NORTON, Massachusetts – As the calendar flips to 2022, it is time for golfers to start thinking about the upcoming season. Part of that process is ensuring your Mass Golf Membership (and official USGA/GHIN Handicap Index) is set before the active season in Massachusetts begins on April 1. As a reminder, to hold an official USGA/GHIN Handicap Index, you must be a Mass Golf Member.
For some, that might mean renewing membership at your club, while for others, it may be time to renew your Mass Golf Members Now! Membership via Mass Golf’s new online portal. Below are suggestions for each category of player.

If your club is not online through Members Now! connect with your course/club directly.
