New Rules for 2026


    1. Players 70 and older can play the forward/red tees.

    2. Substitutions:   This year if you're using a substitute, they MUST have
       either a GHIN handicap, or have a league handicap in our system within
       the last three years.  The last three years of subs are listed on the
       website.  This will allow us to know the outcome of matches on the day
       played.

       If your sub does not have one of these two handicaps, they will play off
       scratch (no strokes) for the first match, then they will have a league
       handicap established for any ensuing weeks.

       If you're using a GHIN handicap, you'll have to calculate the player's
       front nine handicap using the USGA Course Handicap Calculator.  Simply
       put in 1/2th the players index and the playing information for the
       tees that will be played.

             White:   34.4/116   Par 36
             Blue:    35.5/122   Par 36
             Red:     32.5/103   Par 36

       Example. For a player with a 9.6 handicap playing the blue tees, you
       would use 4.8 for the index, 35.5/122 for rating and slope and 36 for par.

       Best solution is to use the Handicap Calculator at this site:
       (google on: usga handicap calculator)

                https://www.usga.org/course-handicap-calculator.html

       If you want to do it the hard way, then run the numbers through this formula:

                HCP = ((Index * Slope) / 113) + (Rating - Par)

       Mark the scorecard where the strokes are allocated and
       play the match as normal.

       There should be plenty of people around to help with this if it is needed.
