APPENDIX
1：LETTER TO MEMBERS FOR THE NEW
HANDICAPPING SERVICE （Sample）
|
Dear __________,：
We all know how important it is to the
enjoyment of the game that each one of us
has a handicap that is a true reflection
of our golfing ability. So, we are pleased
to announce that the club has just introduced
a new handicap service for all members,
which follows the highly successful system
used by the United States Golf Association.
This system has been adopted by the China
Golf Association and will be provided for
all golfers in China.
The United States Golf Association bases
their handicapping on the following principles:
1)Golf is a game based on total honesty
and integrity of the individual.
2)At every hole in every round at any
course, the golfer will always try to make
the best score that he can.
3)Every time a golfer plays a round of
golf, whether it be in a friendly game or
in a competition, he / she will submit his
/ her completed scorecard to the club.
4)Freak high scores are misleading as
to a golfer's normal ability. Therefore,
calculation is made from the best scores
submitted for a given number of rounds,
ideally the best 10 of the golfer's last
20 rounds.
5)Any golfer's scoring record should be
available for any other golfer to see.
6)Should a golfer play a round and not
submit a score, then the handicap committee
can submit a penalty round which will normally
equal the best round of the last 20 the
golfer has played.
HOW DOES IT WORK:
1)Each golfer is given a handicap index
based on the scores submitted.
2)The golfer will take this handicap index
with him to his own golf course or any other
golf course whenever he intends to play.
Each golf course will have on display a
Course Handicap Conversion Chart for each
set of tees, which allows easy conversion
of the handicap index to the golfers handicap
for that particular course. This is the
handicap that would be used for competitions
and informal games on that particular course.
HOW TO GET YOUR HANDICAP INDEX:
1)To join this handicap system only cost
you RMB50 per year. Just fill in the form
provided below and return to us. We will
then prepare a special handicap ID card
ready for when you obtain your handicap
index.
2)Every time you play a round, at this
club or elsewhere, fill out your score on
your scorecard (include tees played and
the date) and get your partner to sign it.
Then place it in the scorecard box located
in the clubhouse.
3)After 5 scores have been received from
you, we will then calculate your handicap
index.
4)Keep submitting your scores each time
you play so that we can update your handicap
index each month.
If you have any questions or require further
information please contact our handicap
secretary _______________, who will try
to help.
