MWPGA POSTING FORM

Scores from Michigan golf courses are to be reported only during the "active" season, which for 2004 is from April 1  through October 25.  You can still report scores for rounds played prior to October 28, 2003.  If you play out of state during that states active season those score should be reported.

MWGA changed handicap vendors this year.  We are now with Handicomp, which has changed our handicap submission dates. In 2004, you may post your scores on the internet or submit your scores on posting cards to the MWGA Handicap Chair for each posting period by Tuesday:

EQUITABLE STROKE CONTROL (ESC)

Equitable Stroke Control (ESC) is the downward adjustment of individual hole scores for handicap purposes in order to make handicaps more representative of a player's potential ability.  ESC sets a maximum number that a player can post on any hole depending on that player's Course Handicap.  ESC is used only when a player's actual or most likely score exceeds the maximum number based on the following table.  Players posted scores must be adjusted to conform to ESC.

Example: A player with a 24 course handicap scores a 98 for an 18-hole round.  Scores on a all holes except two were an 8 or less.  On one hole she scored a 10 and on another hole she scored a 9.  The player must adjust these two scores to 8's and will report her adjusted score for the round as 95.

WOMENS RATINGS ADJUSTMENTS

Posting a Score from an Un-rated Set of Tees on a Rated Course
If you play a rated course where USGA Course and Slope Ratings from any tees played are available, locate the nearest set of tees in yardage that have been rated for you.  Determine the yardage difference.  Find the yardage range in the table below.  Add the table values if the tees played are longer, or subtract the values if the tees played are shorter.
