Handicapping System

In order to make this a friendly and competitive event as well as to protect golfers who play in our tournaments, we will be moving towards only accepting official handicaps for our tournaments:
- Official
  - United States Golf Association (USGA)
  - $49.99/year through Carolinas Golf Association
  - For any golfers who would like to obtain an official handicap through the USGA prior to playing in our events, please contact us

During event registration, you will be asked to list your handicap index via the registration form
Handicaps will be required the Wednesday prior to our events and will be updated at that time to the most recent index. If you do not provide a handicap by then or you do not have one, you will be entered in as scratch (0.0 index)
Handicaps will be reviewed throughout the season to identify any scoring inconsistencies. Should you routinely shoot under your handicap, a “Tour Index” will be assigned.

“Career Rounds” will be defined as a round that is outside of your normal handicap.
We understand every golfer can have a “career round” and will give the golfer the benefit of the doubt should they be leading our events. To protect the field, we will validate your handicap and check that you have been posting scores routinely prior to the event. If anything is out of the ordinary, we will address with you and you may be issued a “Tour Index”

Handicaps will be weighted utilizing the table below to determine your playing handicap prior to our tournaments. Handicaps will then be adjusted accordingly with the course handicap.

+0.0 - 5.0 = 100 % Handicap Used

5.1 - 10.0 = 95 % Handicap Used

10.1 - 15.0 = 90% Handicap Used

15.1 - 20.0 = 85% Handicap Used

20.1 - 54.0 = 80% Handicap Used
