GHIN Handicaps
Our course was rerated in fall of 2024 by Virginia State Golf Association Please note that this change will potentially have an direct outcome on your handicap depending on the tee that you play Here are some frequent questions we receive in the pro shop
How often does my handicap update? Your handicap index will update daily after midnight. 1.
2
What is the difference between handicap index and my course handicap? Your Handicap Index® is a portable number that represents your demonstrated ability - but when it comes time to tee it up, that number is converted to a Course Handicap, which accounts for the difficulty of the course and tees played. When playing a recreational round, all you need to know is your Course Handicap, which is the number used to adjust hole scores for net double bogey
3
How many rounds does it take to establish a handicap? A total of 54 holes must be played and posted to your scoring record These scores can be made up of any combination of 9- or 18hole rounds.
4.
Within what timeframe should I post my round? A player should submit their score as soon as possible on the day of play, after completion of their round, and before midnight (local time)
5
Can I play by myself and post my round? Peer review is the process by which either a score or a player’s Handicap Index® can be confirmed or challenged, and when rounds are played without another person present, the process cannot be facilitated. (Rule 2.1, Rules of Handicapping). Playing solo is not an acceptable score for handicap purposes
6
Can I play multiple balls in a round of golf and post my round? Playing multiple balls is not an acceptable score for handicap purposes
7.
What is the maximum that I post on a given hole? The maximum score for each hole played is limited to a net double bogey, equal to double bogey plus any handicap strokes you are entitled to receive based on your Course Handicap You may post your score hole by hole and the system will do the rest
What are the yellow tees? The yellow tees are our most newly rated tee box at Indian Creek where you will play every hole as a par 3. This short course gives you an alternative to the regular play Great for all ages and skill levels! You may post a round from the yellow tees to your handicap as the VSGA now have a rating from this tee 8
What should you post for a hole that you have completed? When the format of play allows you to start a hole but not complete it, the score recorded for handicap purposes is your most likely score, equal to: The number of strokes already taken on the hole, plus; Any penalty strokes incurred during the hole, plus; The number of strokes you would most likely require to complete the hole
