From the Handicap Committee Questions for the Handicap Committee may be submitted to: WCCFOXHC@gmail.com The Handicap Committee mailbox will be monitored during the active golf season and the Handicap Committee will do its best to respond to all inquiries as quickly as reasonably possible. Mission Statement: The combined Handicap Committee for Weymouth/Fox Meadow has a very simple mission: ensure that all competitions conducted by the Men’s Golf Association are contested on a level playing field that allows each competitor a reasonable chance to win if that competitor plays well in that event. In addition, it is the Committee’s responsibility to monitor member handicaps and to ensure that handicaps correctly reflect a player’s demonstrated ability so that the handicaps that our members carry will allow them to fairly compete in NOGA and other tournament events outside of Weymouth\Fox Meadow. Governance & Purpose Weymouth Country Club and Fox Meadow Country Club are members of the Northern Ohio Golf Association (NOGA), a regional designee of the United States Golf Association (USGA). To facilitate participation in the many NOGA tournaments held each year throughout the region, and to establish handicaps for our club events, our members must adhere to all the rules and decisions defined by the USGA. Each golf club or golf association utilizing the USGA Handicap System must appoint a Handicap Committee to ensure the integrity of the Handicap Index issued for its members. Weymouth Country Club and Fox Meadow Country Club have a 7
single combined Handicap Committee to ensure uniformity in peer review. The purpose of the Rules of Handicapping is to make the game of golf more enjoyable by enabling players of differing abilities to compete on an equitable basis. The System provides a fair Course Handicap for each player, regardless of ability, and adjusts a player's Handicap Index up or down as the player's game changes. At the same time, the System disregards high scores that bear little relation to the player's potential ability and promotes continuity by making a Handicap Index continuous from one playing season or year to the next. In addition, the Rules of Handicapping are based on two important premises: each player will try to make the best score on each hole in every round, regardless of where the round is played, and that the player will post EVERY acceptable round for peer review (refer to Rules of Handicapping, rule 2.1 covering acceptability of scores, or refer to the “Posting Scores” section below). The player and the player’s Handicap Committee share responsibility for adhering to these premises. Each member can help the Committee and their Club ensure this system works by following a few simple guidelines: Understand and follow Adjustment of Hole Scores as outlined in the World Handicap System (pgs. 9-10) when posting scores. Post EVERY acceptable score upon completion of your round. Because Handicap Indexes will change dynamically, as opposed to twice each month as they have in the past, it is critically important that the score be posted as soon as possible after completing a round. Participate in the Peer Review process by holding playing competitors accountable to post their scores immediately upon completion of each round. 8
The Handicap Committee will be reviewing Handicap Indices on a regular basis throughout the golfing season, and has the responsibility to ensure that each player has a Handicap Index reflecting potential ability. The Handicap Index is not an indicator of an “average” or “most likely” score. It’s about potential. Handicaps will be prominently posted in designated locations at both clubs so that members may review the Handicap Index of any club member, along with the number of rounds posted. Peer Review The Handicap Committee will be reviewing Handicap Indices on a regular basis throughout the golf season. Rule 2 of the Rules of Handicapping covers the conditions a score must satisfy to be acceptable for handicap purposes (also see section in this book covering posting of scores), providing confidence that it will produce reasonable evidence of a player’s ability and, ultimately, a Handicap Index that is reflective of demonstrated ability. World Handicap System (WHS) Effective January 1, 2020 the USGA has adopted the World Handicap System. Important highlights of the changes from the old system are as follows: Handicaps will potentially change each time a score is posted. The old system of GHIN Indexes being updated on the 1st and 15th of each month is no longer in place. If applicable a player’s handicap index will change the day after a score is posted. The Handicap Index will be based on the best 8 scores out of the most recent 20. The old system used the best 10 scores out of the most recent 20. 9
