Noob enquiry about maintenance of Handicap Index

Hi All! I would like to ask if I never submit any scorecards for 6 months to SGA or my golf maintenance center, will my Handicap Index be revoked & I would have to retake my Handicap test again? =) Sorry for the noob questions!

Thank you!

The simple answer is NO. Based on USGA handicap policy, there is no penalty for golfers who do not submit scores for a duration of more than 6 months. You can check SGA club's by-laws and your own club's by-laws (under section 7.1) to verify.
