Many
players have asked for a clarification regarding “T” scores as defined by the
USGA and how they relate to our use of scores in the calculation of our “Local
Handicap:
1.
“T” Scores are as defined
by the USGA Rules on Handicapping in Section 5.2:
A tournament score is a score made in a
competition organized and conducted by a committee in charge of the
competition. The competition must identify a winner(s) based on a stipulated round(s), and must be played
under the principles of the Rules of Golf.
The
committee (preferably the Handicap Committee, in consultation
with the committee in charge of the competition) must determine in advance if
these conditions are met, and announce in advance whether the score must be
identified by the letter "T" when posted. Routine events such as
regular play days normally are not to be designated as T-scores because they
are not significant in the traditions, schedules, formats, and membership of
the club.
Coronado Men’s Golf Club has designated: the
President’s Cup, the Senior Club Championship, The
Club Championship and The Board of Governors competitions as being worthy of
“T” score designation.
2.
Regarding “Local
Handicap”. All CMGC competitions where a player is trying to score
the lowest 18 hole stroke play score will be used to
calculate the CMGC players Local Handicap. This will of course include
competitions designated as “T” score rounds. It will also include all
pure individual stroke play competitions, like this year’s January Satellite
and the first round of all two day eclectics.

you have any questions regarding this please contact the Handicap Chairman
