Join Using Your Existing GHIN Number
Already have a GHIN Number from another club or course? Want to use it as a new member of the NOGA Club? We can do that! Simply tell us your GHIN Number during or after submitting membership payment and we’ll activate your account using that GHIN same number. That way, all of your past-posted scores will stay with you. (Note that we always look to see if you already exist in the GHIN system, then renew using the existing number if you do.)
UPDATE YOUR GHIN DIGITAL PROFILE AFTER ACTIVATION
Active GHIN users, including NOGA members, are required to update their digital profile to continue to use the GHIN mobile app and GHIN.com for score posting. It is a simple process which includes adding or verifying a unique email address and password associated with the GHIN record. Users of the GHIN mobile app will be prompted to update to the newest version of the app, allowing them to manage their profile from their smartphone. For assistance with setting up your digital profile, please email ghinsupport@noga.org.
