club officials to meet with AZ GOLF staff to discuss the various programs offered by the association and the role AZ GOLF plays in serving the golf community. The visits occur at the local club and allow issues to be proactively addressed, while providing a forum for member clubs to give feedback to AZ GOLF.

RULES OF GOLF SUPPORT

Knowledgeable AZ GOLF staff members are in the office and can help answer those tricky questions on the Rules of Golf. In addition, a member of the AZ GOLF Championships Department or an Expert Volunteer will be happy to provide a Rules of Golf workshop for your members.

 

Club Officers

Each member club is required to appoint a Handicap Chair and a Delegate/Representative to represent its club and its members’ interests to AZ GOLF. If the club installs other officers, we would love to know who they are as well. Please submit a Club Officer Form each year.

Handicap Chairs administer the Rules of Handicapping, ensuring an equitable experience for the club's members. Delegates/Representatives are charged with being the communications link between AZ GOLF and their constituents, club and/or course. 

 

Online Join & Renew

The quick and easy way for your members to join your club.

EASY

Do you want to make it quick and easy for your members to pay their dues?

COLLECTIONS

Do you want AZ GOLF to take care of the collections for you?

online payment

 

If the answer to these questions is “yes,” then we have a solution!

 

Many AZ GOLF clubs are taking advantage of the Online Join & Renew Program, an Association benefit which allows club members to pay for their memberships online. It is quick and easy for the member to do, and it makes your job easier.

Not only does the member update their own profile information so you don’t have to, they can pay their dues through our site, which means we cover all credit card charges!

Here’s how it works:

  • You can have AZ GOLF collect just Association dues or collect Association dues plus any additional club fees that you have. If you want to add-on optional fees, like a President’s Cup or Hole-in-One Club, it is not a problem. We can do that too!

  • You receive instant notification when members pay.

  • If we collect money on your club's behalf, we will process payment via ACH direct deposit to your club's bank account by the 10th of the following month.

  • You have the option to require approval for new members.

  • You have the option to create a pricing tier with multiple levels of club membership (league play, handicap only, etc).

  • Use your club description and eligibility requirements to both draw more qualified people to your club and keep those who don’t qualify from applying.

  • If members belong to more than one club and pay for multiple full-year memberships online, their multi-member discount, on the additional membership(s), is automatically deducted at checkout.

It’s just that easy!

 

We realize that some of your members may want to continue to pay you directly – NO PROBLEM – you can go online and pay in a batch by credit card or e-check for those members.

With the AZ GOLF's billing management system, it’s easy for you to see who has paid and who has not. You can even set the program to automatically inactivate those that haven’t paid by the end of the year.

It is customizable and completely up to you!
