Handicap Posting Season Starts April 1 Reminder that our handicap posting season begins April 1. All rounds played should be posted as handicap rounds. A few notes on handicaps: Any member who wishes to have a handicap should contact the Golf Shop. A total of 54 holes (three 18-hole or six 9-hole rounds) must be played to establish an official Handicap Index. Scores from stroke play, match play, and team formats where you play your own ball are acceptable, as long as you play by the Rules of Golf and another person is present during the round. A player should submit their score as soon as possible on the day of play, after completion of their round, and before midnight. In the event that you fail to post on the same day, the score should still be posted. Rounds played alone should not be posted for handicap purposes. Handicaps update daily. See the GHIN app for your current handicap. This will vary based on the tee played. There is no longer an adjustment for players playing from different tees. Your maximum score on any hole for posting is net double bogey. That is, double bogey, plus any handicap strokes you receive on that hole. Example: A player with a Course Handicap of 10 receives one stroke on holes allocated 1 through 10. On a par 4 with a stroke index of 5, their net double bogey max is 7 (double bogey +1).

Call the Golf Shop to schedule a complementary fitting with lead club fitter Ryan Rucinski (rrucinski@wilmingtoncc.com), or any member of the Professional Staff. We are also conducting several upcoming Spring Fitting Days. In addition to complementary club fitting, we sell all golf clubs for MAP price, the lowest available price on new golf clubs.

When starting a hole but not finishing it, record the score most likely to be made. For an 18-hole score to be acceptable for handicap purposes, a minimum of 10 holes must be played. When a player plays 10-17 holes, a Score Differential is created based on the holes played to produce an 18-hole Score Differential. When a player plays between 10-17 holes, they are required to post their scores hole- by-hole so the appropriate Score Differential can be calculated from the holes that were played to combine with the expected score for the holes not played. For a 9-hole score to be acceptable for handicap purposes, all 9 holes must be played. 9-hole scores will be converted to an 18- hole Score Differential for immediate use. If a player has not played at least 9 holes, the score is not acceptable for handicap purposes.
