Handicaps for 2015





Member handicaps are maintained by VSGA
Serious new rules being continued this year
Flight results prove the handicaps are working
Must pay by 3/31 in order to maintain
All questions about handicaps should be
directed to: MIKE FOSTER
 [email protected]
 703-929-6487
Handicaps continued
 All members have a USGA Handicap number
 Scores can be entered at the course computer
or by visiting www.vsga.net and entering you
name and GHIN number
 We will publish the entire Society handicap list
before our first event of 2014
 Mobile app
 The handicap season in Virginia is 12 months
Handicaps continued
 Players are responsible for entering their
own scores
 Enter an adjusted score for ALL rounds
played (Including matchplay)
 Failure to enter scores may results in reduction
of handicap by the committee
 Failure to maintain an accurate handicap is
unfair to the player and the entire Society
 No one can enter matchplay/strokeplay
without valid, demonstrable handicap
 Really, really need to be more proactive this
year…post, post, post
