All golfers in the GHIN system will be required to update their profile.
GHIN Digital Profile
To improve data security and golfer privacy, golfers will need to create a digital profile to access the GHIN Mobile App and ghin.com beginning in January 2021.
In order to create a digital profile, golfers will need to have an email address in their golfer profile. To provide an email address, please contact your Club Admin or local golf association.
Below is some additional information and frequently asked questions:

Q: In January 2021, how will I access the GHIN mobile app and ghin.com with my digital profile?

Q: I share an email address with my spouse/partner, can we log in with the same email address?

A:Yes, your club can assign you as a guardian for a child. When we launch the digital profile feature in January 2021, you will log in and see a “Change Golfer” link on the GHIN Mobile App and ghin.com. Here, you can change who you are viewing/posting scores for.
