It is the duty and responsibility of the Handicap Committee to issue handicaps and to monitor those handicaps for our club following the guidelines of the USGA Handicap System.  The Handicap Committee shall verify that all acceptable scores are reported for handicap purposes, and that recorded scores are accurate.

It is the responsibility of each member of our club to post all scores within 48 hours of finishing a round.

League Play:  A member of the Handicap Committee will check the posted scores of the members who play in league competition on Tuesdays to compare those scores posted with the scores recorded on the scorecards.

Sunday Couples:  All Sunday couples events will be checked for posting errors.  If a member fails to post a score a penalty score will be issued.  All other errors will be corrected.

Non-league Play:  Random checks will be conducted on non-league days to confirm that members are posting all scores.  These postings will be checked against the "corrected starters sheet" on any given day. 

If the committee member finds a posting error she will correct the error and post on the bulletin board a list of members who have made errors.   If a member fails to post on a league day or Sunday couples, that member will be contacted by a committee member and will be reminded of the importance of posting all scores and will be informed of the penalty of not posting a score. 

A PENALTY SCORE WILL BE ASSESSED EACH TIME A MEMBER FAILS TO POST A SCORE ON LEAGUE DAY AND/OR SUNDAY COUPLES.  All other errors will be corrected without penalty.

What is a Penalty Score?

A penalty score is your lowest round score.  It appears like any other score on your record. It is now on the top of your last 20 posts.

Every time you post another score it moves down a step until it goes off the bottom, so after your next 20 rounds it will be gone.

You can recognize the Penalty in your list of scores as it shows with a P rather than H for home.
