  • Do I have to let you know that I intend to play?
  • Yes, if at all possible.  In order to make sure we will have enough starting times/simulators, we ask that you commit in advance.  Plus, it allows us to put groups together ahead of time so that people know with whom they will be playing.

  • Where does the group play?

  • During the months when we can play "real" golf, we play at the Emerald Greens Golf Club, east of Rosemount on Hwy. 55 going towards Hastings.  They have 36 holes, and we will play different 9s during the season.  For more information on the facility, you can visit their web site at www.emeraldgreensgolf.com.

    During other months, we will do other things, including going to A Lot of Green Golf to use their simulators.  This is part of the Soccer Blast complex on Burnsville Parkway, south of Hwy. 42 and west of the Burnsville Mall.  Please visit their web site at www.alotofgreengolf.com.

  • I was just added to eClubhouse and posted three scores to GHIN - where is my H.I.?

  • Your Handicap Index® is updated according to a revision schedule set by the regional golf association in your area. The Handicap Index display in the Members section is a snapshot of scores that were in your scoring record prior to that effective revision date. So, if you were added on June 10, but the last revision in your area was June 5, then no Handicap Index® will appear on eClubhouse until after the next revision.

    In addition, your club can only issue you a Handicap Index® after at least five scores have been posted, in accordance with the USGA Handicap System.

  • I just entered a score using "Post to GHIN" through my club's eClubhouse site, but I made a mistake. How do I fix it?
  • Your golf club oversees your scoring record and Handicap Index® If you make a mistake, you need to contact a representative from your club to correct the error.

  • I just entered a score using "myStats Scores", but I made a mistake. How do I fix it?

  • Any score posted using the eClubhouse feature "myStats Scores" can be edited on eClubhouse. However, if "Post Scores to GHIN" was chosen when the score was posted, the score will have to be changed in your record on the GHIN Server as well by contacting your Golf Club.

    To modify a score in eClubhouse, use the "Display/Update Rounds" option in "myStats Reports". Locate the score to be modified and chose "edit".

  • What do the Search Zip Code and Radius features do on the myGame page?

  • The "Search Zip Code" will populate the "Find Other Players", "Club News", "Upcoming Events", "My Events" and "Weather" modules with applicable public content from eClubhouse sites within a "Radius" of X mile from the center point of the Zip Code you provide. The radius default is 1.0.

    Great to use when planning a golfing vacation! Find out news and events from the area you are visiting! Connect with a golfer from the area and meet up for a round of golf!

    To change the Search Zip Code and populate your dashboard with content from another area, simply click the numerical Zip Code (located above the USGA Handicap Index module). Enter the new Zip Code and press "Submit". When you return from your trip - just change it back to your local Zip Code!

    You can change the radius (i.e. reduce or increase the range of news/events) by using the radius drop-down box and modifying the setting.
