HANDICAP COMMITTEE
Peer review is normally conducted by someone playing in the same group during a round, or by someone who has knowledge of a player’s demonstrated ability and can reasonably verify or challenge the player’s Handicap Index. To facilitate the process of peer review, scores must be posted as soon as possible after completion of the round. Challenges and disputes should be raised with the player and/or reported to the Handicap Committee of the golf club where the player is a member for consideration. (Rule 4.4, Rules of Handicapping) We recommend that players review, weekly, their own Peer Review Report.
For those of you playing in the Desert Classic and Hohokam, note that rounds are postable. Participants should check their Peer Review Report after play is completed. You will see that these rounds are listed and the report will reflect whether scores were posted. Here are links to Peer Review Report instructions: via cell phone and via website. PER THE USGA: Peer review is the process by which either a player’s score or Handicap Index can be confirmed or challenged. While the Handicap Index calculation has built in safeguards to protect against handicap manipulation, the human element is equally important to ensure fair play.
