If you play at a 27-hole golf course you could have 1, 2, or 3 9-hole courses for a 9-hole league and 1, 2 or 3 18-hole courses for a 18-hole league. If you play at a 36 hole golf course you could have 1, 2, 3 or 4 9-hole courses for a 9-hole league and 1 or 2 18-hole courses for a 18-hole league.)

If the courses are not in the system, you will be asked to enter additional information.

To do this you will need the following :

	Course name: ________________________		Slope for each set of nine holes & each tee:_____________________ Slope:________________________
	Course address: ________________________		Rating for each set of nine holes & each tee:____________________ Rating:________________________
	________________________		Handicap, par, and distance for each tee of each hole
	Course phone number: _________________ Course fax number: _________________ Course e-mail address: ___________________________ Course web site address: ___________________________		(Your golf course score card will give most of this information) (Some courses do not display their 9-hole slope & rating, ask the course, or call your local USGA. If you plan on using the USGA handicap index you must contact your regional USGA chapter to get revision dates. The revision dates are the dates used to calculate your handicap. For example, if your dates are 3 weeks apart, then you will have the same USGA handicap index for 3 weeks.)

Handicap Questions (Players)

If you use the true USGA Handicap Calculation you will need to follow all the USGA club requirements that can be found at http://www.usga.com/handicap/establish/index.html. After accepting the club requirements you will need to know if you want to calculate 9- or 18-hole index. You will also need to know the golf course slope and rating for each set of nine holes and your revision dates, that can be found by contacting your regional USGA chapter. The revision dates are the dates used to calculate your handicap. For example, if your dates are 3 weeks apart, than you will have the same USGA handicap index for 3 weeks.

Otherwise, you will need to know the following:

How many rounds do you need to play before you establish a handicap? ______

(If you enter 5, you would need to be playing your 6^th round to have an established handicap that you can use for the current round.)

What is the minimum number of rounds you need to calculate handicap? ______

(If you enter 3, when you reach the 3^rd round, your current round handicap would get calculated by using the current round plus the two previous rounds. After the 3^rd round your handicap would get calculated by using the three previous rounds. This means that you must finish your current round before you can calculate any points. Prior to the 3^rd round, only current round’s scores are used to calculate the handicap for that round.)
