Stroke adjustment for girls participating in the New Zealand Secondary Schools Championship, District and
National Events

Any girl member of a school participating in any stage of the Championship shall adhere to the following playing
conditions:
• Girls shall play off the ladies (yellow) tees
• In accordance with Section 9.3 (c) of the New Zealand Golf Inc Handicap Regulations, if the course ratings at the
respective courses differ then a score adjustment must be made. This occurs at the completion of any girl’s round
by adjusting their gross score by the difference between the ladies course rating and the relevant men’s course
rating. Adjustments between the two respective ratings should be made by adjusting the girl’s gross score, as in
the examples below.

Example 1: Boys playing off white tees, course rating 69.0 Girls playing off yellow tees, course rating 72.2 Course
rating differential -3.2 (0.1-0.4 round down, 0.5-0.9 round up) Adjustment to girls gross score = reduce by 3 shots,
e.g. girl’s gross 85 is adjusted to 82

Example 2: Boys playing off white tees, course rating 70.5 Girls playing off yellow tees, course rating 68.0 Course
rating differential +2.5 Adjustment to girls gross score = add on 3 shots, e.g. girl’s gross 85 is adjusted to 88 These
adjustments are made at both the District and National Final.

New Zealand Golf will make the final decision on any other matter that may affect the playing of the national
final.