The maximum score a player can count on any hole for Handicap purposes is a net double bogey. The “old” Equitable Stroke Control system is no longer in use. 2020 Tournament Handicap Summary Summary of 2020 Tournament Handicap Calculation (please see pages 11-21 for policies and Qualifications for Tournament Play) Tournament Handicap is initially based on Handicap Index as reflected in the GHIN software on the appropriate cutoff date for each tournament determined by the Handicap Committee GHIN Handicap Index is routinely reviewed by the Handicap Committee for validity and compared to CPI (Competition Player Index) calculation (pgs. 11-12); Tournament Handicap may be reduced based on the difference between GHIN and CPI. Specific requirements regarding scores posted to GHIN in the last 12 months (minimum of 20 scores), minimum number of competition scores posted from 1/1/18 forward (minimum of 5 competition scores), and number of scores posted in 2020 under the ladder system (see page 19) must be met. If any player does not meet all three of these requirements, they will be subject to the Handicap reductions outlined on page 12. Season-long match play Handicaps start with 1/1/20 index and can go down (but not up) during the season It is EXPECTED that scores from ALL acceptable rounds are posted in GHIN by midnight the day the round is completed! This is more important than ever since playing conditions are accounted for with the “dynamic” handicap index changes only if entered by midnight 10
2020 Tournament Play As stated in the summary, the starting point for determining a player’s tournament handicap for events other than season-long match play will be the player’s GHIN Handicap Index at the appropriate cutoff date determined by the Handicap Committee in advance of each tournament. Rule 1.3 of the Rules of Handicapping indicates that a player is expected to Act with Integrity by following the Rules of Handicapping and to refrain from using, or circumventing, the Rules of Handicapping for the purpose of gaining an unfair advantage. As part of the ongoing Peer Review Process the Committee reserves the right to adjust the player’s Handicap Index for any tournament for the following reasons: Player does not post scores to GHIN for acceptable rounds played Historical tournament scores are inconsistent with Handicap Index. Player does not have at least 5 competition scores on their record from 1/1/18 forward Player does not have at least 20 scores posted in GHIN during the most recent 12 months Player fails to meet current year “Ladder” requirements established by Golf Committee (see Qualifications for Tournament Play) A player’s Competition Playing Index (CPI) is computed by taking the best 8 of the most recent 20 (consistent with the WHS formula to compute a regular index) competition scores (or the best 40% of the Competition scores if the player does not have 20 scores on their record). The Committee will initially look at Competition scores in the trailing 12 months prior to the CPI date (see four dates outlined below). If the player has at least 5 Competition scores in 11
the trailing 12 months, those scores will be used in the CPI calculation. If a player does not have at least 5 Competition scores in the trailing 12 months, the Committee will look back as far as 1/1/18 to get to the minimum of five scores and the most recent 5 Competition scores will be used in the calculation. If a player does not have the minimum of 5 Competition scores even when looking back to 1/1/18, the player’s CPI cannot be calculated and the player will be subject to the handicap reductions described below. The CPI will be “run” four times during the season (4/1, 6/1, 7/1, 8/1). The CPI computed on those dates will be compared to the player’s GHIN Handicap Index as of the appropriate tournament cutoff date (determined by the Handicap Committee). For those players whose CPI is 2 or more strokes lower than their GHIN Handicap Index, the CPI will be used as that player’s handicap index for that tournament; otherwise the player’s GHIN index as of the appropriate cutoff date will be used for that particular tournament. Once the player’s handicap index for the tournament has been determined, a course handicap for that player is determined based on the tees being played. Finally, the course handicap is multiplied by the Handicap Allowance from the Rules of Handicapping (Appendix C) to determine the Playing Handicap for that player for that tournament. The maximum Playing Handicap in all tournament play is 27. As mentioned previously, players who do not have a minimum of five Competition scores in their GHIN record from 1/1/18 to the tournament cutoff date OR 20 scores posted in GHIN during the 12 months prior to the tournament cutoff date OR do not meet the current “Ladder” requirement established by the Golf Committee will have their handicap for tournament play reduced by 25% (must meet ALL THREE criteria to avoid reduction): 12
