Formats and Handicapping
Individual Stroke Play (both balls count):
Handicapping: Partner's Handicaps will be combined for a Team Handicap.
Example: Player A is a 10, Player B is a 5 = Team Handicap of 15
Format: Each player's 9 Hole GROSS score will be combined. That score is then subtracted by the Team Handicap for the team's score.
Example: Player A shoots 40, and Player B shoots 35. 40 + 35 = 75. 75 - 15 (team handicap) = A team score of 60
Best Ball:
Handicapping: Team handicaps will be the average of each partner's individual handicaps added together.
Example: Player A is a 10, and Player B is a 5. The team handicap is 7.5 rounded up to 8.
Format: The lowest GROSS ball will be counted on each hole. The team's 9 Hole GROSS score is then subtracted by the team's handicap producing a 9-hole NET score.
Example: Players A & B shoot 44 on the front nine. 44 - 8 (team handicap) = A team score of 36
Scramble:
Handicapping: Team handicaps will be 50% of the average of each partner's individual handicaps added together.
Example: Player A is a 10, and Player B is a 6.
Team combined hcp = 16
The team average handicap is 8
(18-hole hcp or four strokes on front 9, four strokes on back 9)
Team Handicap of 4 for 9 holes
Format: Each player on the team hits a tee shot, and then the players decide which shot they like better. The two players then play from that spot. The person whose shot was not taken picks up their ball and moves it to within one club length of the selected spot. This process repeats until the ball is holed.
Example: Using this format, Players A and B shoot 34. 34 - 4 (team handicap) = A team score of 30
