With the new World Handicap System updating handicaps daily, how far in advance will your club establish the handicap index to be used for multi-day competitions/events?
Club Event handicaps will be established 7 days before the event as the cutoff for handicaps. Handicaps will remain the same for the duration of multi-day events. Daily Member games and weekly groups will be updated to the current day of play before printing scorecards.
We plan to use handicaps 2 and 3 days prior with a random report used starting at 7:00am for any multiple day major events. For our Men’s Invitational we will use the lowest index on file over the previous 12 months and our Women’s Invitational we plan to use the index dates one week prior. For all events we plan to note on the notice to competitors what handicap index was used to compute a players tournament handicap.
We are using the 12-month low index for all participants, and depending on the tournament we are capturing those either 2-weeks before play for a large event like member guest, or 2 days before for a smaller event.
