How handicaps are calculated
9-hole handicaps are calculated using the average of your lowest 4 scores out of your last 7. This is shortened from USGA due to our shorter season and to better represent how you are currently playing. Due to playing the Cove this year (a par 35), all scores will be displayed as strokes over (or under) Par.
An example would be last 7 scores of +5, +13, +6, +2, +11, +10, +9. The lowest 4 would be +5, +6, +2, & +9 and that averages to +5.5 for Mr. Creasman. I will need at least four 9-hole scores to establish a handicap for new players (or players who didn't play enough weeks last season). Please get those to me before playing in the league or you will play as a zero handicap.
Please note, actual 9-hole handicaps are listed above but will be capped at 18.0 in league play due to the double-par max rule. Women's handicaps will be adjusted to reflect the different PARs on the front and back 9 at Tega Cay (Pines is 38 and Grande View is 37).
Above are the last 7 scores (to PAR) from each player from oldest to newest (left to right). The weeks played, averages, & season low is just for the regular season though.
