In January 2024, the CDGA transitioned away from what was known as the CDGA# to what is known as the Central Computation (WHS)#, which Golf Genius Tournament Management refers to as a GHIN.
In this article, we will share relevant links on how to upload Central Computations #'s to player profiles and how to retrieve and post scores.
Adding a Central Computation (WHS) #'s to Player Profiles:
This can be accomplished in the following ways:
Upload from a Spreadsheet
Manually Enter Central Computation ID Numbers
GHIN Lookup from Player Profile
Upload from a Spreadsheet:
When compiling a spreadsheet to load a new master roster, add a column with the Central Computation ID Numbers. Title that column "GHIN Id" for ease of matching when uploading the spreadsheet.
When updating your existing master roster, add your player's Central Computation ID Numbers to the column titled "GHIN Id."
After uploading the spreadsheet, you will be taken to a column-matching page where you can match columns from the spreadsheet to the appropriate fields in the master roster. Note: Make sure to match the column with player Central Computation ID Numbers in the spreadsheet with the "GHIN ID" attribute in the master roster.
If you are uploading players to an event via spreadsheet, we suggest using the same process when loading your event roster.
Manually Enter Central Computation ID Numbers:
You can manually enter the central computation ID Number into the following roster:
Master Roster: To add Central Computation ID numbers individually for a player on your master roster, go to Customer Center > Master Roster > View Master Roster. Select the player and enter the Central Computation ID number in the field titled "GHIN ID" (as shown below).
Event/League Roster: To add a Central Computation ID number for a player within an event/league, go to Golfers > Event/League Roster, select the player, and enter the Central Computation ID number in the field titled "GHIN ID" (as shown below).
Central Computation ID/GHIN # Lookup from Player Profile:
You can manually lookup individual player Central Computation ID/GHIN # in the Master Roster Profile and Event/League Roster Profile by following these directions:
Go to the Roster:
Master Roster: From the Customer Center, go to Master Roster > View Master Roster.
Event/League Roster: Within the event/league, go to Golfers > Event/League Roster.
Find and select the player you wish to look up the Handicap ID #.
Select the "H.I. Summary" tab.
Click "GHIN Lookup."
Enter the following and click "Search" (as shown below):
State: Set the state to Illinois.
Last Name (Required): This field may be filled in automatically. If not, you must enter the player's last name.
First Name (Optional): This may be filled in automatically. If you are having trouble finding the name, it may help to remove it if you have no results or add one if you have too many results.
Click "Select" to import the player Handicap Index and GHIN #.
Click "Save" to apply the changes to the player's profile.
Updating Handicap Indexes and Posting Scores:
Once the player's Handicap Index Service Provider ID has been entered, users can update Handicap Indexes from the CDGA/GHIN and post scores to CDGA/GHIN.
