Recent posts on the internet have been examining the average handicap indexes of golfer throughout the United States. There are many different systems out there for you too choose. The predominate system  is the USGA System used by most golf course memberships and GRINT which is an independent system for golfers who do are most likely not affiliated with a country club. Both systems are valid but the major question comes to the fact that who will recognize what when competing. There is also a question of how valid is the INDEX you get from each.

Personally, I try the best I can to keep my INDEX up to date as I can get by honestly reporting every round I play. Do I think its valid. Well, if I played more competitive golf I would be much more concerned. Does my 10.9 (Current as of 7/1/2021) match my game? Probably as I do very little practicing and am a poor putter (But I am working on it). I have friends which have numbers on both scales and there are more that beat me than I would like to admit as they also have a higher index.

If you have the ability to join a club somewhere which adheres to the USGA GHIN system you will probably get fewer questions when traveling. The better part is to find a group of players post those scores on a regular basis. It can be as often as daily but should be at least once a month to keep those number even with your ability.
