Yes, you are required to post scores from foreign courses as long as they have a USGA Course and Slope Rating and you played the course while it was "in season." This one would seem to qualify on both counts. Thanks again and I hope you had a great trip. Jim Cowan, Director of Course Rating and Handicapping Vish – thank you for your comment.

If they have USGA Course and Slope Ratings, yes, you are required to post them as long as they were played "in season" (which they were). Without a USGA Course and Slope Rating, they cannot be posted. Thanks again, I hope you had a great trip! Jim Cowan, Director of Course Rating and Handicapping Carl, thank you for your comment.

Recently I've had a couple of scores that were posted twice. I played in consecutive weeks and posted at the clubhouse and after a couple of weeks neither score was posted. I then posted my scores on the internet. About another week went by and the original scores were then posted. Can anything be done to get rid of the double posted scores? I am a member of an e-club.

Unfortunately Wisconsin subscribes to a different handicap service than we do (same situation with Arizona, So Nevada, Carolinas, etc.). As a result, we do NOT have access to their ratings. You will have to hand-enter the rating values (select Manual posting of scores rather than looking up the ratings). Hopefully you have retained the scorecards. If not, the websites of the courses will likely have the ratings. Just be certain to edit the dates of the rounds to the proper values in order to retain the correct chronological order of your rounds. The USGA is working on a solution that will permit the look-up of all national ratings, even those that subscribe to different services. This solution is still some months away. Thanks again, I hope you had a nice trip to Wisconsin. Jim Cowan, Director of Course Rating and Handicapping Vish – thank you for your comment.

If the country subscribes to the USGA Course Rating System, you are required to post the scores. The fact that the courses have ratings and Slopes tells you that they are on board with the USGA System. Thanks again, I hope you had a great trip!