Season-Long Match Play Because match play events begin before many members have the ability to get many rounds played in 2020, The starting point for both the individual and two-man match play events at both clubs will be the 1/1/20 GHIN index for each player. At the time an actual match is played, the pro shop will prepare the card using the low 12-month handicap index for each player (Note that, with the institution of the World Handicap System in 2020, the low 12-month index for all players reset at 1/1/20 since handicaps prior to that date had been computed under the old handicap system). The result will be that each player will be playing to their low 12-month index under the World Handicap System in each match. Match Play Handicap Reductions Consistent with the process that will be used in handicapping other tournaments in 2020, match play handicaps will be subject to adjustment under the following circumstances: 1. A player does not have 20 scores posted to their GHIN record in the period from 3/16/19 to 3/15/20 2. A player does not have at least five Competition scores posted to their record in the period from 1/1/18 to 3/15/20. If either of the two criteria is not met, the starting match play index for that player will be 75% of the player’s 1/1/20 GHIN index. For future matches the index to be used will be the lower of that reduced starting index or the low 12-month index as of the date the match is being played. Member-Guest Invitational Tournament The process for members will follow the non-match play system described above. For guests, EVERY guest participating in the Invitational MUST have a GHIN Handicap from a Tier 1 or Tier 2 13
Golf Club as defined by the USGA + a minimum of 10 scores posted in that system from July 16, 2019 to July 15, 2020. Please speak to the golf staff for instructions on how your guest may add a GHIN to your member account. This is a fantastic service being offered by our Clubs. Guests who do not have the appropriate index will be able to play with a 25% reduction in their handicap. The Committee also reserves the right to adjust the guest’s handicap due to the following: Playing record with an inadequate number of scores Prior Member-Guest Invitational performance inconsistent with current Handicap Index Handicap Index is from a Type 3 Golf Club as designated by the USGA Holes not played, holes not finished, holes conceded A player who starts, but does not complete a hole or is conceded a stroke must record for handicap purposes the most likely score as detailed in Rule 3.3 of the Rules of Handicapping The most likely score may not exceed net double bogey, but will be lower than net double bogey if the lower score was most likely. The most likely score should be preceded by an “X.” The most likely score consists of the number of strokes already taken plus, in the player’s best judgement, the number of strokes the player would take to complete the hole from that position. In the interest of peer review, a player not completing the hole should consult with the other players in the group in arriving at the most likely score. If the player is competing in a match play format, the player should consult with his opponent(s) in arriving at the most likely score. When a hole is not started, or not played in accordance with the principles of “Rules of Golf,” the score to be entered for handicap purposes is par (for the hole) plus any handicap strokes the player is entitled to, based on Course Handicap. 14
Posting Scores All match play events will be posted as competition scores by the competitors after completion of match. The Golf Staff will verify the scores the next day and make any necessary adjustments. Scorecards for other tournament events will be collected at the end of play each day and competition scores will be posted by the Golf Staff. After completing 18 holes of an acceptable non-competition round, the player must post his score for peer review. This may be done at the computer in the Pro Shop designated for such use, or via the Internet using the GHIN service. GHIN also provides a free app for use on a smartphone to facilitate posting of scores, and the review of other players’ scores and handicap history. If you have questions concerning any of the above procedures, please ask one of your Handicap Committee members or your Golf Professionals for assistance. As a Weymouth/Fox Meadow member, you are required to post your score under the following conditions: You play a round at home or away during an active season at the course you played. You play in any form of play; match play, stroke play, even team play, in which you play your own ball. You play at least 7 holes (post a 9-hole score) or 14 holes (post an 18-hole score). On the holes you didn’t play record par plus any handicap strokes you would have received. Do not post scores under the following circumstances: **NEW USGA World Handicap Regulations 2020 (Rule 2)** When playing alone When being coached on the course When using non-conforming equipment If you play fewer than 7 holes in a 9-hole round If you play fewer than 14 holes in an 18-hole round (9-hole score must be posted) 15
