No Handicap - No Entry into Events

Hello fellow golfers,

I would like to be clear on the point that I have already voiced in the past. If you sign up for a men’s night, or one of our tournaments, you MUST have an established handicap on the RCGA system, OR, a signed handicap form from your home course. This goes for Harmon Seaside Links players and non-members. The only obvious exception to this would be a scramble format where we are mixing non-golfers in.

From this point onward, if myself and the Tournament Committee cannot find an established handicap on our computer system when we do a search, you will not be permitted to play. I will not entertain such comments as “that’s my handicap from two years ago”, or “I don’t know how to put my scores in”. If your handicap is not up to date, that is not our fault, and we can only go by what is established. Also, I have offered to help anyone who does not know how to enter scores, and have only had one person ask.

Remember, this game needs to remain fun, and fair, for all of us to play. I am not making these statements to be difficult, we need to keep everyone’s interest in this game, so everyone has to be playing off an established handicap, no exceptions.

So, if you are signed up for the Captain’s Cup this weekend, you MUST have an established handicap, either visible through out Computer system, or with a form from your home club. If not, you will not be permitted to play.

  1. So for a person who's played the Harmon forever, I'm now excluded because I'm not a memeber of a club. Trying to make it sound inclusionary through exclusionary methods doesn't make it right.
