ORPS GOLF HANDICAP CHANGES Golf handicapping is a fairly deep topic. You can read all about it at www.usga.com . For ORPS purposes we are simply concerned with how we average out your scores. The USGA uses the best 10 out of your last 20. For reasons unknown, our system has been using the best 9 out of the last 10, which is far less forgiving. So, by the time you read this we’ll be using the USGA standard of the best 10 out of your last 20. What will be the effect? A few golfers won’t change, but most will decrease from one to three strokes. For instance, a 15 handicap could become a 14; a 22 could become a 19. No handicap increases. Also, the hand- icap scores should become more stable. You should notice the difference in early December when we post new handicaps as of November 30. The Golf Committee also wants to remind and urge players to post their scores, whether they are good, bad or ugly. We balance the scrambles teams and decide tournament winners based on handicaps. To keep our games as fair as possible, we need accurate handicap scores from all those who play in these events. We are now marking the tags of those who do not post their scores . If you want to play in the organized events and you are not posting scores, we need to talk.
