WORLD HANDICAP SYSTEM

Player's Handicap Index now follows the new World Handicap System.  This allow players to play on courses around the world using their handicap index and play with people from other countries using the same handicap system

POSTING YOUR SCORES
Post your scores as usual at the course or through the Internet (use My NCGA app or the NCGA.com website).  The maximum hole score for handicap purposes (for posting your score) will be limited to Net Double Bogey (Par + 2 + any handicap strokes you receive on that hole)

YOUR HANDICAP INDEX & YOUR PLAYING HANDICAP
1.     The Handicap Index (H.I.) calculation is changing.  Your number will be based off your 8 best scores out of the past 20.  Your H.I. will not be drastically different from your last number

2.     Your Handicap Index (H.I.) will be updated the day after you post a score (Daily if you play every day.  Previously, updates were 2x a month)

3.     You will have a Playing Handicap.  The Slope Rating and now the Course Rating and Par will be used to determine your Playing Handicap, allowing players to compete from different tees more easily

LOCAL RULES & RULINGS

PLAY IT FORWARD (RED)   (1/1/2022)

SSSGC Board has decided that members with a Handicap Index (H.I.) of 20.0 or more may play from the Red tees at Home events unless otherwise dictated by the event format
