In order for a player to qualify for Division I, you must have an established USGA handicap upon entry into the tournament. You will be required to provide your USGA GHIN number when you register. To get your free GHIN number, follow the instructions below. Handicaps posted as of July 4 for the Girls and July 11 for the Boys are what will be used in the selection of up to the top 100 players in the field eligible for the championship divisions. Maximum handicap for the Girls Division I is 18. 

**Please note: A GHIN number and a GHIN handicap index are two different numbers. You must enter scores into your GHIN account to receive a verifiable GHIN handicap index. If you have a GHIN number but no scores entered, you will not have a verifiable handicap index. Without a verifiable handicap index, you will forfeit your spot in Division I and we will place you in Division II.