When you play in a competition limiting the number of clubs used, such as a one-club or irons-only event When an 18-hole course is less than 3000 yards When an event is not played under a format authorized by the Rules of Golf, such as a “scramble,” “shamble,” or any other format where you are not playing your ball exclusively for the entire round When you play a course currently observing an inactive season It is expected that the score is posted before midnight on the day the round is played. If the score is not posted that day it will not be considered in the Playing Conditions Calculation which potentially will impact all scores posted at a given course on a given day Penalty Score for Failure to Post If a player fails to post an acceptable score as soon as practicable after completion of the round, the Handicap Committee may do as follows: 1. Post the actual score made by the player; 2. Post a penalty score equal to the lowest Handicap Differential in the scoring record; 3. Post the actual score and a penalty score. The Handicap Committee is not required to notify the player prior to posting a penalty score. The Handicap Committee will periodically review tee sheets to ensure that all appropriate scores are being posted in GHIN in accordance with the USGA rules. If the Committee finds that scores are not properly recorded or not being recorded at all, the Committee can apply a score of 72 from the tees the player normally plays (with or without a prior warning being issued). If any questions should arise please email the handicap committee. All Northern Ohio Golf Association (NOGA) events completed must be recorded as either Home or Away Competition scores! 16
While it is each player’s ethical responsibility to enter these scores promptly and accurately, the Committee may also review NOGA tournament activity and take corrective action if necessary. New Members We encourage new members to participate in tournaments. We do want new members to be aware that we cannot allow their participation at the expense of fair and equitable competition for longer-standing members. If new members cannot meet the requirements for minimum scores posted in the last 12 months, a minimum of 5 competition scores from 1/1/18 forward or the “Ladder” requirements applied to longer-standing members, the Handicap Committee may apply handicap reductions or establish a Tournament Player Index deemed appropriate by the Committee for the new member. Competitive Performance Review The CPI comparison process was put in place to address the circumstance where a player’s tournament performance is consistently better than their normal GHIN Handicap Index. In addition to the use of the CPI, The Handicap Committee may also reduce a player’s index between rounds of a multi-round tournament if actual results from the tournament are inconsistent with the Handicap Index the player has been assigned for that event. In summary, the goal of the Handicap Committee is to provide fair tournament competition at Weymouth and Fox Meadow Country Clubs. Golf is a game of integrity, and we believe our members prefer it that way. There are times when steps must be taken to protect the integrity of the competition, and the Handicap Committee is required and broadly empowered by the USGA to take any necessary actions needed to ensure a level playing field. We thank the membership for their participation and cooperation and look forward to a fun and competitive 2020 tournament season! 17

CANCELLATION\NO SHOW & WITHDRAWAL POLICY Participants in club events must be respectful of the preparation and cost involved in hosting each of our tournaments. Canceling after the posted deadlines listed on the tournament schedule or in Golf Genius (or “no-showing”/withdrawing) causes’ significant additional labor for our golf professionals and their teams (flighting/pairings) and additional cost (reprinting materials). If a member cancels his/her entry after the posted deadline, “no- shows” for the event, or withdraws before completion of the event, the member will be subject to the following: 1. ALL tournament fees will be billed to the member and are final and non-refundable. 2. Repeat offenders of the policy may be subject to review by the Men’s Golf Association and eligibility for future tournaments may be suspended. White Tee Policy Members and guests may play the White Tees under the following: If the player has a minimum handicap index being used for the tournament of 15 or higher AND his age plus handicap index being used for the tournament = 85 or higher, the player may play the event from the White Tees. If the member chooses to play the event from the White Tees, his course handicap will be computed from the White tees and that course handicap will be used to determine his playing handicap for that tournament. Please speak with the golf staff if you have questions about the application of this policy. 19
