Home Course: WHITESTONE Website Updated — 22 APR 2024 Handicap Revised Continuously on a Daily Basis (WHS) Last Revision Posted On-Line 22 APR 2024 10 DEC 2019 -- Our CMGA club handicap system is an internal club system based on the new World Handicap System (WHS) but is meant for local use only for the benefit of our members in our own events. Events outside our club may use the handicap at the discretion of the event committee, but they are not required to do so. The program has been updated to the new WHS club system. The members are not permitted to enter their own scores. The handicap is referred to as a "Club Handicap" and is no longer designated as a "USGA Handicap."    ******************************* 1) For new members, an initial handicap can be established based on 3 rounds played with the group instead of the previous 5 rounds. 2) The handicap is based on the best 8 differentials of the last 20 scores. Previously the handicap was based on the best 10 differentials of the last 20 scores.  3) The handicap Index is revised continuously when each new score is recorded. Index adjustments are built into the system. You will have an updated current handicap each time you play. 4) There is no adjustment penalty for exceptional scores. 5) Weather conditions are not used in the WHS club system. 1 JAN 2024 — The following 11 players have been removed from the active handicap list and placed on inactive status for non payment of the handcap fee. Any player on the inactive list can be reactivated to actve status when the handicap fee ($20.00) is paid. No pro-rating the handicap fee for reactivation. Vince Apodaca, Gene Byrnes, Jim Christianson, John Cicchetti, Dave DeChaney, Jerry Dorman, Gary Kienast, Tom Mueller, Aris Sunio (re-instated), John Van Dyke, Clint Willesen ************************************************************************ Quite a number of rule changes went into effect on 1 JAN 2019. Below is a YouTube video link which explains the 20 most significant rule changes (opens in a new window or tab). No significant rule changes for 2022 or 2023 for the amateur golfer. No significant changes are expected for 2024, but there may be some changes in how handicaps are adjusted but that should not affect us and should not affect our index since we are a "Club" system. Our handicap program receives the latest updates automatically when the updates are available. Golf Rule Changes Home Course Designation — The designated Home Course for all the golfers in the CMGA system is Whitestone Golf Club. The handicap reflected on the cards is the Whitestone handicap. Handicaps can be adjusted for other courses by the Index. There are currently 23 CMGA Golfers on the Handicap listing.
