HANDICAP

  • The handicap you registered the MGT with is used as a baseline for the entirety of the season. Once an MGT round is logged a separate internal MGT hcp will begin to trend. The blended formula below is then used moving forward:

    • USGA/provider hcp + 80% MGT hcp / 2 = Internal MGT hcp

      • Ex. WSGA Hcp 7, MGT Hcp 10 (80%)

      • 7 + 8 = 15 / 2 = 7.5

  • There is a 2pt max index cap - (Ex.) if you came in as a 7, your max index cap is a 9 (not to be confused with playing handicap)

  • Handicaps are revised & finalized on the start date of each event

  • A handicap adjustment may be issued by the MGT committee at any time

FLIGHTS

  • Handicap Flights:

    • A flight - 0-5

    • B flight - 5.1-10

    • C flight - 10.1-14

    • D flight - 14.1-18

    • E flight - 18+

    • Members remain in said flight for the duration of the regular season
