Posting Scores USGA Handicap Guidelines must always be observed when posting your score.

Please note: 1. Post ALL scores (As of 2019, scores may not be posted during rounds that you are playing alone).

2. Adjust any hole score downward when it is higher than the maximum number of strokes you are allowed to post (Net Double Bogey Maximum).

3. If you start, but do not complete a hole, post for handicap purposes the score you most likely would have made. (This may not be the maximum for that hole.)

4. If you do not play a hole, post a score which is the sum of par plus the strokes you would get on that hole.

5. If you play 14 or more holes, post a score for the 18-holes using the above guideline to determine your score. If you play 7-13 holes, post a 9-Hole score.

6. If you play nine holes two different days, post your 9-hole scores, and let the computer calculate your 9 and 18-hole handicaps.

7. For the system to reflect your handicap index most accurately, it is important that you post every eligible round on the day of play. If you need assistance in posting scores, a member of the Professional Staff is happy to assist.

8. If you have any questions about posting, contact one of the members of the professional staff.

ADDITIONAL COMPETITIVE OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE

for Old Tabby Links Women Golfers LOW COUNTRY TEAM PLAY Spring Island women participate in the Lowcountry Team Play Association, a golf league that consists of 19 private clubs in our area. There are five divisions with seven teams in each. Matches are played with six players from each club (and some clubs field 2 or 3 teams). Two players from each club team play against two from the opposing club: Match Play, best ball of twosome, 18 holes, 1 point per hole, no strokes. The team with the most points at the end of the season moves up a division and the one with the lowest points moves down. We play a round robin format and each club has a bye when they host, so there's no home field advantage.

SOUTH CAROLINA WOMEN’S GOLF ASSOCIATION Old Tabby Links is a member, and events are posted on their website and in the locker room. If you are interested in a particular event, contact the Golf Shop for information.
