Diamond Woods Men's Club Up-To-Date Handicapping Index & Guidelines
YOUR HANDICAP
Golf is one of the only sports in history where the individual member of the game keeps his own score. This has brought honesty, integrity, and individuality to the greatest game ever played.
With the individual score keeping come challenges and hurdles that must be overcome to promote fairness and equality to all players. This is the heart of the "Handicap System" promoted by the OGA, and further promoted by the U.S.G.A, governing the rules of Golf.
All Diamond Woods Men's Club members are asked to post all their scores as soon as possible after the rounds are over. Please post honestly and with integrity, as this will promote fair play and an equal chance for all to win events.
If you want to use the Handicap Calculator supplied by the OGA when the Handicap revision is updated every two weeks BUT your email will not view as a web page just click on the to "view as a web page" at the top of the screen and a web page with your Handicap card will be displayed.
Click on the Handicap card and a history of your postings will be displayed. On the lower left hand side is the Handicap Calculator. Click on the Calculator and your Handicap index number will be on the top line and all you have to do is enter the slope of the Tee boxes you want and it will tell you the number of strokes you get on that set of tees.
Diamond Woods numbers are Blue 135, White 126.
See you on the Course - Billy Wilson
As like last seasons events we will be playing all games with the two tee box rule in effect. All seniors 60 years and older are eligible to play from the white tees or blue tees. For those choosing to play from the white tee box you must comply with the OGA rule and adjust your handicap accordingly. If you are not familiar with how this is done contact a handicap committee member.
Following will be links on the OGA site and handicapping in the rules of golf.
Any handicapping questions contact Larry Webber at 541-998-9707. Thank You,
