Determining handicap factors for New
Members: Assessment
of initial handicap factors for new members is as follows: If a new
member has a current official handicap factor from a recognized club, BGAT
will recognize this as his official handicap factor. If a new
member does not have a current official handicap factor, then the Handicap
Committee will assess his initial factor based on the recommendation of his
sponsor. He will then be placed into
one of two categories: a.
Good (19 - 32) with maximum score of 9 per hole. b.
Better (1 - 18) with maximum score of 7 per hole. Equitable stroke
control (ESC) will be used to calculate the adjusted score for the next
five games. After the fifth game, your official club handicap factor will be
declared. This will be based on the best differential from the previous
five games. |
