Semimonthly handicap updates
 In recent months the USGA has announced that, effective 2012, all handicaps in the entire country will be revised on the 1st and 15th of every month.
Rather than waiting for the inevitable, the NCGA has decided to embrace this schedule immediately. Beginning next month, NCGA handicaps will be revised on the 1st and 15th of each month . . . 24 revisions in all for 2010. This new revision schedule will offer more timely handicap updates during our peak seasons and to those who post a lot of scores.
