             Oak Valley Golf Course Handicap Program

 The Oak Valley Golf Course Handicap Committee has developed a
handicap program that will be utilized again this year for the Oak Valley
Men’s Golf Association and OVGC sponsored tournaments. This will be the
fourth year we have utilized this handicap program. Listed below are some
of the key parts of the program.

•  All members are required to establish and maintain a certified
  handicap in order to participate in any OVMGA tournaments as
  well as OVGC tournaments/golfing events.

•  For those not desiring to participate in these events a handicap is
  not required.

•  Members are responsible for posting ALL golf scores in the clubhouse
  system within two days after completing a round at OVGC. Away
  rounds must be posted within two weeks. Away scores must be
  posted with proper course and slope ratings.

•  OVGC Handicap Committee will monitor the posting of scores and
  will periodically and randomly audit the daily tee sheets and verify that
  members have posted scores. All tournament scores will be verified
  by the OVGC Handicap Committee.

•  For tournament players who continually shoot a lower score than his
  handicap, the OVGC Handicap Committee will be responsible for
  adjusting that “handicap” prior to the next tournament.

•  Failure by a member to post a score within the allotted time will result
  in the OVGC Handicap Committee posting a score for that date equal
  to the lowest of the member’s last 20 scores in the handicap program.

•  If a player manipulates their scores to influence their handicap index,
  the OVGC Handicap Committee shall have the authority to adjust or
  withdraw their handicap index, depending on the severity of the offense.

•  Any penalty scores or handicap index adjustments posted by the
  OVGC Handicap Committee may not be removed from the clubhouse
  handicap system unless approved by the OVGC Handicap Committee.

There are other parts to the handicap program. These are just some of the
highlights. A copy of this document and a copy of the complete handicap
program will be posted on the OVMGA bulletin board. A handicap
established years ago is not a current handicap. A member should have
their last 20 rounds posted in the system to have a current handicap. New
members should refer to the Head Pro.

This serves as a reminder so that members utilizing handicaps will ensure
that they post all their scores
