The tournament will be conducted using the USGA Slope Handicap System. Entrants’ handicap indexes will be used to establish a daily handicap based on the USGA slope rating of the course played. Course rating adjustments will be subtracted for those players playing a forward/senior set of tees. For more information, please review the USGA policy on “competitions from different sets of tees.” This is different from what most participants are familiar with in the Myrtle Beach World Amateur.

Participants will submit their USGA Handicap or international equivalent via electronic form beginning on July 1, 2016. Tournament staff will use that factor to flight each player will be based on that information.

If a participant’s handicap index for any reason is not an accurate reflection of the participants playing ability, it is THEIR responsibility to notify tournament officials prior to the event. A valid USGA handicap reflects all golf scores regardless of the course or conditions (as long as the round was played under the Rules of Golf), and must be formulated according to the guidelines established by the USGA. Any unusual posting procedures, such as ceasing to post scores for a period leading up to the event, may be grounds for adjustments or disqualification.

The Handicap Committee reserves the right to adjust a participant’s index prior to or during the event. All participants will have Course Handicaps calculated using their 12-month low Handicap Index. All participants are required to notify a tournament official of any handicap changes prior to the event and after verification forms are returned.
