How it Works:
-
The Handicap system will run from March 1st to September 31st. This is so your current handicap is not affected by playing in winter conditions.
-
Your Handicap will be will go live march 15th and then be updated on April 1st and then on the first of the month for the entire season ending with a final update on September 31st. For a total of 8 updates during the season.
-
These handicaps will allow you to play on an even playing field with disc golfers of all abilities. Having a handicap will bring a ton more fun to tag rounds.
-
After registering you will be given a Disc Golf Idaho player number which will allow you and only you to input your scores into the system.
-
You might ask how do we calculate your handicap. Course par (63) - players average score (last 20 rounds)X .8 = your handicap index. Which will be a positive number if you average under par, and a negative number if you average over par. This is very similar to the USGA system. So if player A handicap is 5.45 and player B handicap is - 2.65 then player A needs to give player B 8.0 strokes per round.
-
Scores outside of a 10 stroke variance from your current handicap will not be scored. (no giving up on rounds)
Cost:
20.00 dollars for the whole season March-September less than 3.00 an update.
Disc Golf Idaho needs a minimum of 25 players signed up by March 1st to go live if 25 players are not reached by then money will be refunded.
