Does the USGA Handicap System recognize a Trend Handicap?

A. A Trend Handicap is an unofficial estimate of a handicap and is not recognized as a Handicap Index because it represents un-reviewed scores by the Handicap Committee. A Trend Handicap could be missing scores that have failed to be re-routed to the players home club before the next handicap revision, including any possible reductions or modifications to handicaps. A Trend Handicap is not recommended for formal competition. Please visit Section 2 of the USGA Handicap System manual for further reference.
