Handicapping Players

 

• Golfers without a GHIN will establish a handicap once 54 holes of scores  are recorded- try to play 54 holes before the start of the league- or post 54 holes from 2025 (any combination of 9’s or 18’s)

• Net scoring will be based on 90% of your handicap for most formats

• Scramble 35%-15%, Shamble 80%

• Handicap season for 2026 begins April 1st in PA

• Wyncote will post the scores from league play to your USGA-GHIN

• Shamble, Scramble and Wyncote Chapman formats will NOT be posted to your GHIN

• If no scores are given then a (0) scratch handicap will apply until a handicap is established.

• Players must post scores for rounds played outside of Wyncote

• Wyncote has the right to change a player’s handicap if it is thought to be incorrect. Any player falsifying a handicap is up for dismissal from the league with no refund. 

• Handicap is adjusted according to tees played

• Men 60+ (handicap 10+) and ladies are eligible to play the gold tees

• Golfers may only change their tee preference once during the league year

 

Scoring

 

• Wyncote has invested in Golf Genius Premium

• All teams are required to have at least 1 golfer with the Golf Genius App and will be responsible for inputting their scores during the round in the app. 

• Enter your gross score (Golf Genius will adjust your score according to your handicap, ie. You score a 5 put in a 5 and Golf Genius will adjust to a 4 if you get a stroke) 

• There will be NO paper scorecards. Golf Genius will handicap matches (golfer with lowest handicap of the match becomes a 0 and all other golfers are adjusted accordingly)

• Points will be earned on a hole by hole basis 

• Winning a hole will earn you 2 points, a tie will earn you 1, a loss will be 0 and 2 points for winning the overall match- for better ball and aggregate

• A vs. A/B vs. B/A vs. B- 10 points per individual match - 1 point win, 0.5 tie, o for a loss, 2 points for winning overall match 

• Scramble- 11 points to top ⅓, 6 points to middle ⅓, and 3 points to bottom ⅓. 

• Stableford, Shamble, Stroke Play, & Chapman- 10 points to top ⅓, 7 points to middle ⅓, and 4 points to bottom ⅓. 

• All players will be required to post accurate scores. If a putt is given to you, you must count that as 1 stroke given to you- not more or less

• All birdie and par putts must be holed out 

• Maximum score on a hole is Net Double Bogey- (ie. you get a stroke on a par 5, the highest you can get is an 8) pick up your ball to maintain pace of play

• PLAYOFFS & CONSOLATION- will follow Aggregate format

• CHAMPIONSHIP- Sept. 22nd 

 

Format Rules

**All 9 hole matches are handicapped**

 

Better Ball: All  players play their own ball throughout the round. The best score amongst the two person team counts as the score for that team.  Two person teams will earn points based on the 9-hole better ball match. How points are scored can be found in the scoring section. 

 

Aggregate: All players play their own ball throughout the round. The two person team adds their score together on each hole and the team with the lowest combined score wins the hole. How points are scored can be found in the scoring section. 

 

A vs A/B vs B: All players play their own ball throughout the round. The lowest handicap player plays a 9 hole match versus the lowest handicap player on the other team. The highest handicap player plays a 9 hole match versus the highest handicap player on the other team

 

A vs B: All players play their own ball throughout the round. The lowest handicap player plays a 9 hole match versus the highest handicap player on the other team. 

 

Shamble: All players tee off and each team chooses the best drive of the two players. The two player team then plays their own ball from the chosen drive until the ball is holed. The score is against the field. 

 

Scramble: Each player hits a shot and the team picks the best shot to hit their next shot. This repeats until the ball is holed. The score is against the field. In this format we will use 35% of the lower handicap and 15% of the higher handicap. 

 

Stableford: All players play their own ball throughout the round against the entire field. Points for individuals are based on the score on each hole. 

 

Wyncote Chapman: Player A and Player B tee off, Player A plays their next shot until holed from Player B’s drive and Player B plays their next shot until holed from player A’s drive. The score is against the field. 

 

Stroke Play: All players play their own ball throughout the round against the entire field.

White Stake (plus fence lines and roadways) = Out of Bounds which incurs a 2 stroke penalty.

 

Yellow Stake = play it as it lies- no penalty, or take a drop as far back as you wish as long as the point is where the ball crossed-1 stroke penalty

 

Red Stake = same as above except you have an extra option of taking lateral relief within two club lengths of where the ball last crossed but no closer to the hole- 1 stroke penalty

 

Red/Yellow Stake w/ Green Tip= environmental area, you may retrieve your ball from this area but are not permitted to hit out of this area. Retrieved ball = 1 stroke penalty with a drop within two club lengths of where the ball crossed but not closer to the hole.  

Local Rule -if your ball is outside the environmental area but your stance requires you to stand in the area to play the ball, take free drop at nearest point of  relief no closer to the hole - No Penalty
