Handicaps

1. All players will use their GHIN handicaps for all FSGA events. Click here to see current handicap report.
2. New members that do not have established handicaps will have to play sufficient rounds (5 posted scores) for a computer-generated handicap. Maximum assigned course handicap will be 39.6.
3. Each time a member plays a FSGA round of golf he must deposit his scorecard in the FSGA mailbox, inside the door of the Men's Locker Room.   The scorecard must be signed and attested by another FSGA member and indicate whether the player played from the White or Green tees.
4. To further support the key Handicap System premise of peer review, scores made while playing alone will no longer be acceptable for handicap purposes.  This underscores the importance of providing full and accurate information regarding a player's potential scoring ability, and the ability of other players to form a reasonable basis for supporting or disputing a posted score. (Section 5-1: Acceptability of Scores)
5. All scores posted are subject to the USGA Net Double Bogey stroke limit. This procedure reduces high hole scores for handicap purposes. The Net Double Bogey score is used when a player's actual score exceeds the Net Double Bogey calculation.
6. During the season handicaps will be updated by the FSGA and posted on the FSGA website on a weekly basis.
7. A player may request a review of his handicap if he has become physically disabled or incapacitated causing his scores to be considerably higher than last season. The Handicap Chairman will handle these requests.
