GHIN By the Numbers: 2020 Score Posting Season

December 13, 2020

JAMESVILLE, N.Y. - Another season has passed in upstate New York, and 2020 was a year unlike any other due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fortunately for the state golf community, many golf courses re-opened after a short lockdown with new social distancing policies and limited operations, and golfers surged to their local courses in record numbers.

The posting season at NYSGA clubs began on April 15 and ended October 31. It was the first golf season under the new World Handicap System, along with a new-and-improved GHIN Mobile App that upgraded the mobile posting experience with the introduction of stat tracking and a new look.

Here are some of the top numbers from the 2020 New York State Golf Association active score posting season:
