Handicapping

The handicap committee asks that you post all rounds upon completion:

  • This includes individual scores made in team competition for both Match and Stroke play.
  • The Golf and Greens Committee will be comparing rounds played vs. rounds posted to ensure handicap accuracy for tournament play.
  • Post your score when you play at least 10 holes. Post hole-by-hole and the app will determine remaining score.
  • Exception: Rounds played by yourself cannot be posted per the USGA.

Methods of Posting:
