How handicaps are calculated

Per the PGAG meeting on 5/7/2005, the PGAG officers agreed to re-calculate the handicaps based on the following guidelines.

1. Use 2003 and 2004 scores from PGAG events.

2. The following tables were used to determine how many scores were used towards the handicap index:

1-6 scores - 1 used
7-8 scores - 2 used
9-10 scores - 3 used
11-12 scores - 4 used
13-14 scores - 5 used
15-16 scores - 6 used
17 scores - 7 used
18 scores - 8 used
19 scores - 9 used
20 or more scores - 10 used

3.  If a PGAG member did not play in 2003 and 2004, his/her handicap stays the same, as published.  This will be adjusted when he/she plays in an event in 2005.

4. Maximum handicap for male PGAG members is 36.4.
5. Maximum handicap for female PGAG members is 40.4.
6. PGAG plans to pursue getting a USGA Handicap Index for every member.
