A method for the maintenance of a golf handicap index by providing a card (18) containing golfer information. The golfer information includes posted scores which are used in the calculation of a handicap index. A local processing unit (10), LPU, computes the handicap index based on USGA established guidelines. Information is exchanged between the card (18) and LPU (10) at the time the golfer posts a score.
