Pre-Registration Within GB&I players are required to pre-register their intent to submit a score in general play for handicap purposes. Such pre-registration must be made: o Before the player starts the round, and o In the manner prescribed by the club where the score is being played. Recommend making the registration process as easy as possible. The Committee should consider that scores from a regular, organized social event with other players (Swindles and roll up), is pre registered score and is to be included in the players scoring record.

What Scores Can I Use? Rounds played: • In an authorized format of play; • Over a minimum number of holes;

Minimum Number of Holes • If playing an 18 hole round and the player completes more than 9 holes, the score is added to the record. • If playing a 9 hole round all holes must be played. • If the minimum number of holes are not played the score is discarded and not included in the players record.

Hole scores may be adjusted: • By Net Double Bogey for a high hole score. Or • If all hole haven't played, recording a Net Par on the holes not played.

What do I need to do when I want to play? • For a Handicap Index to be portable across courses, it must be converted into a Course Handicap to determine the number of strokes a player receives for the golf course being played. • A Course Handicap look up table will be available at each club, or you could use an App or the club handicap software. • You simply select the tees you want to play and look up your Handicap index to ascertain your Course Handicap • If you are playing in a competition or match you will also need to know any handicap allowances that may be applied.

Calculating a Course Handicap Course Handicap Calculation Handicap Index x (Slope Rating ÷ 113) = Course Handicap Example: Player decides to play a set of tees with a Slope rating of 119 Handicap Index (Slope ÷ 113) Course Handicap x = 15.6 1.05 16.4

What Handicap Allowance Should I Be Using? • For equity to be achieved amongst two or more players, a player’s Course Handicap must be converted into a Playing Handicap. • Determined by the format of play and the applicable handicap allowances. • These will be different for each format of play, and you should always check the Terms of the Competition before you play. • Singles and fourball allowance are mandatory for GB&I.
