Handicap Adjustments
Playing From Different Tees
When any group of players, men or women play in the same competition from different tees there needs to be a handicap adjustment for those playing from the tees with a higher Course Rating.
For example in the Wren Stewart Trophy, which is open to all, women playing from the red tees with a course rating of 71.1 against men playing from the the white tees rated at 68.7 would be calculated as 71.1-68.7 = 2.4 rounded to two additional strokes to those playing from the red tees.
The allowance is for the competition only and would be discounted for any handicap adjustments.
Note: Where men and women play in parallel competitions, albeit in mixed groups, for separate prizes the above is not applicable.
