When posting scores, there is no limit to the number
of holes, which may be reduced under equitable stroke control. 2. During tournament play, if you do not hole out
on every hole, you will be disqualified from the PCM9GA competition
if it is an individual event. If it is a team event, and the hole
you pick up on does not affect the team score, you will still be
eligible to win prize money. USGA rules state that a score should
be posted for every game played, provided that a minimum of 7 holes
are holed out for every 9 played. For any holes not played, the
posted score should be par for that hole, plus any strokes or "pops"
the player would get, based on handicap. If you play a hole and
pick up before you have holed out, your score for that hole should
be any strokes already played, plus any additional strokes it would
normally take you to complete that hole, not to exceed your equitable
stroke. (So for practical purposes, your score on that hole would
be your equitable stroke.) 3. In any game where the number or type of clubs to be used is restricted, (e.g. 3 clubs + a putter) the score for that game should not be posted. Posting Scores
on Arizona Golf Association (AGA) Web Site 1. There are two ways for PCM9GA members to post scores in the Arizona Golf Association system:
PMC9GA Handicap Policy/Procedure 1. It is not necessary to have an established AGA Handicap Index in order to join the PCM9GA. Members are immediately eligible to participate in all social and non-tournament golf events. However, after joining, members must establish an AGA Handicap Index in order to participate in PCM9GA tournament events (once- monthly tournaments; special tournaments; championship tournament). 2. The Handicap Index is that number that represents a golfer's potential for scoring based on a history of player's scores at multiple courses. A Handicap Index, for example, of 14.2 would indicate that the golfer on his best day would score about 14 or 15 strokes above par on a course of average difficulty, which when applied to the parameters of a specific course define a precise handicap for each hole on the course. The Handicap Index is used to calculate a precise Course Handicap for the specific course being played on, when applied to that course's Slope and Course Ratings. 3. Establishment of an AGA Handicap Index requires entry of five (5) 9-hole round scores in the AGA computer system available in both pro shops and on-line at www.AZgolf.org. The AGA system then automatically calculates and updates the Handicap Index using a complex formula, twice each month. 4. Process: a. If the new member already has five scores at
the time of joining he may enter them in the AGA system immediately
after his name appears in the system. (A few days after becoming
an official AGA member). 5. PCM9GA tournament pairings are based upon each participant's Course Handicap, automatically calculated for each hole, which can only be determined if the member has a Handicap Index. 6. Maintenance of an accurate Handicap Index is essential to ensuring fairness in tournament play as well as providing a personal "yardstick" for your golf performance over time, and requires entry of scores after completion of each round. It is each member's responsibility to regularly enter all scores as played in PCM9GA events and all other rounds at Pebble Creek and elsewhere. 7. Official scorecards will be printed for all PCM9GA
golf rounds. The cards will be provided to each foursome and all
players will record their gross scores on this card and the duplicate
card provided. The cards will be collected after each event and
the Handicap/Pairings Committee will enter all the scores in the
AGA system. OTHER COMMUNICATION INFORMATION 1. We have a PCM9GA website at www.pcm9ga.com which all members should frequently enter. As well as a great deal of Group information this is where you will find pairings and tournament information. Among many other sections there is a photo gallery enabling you to identify your pairings partner for the next week's event! The webmaster is Russ Georgesen at rgeorgesen@cox.net. 2. You will also receive group emails for special
information or requests. If your email address changes please inform
Russ Georgesen rgeorgesen@cox.net
and the Membership Chairman Bruce Hulbert at bhulbert2@cox.net. Pebble
