How does the Scoring work?
|
|
|
Example: Jack has a 10.4 Handicap Index
|
|
|
|
|
1.
|
The Tournament Director calculates a tournament handicap of 11 for Jack based on the golf courses’ slope and rating.
|
|
|
2.
|
Jack will play in the “Birdie” flight (handicaps ranging from 7.0 – 12.9).
|
|
|
3.
|
All flights are NET scoring, so if Jack shoots an 85, his NET score is 74.
|
|
|
4.
|
If Jack’s 74 is in the Top 20% of scores in the Birdie flight, he will win his share of the Birdie Flight purse.
|
|
|
5.
|
Ties for first place with be decided by a playoff determined by the Tournament Director.
|
|
|
6.
|
Other ties will share the purse. So if two players tie for third, they split the combined 3rd and 4th place purse
|
|
|
Where does the purse come from?
|
|
|
-$400 from each players’ entry fee goes towards the purse for one-day events.
|
|
Will sandbaggers get paid?
|
|
|
-No. Sandbaggers will be eliminated and their purse will be given to the other players in the event. See the Honors Contract and Member Handbook for the full anti-sandbagging system including Director of Golf handicap reviews, private investigator, Rules and Fairness Committee, and polygraph testing.
