Bocaire Handicap Sub-Committee

Members and Sponsored Guests,

Recently the Women’s Golf Committee recognized the need
and value of initiating a Handicap Committee. The Handicap
Committee was formed to institute a game plan to monitor,
validate and enforce any handicap indiscretion that might
affect fairness and equality in all our tournaments, in addition
to our everyday group games.

We all know the ramifications of inaccurate handicaps,
whether these are incorrectly high, or just as bad, incorrectly
low. It affects us all no matter which way the inaccuracies
occur. One of the first things the Handicap Committee
reviewed was the number of rounds played vs the number of
scores posted.

It is imperative that we ALL post our scores for every round
played. You can do this on any of your devices or you are
welcome to bring the scorecard into the Golf Shop. The
Handicap Committee will also monitor deviations with regard
to score vs handicap especially in Women’s League events.

The following pages (20-22) clearly outlines our role in the
handicap system, along with penalties for infractions both
minor and severe.

The Professional Staff will give the Handicap Committee a
report every week going forward. Let’s all make the very easy
effort to post every score.

It’s going to be more enjoyable for all of us.
