How Do I Delete or Correct a Score on My Handicap Index?

To fix a duplicate or incorrect score in GHIN, you have two options depending on when you noticed the mistake: delete it yourself on the same day it was posted, or contact your Handicap Chair for corrections after that.

Option 1: Delete the Score Yourself (Same Day Only)

If you notice the mistake on the same day the score was posted, you can delete it yourself in the GHIN mobile app or on GHIN.com.

Steps:

  • Immediately after posting, click “Made a scoring mistake? Delete round” and follow the prompts
    OR
  • Go to Stats > Score History > Recent & Revision Scores
  • Find the score and click the “>” arrow
  • Select “Made a scoring mistake? Delete round” and follow the prompts

Important:

  • You can only delete scores before midnight on the day they were posted (midnight is local time)
  • GHIN updates overnight, so changes may not appear immediately

 

Option 2: Contact Your Handicap Chair (After Same Day or Special Cases)

If the score was posted on a previous day or cannot be edited, you will need to contact your club's Handicap Chair.

This includes:

  • Duplicate scores
  • Incorrect scores (wrong date, tees, or score)
  • Scores posted through third-party systems such as Golf Genius, The Grint, club admin portals, or tournament softwares

 

You may reach your Handicap Chair by email, phone, or through your club's member portal — check your club's website or the Club Directory for their contact details.

What to include in your request:

 

  • Date of the score
  • Course name
  • Score details (if known)
  • Your name and/or GHIN number

Example:

  • “Please delete the score of 68 at Wigwam Red Course posted on 6/8/25.”
  • “I accidentally posted a duplicate score at Papago Golf Course. Please remove one.”

If you’re unsure whom to contact, visit our Club Directory and use the “Fix a Score” option to find your Handicap Chair.

 

After the Correction

  • GHIN updates nightly, so changes may take time to appear
  • If you don’t see the update after 24 hours, follow up with your Handicap Chair or club support team

Correcting a score promptly ensures your Handicap Index® stays accurate, fair, and up to date.
