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 § mike. foster@sherwin. com § 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
