How do we determine who gets strokes under the handicap format?
Prior to beginning your match, look up each player’s handicap index in the GHIN system at your Canongate Golf Course of choice. Once each index is obtained, view the course chart located in the pro shop and calculate each player’s course handicap based on the tees that the match will be played. Using indexes to determine course handicaps will equalize a match between players who usually play from different tees. Refer to the USGA for further explanation: USGA Competing from Different Tees. Please consult the local course pro if you have questions regarding the determination of each player’s course handicap.
