Revised Schedule and Start Time

Gentlemen, I am posting an update to our start time and starting nine.

The Course has requested that we now start at 4:48 pm and we will begin on Back nine 4/24/25.

Don't freak out regarding the early start time . . . if you can not make the scheduled time, we will do like we always do . . . send off foursomes that are ready to go. We have enough members that are at the course early that we should not have an issue. 

Repeating the information from my previous post as it remains accurate:

A few changes this year are in the works. We are staying at 14 teams with a few changes.

UPDATED 4/13/25 Schedule posted below (still subject to change - start date is weather dependent, etc.)

Dues is $65 this year (made some adjustments to payouts, and software cost went up, secretary got a raise)

General league rules still in place . . .

• can improve your lie within 6" anywhere except hazards
• gimmes up to foursome (please keep skin game in mind if your giving a putt to player getting strokes)
• no need to play stroke and distance - if you hit OB off tee, just move up and drop in approximately the spot ball went out.
• There is a small range in between 1 and 3 . . . if you hit into this area, you can move your ball to keep from getting shelled with range balls - prefer you play it as it lies . . . but no need to get concussed.
• Course holds water often - ball can be moved out of casual water without penalty - even in bunker. Prefer that you stay in bunker if possible, but you do you.
• Play one type of ball the entire hole - Can't play the Unold method of distance ball off tee, then switch to softer ball for approach, then another for putting. C'mon man.
• Please keep your card legible and total up scores. Circle Birdies please. (Secretary gets bitchy trying to decipher your chicken scratch)

Handicap Info:

Number of scores handicap based on: 20
Minimum number of scores needed: 1

# of Scores Available	Discard Highest	Discard Lowest

Player A has 30 scores to calculate a handicap.
Only the last 20 scores are considered for handicapping.
0 high score and 0 low score will be dropped and the
remaining 20 scores used to calculate the handicap.

2. The variations for these scores are calculated...

Event #	Description	Adjusted Gross Score	Scratch par	Variation
1	Practice score	53	35.2	17.8
1	Practice score	46	34.0	12.0
1	Practice score	47	35.2	11.8
1	Practice score	50	34.0	16.0
1	Practice score	49	35.2	13.8
1	Practice score	44	34.0	10.0
1	Practice score	43	35.2	7.8
1	Practice score	44	34.0	10.0
1	Practice score	46	35.2	10.8
1	Practice score	49	34.0	15.0
1	Practice score	49	34.0	15.0
1	Practice score	50	35.2	14.8
1	Practice score	45	34.0	11.0
1	Practice score	44	35.2	8.8
1	Practice score	46	34.0	12.0
1	Practice score	45	35.2	9.8
1	Practice score	51	35.2	15.8
1	Practice score	48	34.0	14.0
1	Practice score	43	35.2	7.8
1	Practice score	45	34.0	11.0
1	Practice score	44	34.0	10.0
1	Practice score	47	35.2	11.8
1	Practice score	46	34.0	12.0
1	Practice score	45	35.2	9.8
1	Practice score	55	34.0	21.0
1	Practice score	46	35.2	10.8
1	Practice score	46	35.2	10.8
1	Practice score	43	34.0	9.0
1	Practice score	44	34.0	10.0
1	Practice score	47	35.2	11.8

The equation for calculating a variation is ...
Variation = 'Adjusted Gross Score' - 'Scratch par'

3. Use the variations to calculate handicap

Variations 'used' are added together...
7.8 + 7.8 + 8.8 + 9.8 + 10.0 + 10.0 + 10.8 + 11.0 + 11.0 + 11.8 + 12.0 + 12.0 + 13.8 + 14.0 + 14.8 + 15.0 + 15.0 + 15.8 + 16.0 + 17.8 = 245.0

Then divide by the total number used.
Pre-Handicap = 245.0 / 20 = 12.250

Player A is a regular player, so according to the setup the Handicap Percent is 80%
Handicap = 12.250 x 80% = 9.8000 (Digits after hundredth place are deleted)


Final Handicap = 9.80

When converted to whole number, handicap is rounded to 10
