MEN’S CHRISTIAN GOLF LEAGUE 2019
18. CHECKING IN AT THE PRO SHOP FOR EACH ROUND PLAYED
18. EACH MEMBER OF THE LEAGUE MUST CHECK IN WITH THE PRO SHOP STAFF PRIOR TO GOING OUT TO EITHER PLAY A PRE-NINE OR THE REGULARLY SCHEDULED LEAGUE MATCH. YOU MUST PROVIDE THE PRO SHOP WITH THE CART NUMBER YOU ARE USING FOR THE NIGHT. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE, SO EVEN IF YOU ARE LATE TO THE COURSE, YOU MUST STILL CHECK IN AT THE PRO SHOP AND LIST YOUR CART NUMBER. GOLDEN HAWK WILL HAVE THE LEAGUE ROSTER OF ALL PLAYERS AND SUBS THAT ARE LISTED IN OUR LEAGUE. ALL NEW SUBS THROUGH WEEK 2 WILL BE ADDED TO THE SUB ROSTER. AFTER WEEK 2, WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING ANY NEW SUBS.
19. AVERAGES AND HANDICAPS
19. WE WILL USE A SYSTEM KNOWN AS EQUITABLE STROKE CONTROL. THIS DOES NOT AFFECT POINTS WON OR LOST IN ANY MATCH PLAYED. THIS IS ONLY USED FOR THE COMPUTATION OF HANDICAPS ON A WEEKLY BASIS USING THE EQUITABLE STROKE SYSTEM. WE WILL USE A 90% MULTIPLIER FOR BOTH FLIGHTS TO CALCULATE WEEKLY HANDICAPS. THE PLAYERS WILL USE THEIR ENDING HANDICAP FROM LAST YEAR FOR THE FIRST THREE WEEKS. WE WILL THEN CALCULATE THE NEW HANDICAPS IN WEEK 4 WITH ALL FOUR ROUNDS INCLUDED. THEN, EACH WEEK WILL BE CALCULATED WITH THE NEW SCORES TO UPDATE THE PLAYERS HANDICAP BASED ON ALL ROUNDS PLAYED.
- RETURNING PLAYER FROM LAST YEAR WILL START OUT USING THEIR LAST YEARS FINAL HANDICAP CALCULATIONS FOR ALL ROUNDS PLAYED IN 2018.
- ALL NEW PLAYERS AND SUBS TO THE LEAGUE WITHOUT A HANDICAP FROM LAST YEAR WILL
- HAVE TO PLAY ONE ROUND (9 HOLES) TO ESTABLISH A HANDICAP WITH AN 80% MULTIPLIER.
- A 90% MULTIPLIER WILL BE USED FOR ALL ROUNDS PLAYED AFTER THE FIRST ROUND PLAYED.
A. ANY PLAYER WITH AN ESTABLISHED HANDICAP FROM 0-9 IS ALLOWED AS MANY DOUBLE BOGEYS AS HE HAS HANDICAPPED STROKES. E.G. A 3-HANDICAP GOLFER IS ALLOWED THREE (3) DOUBLE BOGEYS. A 6-HANDICAP GOLFER IS ALLOWED SIX (6) DOUBLE BOGEYS, NOTHING HIGHER. THESE WILL BE CALCULATED FROM THE HARDEST TO EASIEST HOLE HANDICAPS.
B. ANY GOLFER WITH A HANDICAP 10-18 IS ALLOWED AS MANY TRIPLE BOGIES AS HE HAS HANDICAP STROKES EXCEEDING 9. E.G. AN 11 HANDICAP GOLFER IS ALLOWED 2 TRIPLE BOGEYS, NOTHING HIGHER. THESE WILL BE CALCULATED FROM THE HARDEST TO EASIEST HOLE HANDICAPS. THIS IS KNOWN AS THE EQUITABLE STROKE CONTROL SYSTEM.
C. ALL CARDS MUST BE FILLED OUT COMPLETELY IN ORDER TO RECEIVE YOUR POINTS. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO KEEP SCORE, SEE ONE OF THE PLAYERS FROM LAST YEAR THAT DO AND THEY WILL EXPLAIN HOW TO SCORE.
D. WE HAVE ADOPTED THAT THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE STROKES WILL BE (16) PER ROUND FOR 9 HOLES. THE AMOUNT OF STROKES RECEIVED WILL BE CALCULATED ON THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE HANDICAPS OF THE TWO OPPOSING PLAYERS. THE PLAYER RECEIVING STROKES WILL GET NO MORE THAN (2) STROKES MAXIMUM ON PAR 5’S AND PAR 4’S AND ONLY (1) ON PAR 3’S.
