Handicap Posting Reminder
/There have been a few questions and misinterpretations regarding the posting of handicaps. Below are the basic guidelines in order to follow the board's policies regarding posting of scores.
1 - The handicap chair posts ALL Thursday Men's Club rounds. Any member playing on Thursday must turn in their card to the pro-shop and the handicap chair will adjust and post the score as a HOME score. In most cases these scores will be posted prior to the next handicap revision.
2 - All other days, members must post scores. All rounds are to be posted except when you play by yourself. You must have a witness playing in order to count and post the score. All other rounds must be posted.
3 - All scorecards are to be placed in the pro-shop computer room scorecard box. The handicap chair does a random check of cards to be sure scores are being posted and adjusted correctly.
4 - All scorecards must have all players first and last name, the playing date, and both 9 & 18 hole totals. If there is an adjustment, that should also be neatly written on the card.
5 - All adjustments follow the chart below. These are for posting scores only. All tournament and daily play should show the actual score. Adjustments are only made when posting scores.
- Plus handicap players must adjust to a score no higher than a bogey on any given hole.
- 0-9 handicap players must adjust to a score no higher than a double bogey on any given hole.
- 10-19 handicap players can only post a score of 7 or lower on any given hole.
- 20-29 handicap players can only post a score of 8 or lower on any given hole.
- 30-39 handicap players can only post a score of 9 or lower on any given hole.
- 40-49 handicap players can only post a score of 10 or lower on any given hole.
- 50-59 handicap players can only post a score of 11 or lower on any given hole.
