Handicaps

To obtain a handicap, a player must submit five cards. All players are requested to fill in handicap cards for any completed round. A player with no handicap is not eligible to play in competitions. The player is responsible for ascertaining their correct handicap index. This number must be entered onto the scorecard, along with the club number ( Motueka 270), your computer number and the ESC gross score, before it is returned.

The handicapper may arbitrarily reduce or increase the handicap of players who do not return handicap cards ( sect. .8.para 1C. NZGA). Members are encouraged to check their handicap index before commencing play.

Handicap index postings: Adjustments up or down will be posted on alternate Wednesdays

Silver –0 to 18.4 index
Bronze – 18.5 index upwards

Note: Only financial members of a golf club are eligible to hold a handicap
