The Handicap Committee will review all member handicap indexes using Cap Patrol. In the interest of fair play, a player's handicap index may be modified over and above the standard handicap calculations, to better reflect the players potential playing ability based on Cap Patrol data. Posting percentage must be 75% or greater or your Index may be modified for this event.

Handicaps will be determined on April 1, 2026. Maximum difference between partners' handicap indexes is eight strokes.

GHIN low Index of last 12 months will be applicable to guests.

Blue, Copper, and White tees based on division.

Request for playing “up” a tee: If your age + Handicap Index is greater or equal to 85, then you can request to play the next closest set of tees than what has been assigned for your flight. You must have posted at least 85% of your last 20 scores from an “up tee.” If only one player qualifies, that individual will only move up in the Best-Ball format. Both players must meet this qualification to move up in the Scramble and Select-Drive formats. If either player moves up, the team will only be eligible for “Net” prizes and/or qualifying within your flight. Requests must be made prior to April 22, 2026.
