Transition to Handicap ID
As of Monday, Jan. 8, the CDGA has transitioned from using a CDGA number as a member`s unique identifier to using a Handicap ID. This will now be the number used for My CDGA Caddie/My CDGA app log in, peer review, event registration, etc.
To see your Handicap ID, you can either log in to the website/app using your email address and password, or check your email for message(s) recently sent containing this number.
