Steps
Confirm your platform has a documented GolfNet/Golf Canada integration (e.g., Golf Genius's dedicated integration article) rather than building a new connection from scratch
In your event/league settings, select 'GolfNet' or 'Golf Canada' as the Handicap Index Service provider
Ensure each player's roster record includes their correct GolfNet/Golf Canada number and last name — players imported from GolfNet already have this, others need manual entry
Use the platform's documented flow to retrieve handicap indexes and post round scores back to GolfNet/Golf Canada
For golfers holding both USGA and Golf Canada accounts, note the Score Centre's account-linking tools that auto-transfer posted scores between the two systems
Known gotchas
There is no general-purpose public Golf Canada API for third-party developers; integration in practice happens through vendor-specific connectors (like Golf Genius's) that already have GolfNet access arranged
Matching relies on exact GolfNet number plus last name; mismatches will silently fail to link a player's handicap
Golf Canada removed public handicap lookup from its website, so plan for authenticated/member-context lookups only, not open scraping-style access
