The Golf Association of Michigan (GAM) recently answered some of the questions surrounding handicapping issues. By GAM.org Q: I just posted my score, when will my Handicap Index update? Handicap Indexes update overnight. Any scores posted by midnight EST will be used in your new calculation in the morning of the following day. Q: Can I post scores from the past? Yes, it is best to post scores the day you play, however past scores can be posted. This is very handy for people just starting a Handicap Index, who want to establish one quickly.
