If it’s March in the Northwest, it is time to start posting scores

If it’s March, it must be time to start posting those scores when you play a round of golf in the Pacific Northwest.

The inactive score posting season began in November and ran through March 1 in the Pacific Northwest. The NW is one of 41 golf associations in the U.S. that has an inactive posting season during the winter months. This is because of the general change in course conditions in our region that would adversely affect course ratings.

If you played golf during the Inactive Score Posting Season in an area where scores are still being accepted for handicap purposes, you were supposed to post those scores as soon as practicable. On the other hand, if you played a round of golf in one of those 41 areas where there was an inactive posting period you did not need to post those scores.

That time is over. All scores in all of those areas including the Pacific Northwest will now require you to post your scores.

So whenever and wherever you play a round of golf those scores must be posted after March 1 – and the end of the inactive posting season.
