Handicap: Players must have an active Handicap Index to participate in the net portion of the competition. Players may elect to participate without a handicap but are NOT eligible for net competition and will compete in "flight one" of the gross competition. Course Handicaps are reduced according to USGA recommendations for Four-Ball Stroke Play competition. Players will receive 85% of their Course Handicap to calculate their final Playing Handicap. Handicap Indexes will be determined as of the close of entry date. The Committee reserves the right to modify a player’s Handicap Index.

 

OGA Net Performance Points Adjustment (KTPS): The OGA Tournament Committee has instituted a policy by which they reserve the right to adjust the Course Handicap of any competitor in future competitions. This Policy is based on a modification of the Knuth Tournament Performance Points System (KTPS) as licensed from Dean Knuth. A reduction of a competitor’s Course Handicap will be based on the following criteria. High finishes in any Net portion of a 36-hole OGA championship with 81 participants or more in a division during a two year period will be awarded points accordingly: 1st = 12, 2nd = 10, 3rd = 8, 4th = 6, 5th = 4. High finishes in any Net portion of a 36 hole OGA championship with 40 - 80 participants in a division during a two year period will be awarded points accordingly: 1st = 8, 2nd = 6, 3rd = 4, 4th = 2. High finishes in any Net portion of a 36 hole OGA championship with 20 - 39 participants in a division during a two year period will be awarded points accordingly: 1st = 6, 2nd = 4, 3rd = 2. High finishes in any Net portion of a 36 hole OGA championship with 1 - 19 participants in a division during a two year period will be awarded points accordingly: 1st = 4, 2nd = 2. High finishes in any Net portion of an 18 hole OGA competition (OGA Tour – Individual Series) during a one year period will be awarded points accordingly: 1st = 3, 2nd = 2, 3rd = 1. High finishes in any Net portion of an 18 hole OGA competition (OGA Tour – Partner Series) during a one year period will be awarded points accordingly: 1 – 9 teams 1st = 3, 10 – 19 teams 1st = 3, 2nd = 2, and 20+ teams 1st = 3, 2nd = 2, 3rd = 1. Any contestant who accumulates 17 points over the stated period may have their Course Handicap reduced by 1 stroke for use during the competition. Any contestant who accumulates more than 17 points during the stated period will have their Course Handicap reduced an additional 1 stroke for each additional two points accumulated.

 

Standards of Player Conduct (Serious Misconduct): Contestants are expected to play in the spirit of the game as noted in Rule 1.2. If the Committee considers that a player is guilty of a serious breach of misconduct, including but not limited to unsportsmanlike conduct (cheating, damaging the golf course, defacing club property, using loud obscene language, throwing clubs, consuming alcoholic beverages when such consumption: is prohibited by the host facility, is offensive to the contestants fellow competitors and/or causes the contestant’s behavior to become offensive, etc.), penalty for serious misconduct is disqualification and possible suspension from future play in any OGA Competitions may be imposed. Any disciplinary actions imposed on a contestant by the OGA may be formally communicated to a representative of the contestant’s club and/or to any other allied golf association that the OGA deems appropriate.

 

Pace Of Play: It is your responsibility to keep pace with the group in front of you and play your round in approximately 4 hours and 30 minutes. Players are provided with a scorecard that shows the expected finish time for each hole as well as the total time allotted for the round.
