World Am Golf Handicap Monitoring

The Handicap Committee will aggressively monitor scores for golf handicap inaccuracies. The following is an overview of the steps taken to ensure an equitable stroke tournament.

  • Past players have gone through our score history program comparing a player’s incoming index with past performances. New players have gone through a rigorous screening process analyzing their incoming index.
  • During the tournament, scores are also adjusted when exceptional rounds are posted. Players with a handicap adjustment during the event are noted by a “ADJ” next to their name on the flight score sheets.
  • If a player’s handicap is adjusted, the committee will research that player, including past tournament scores, handicap indexes and rankings. At the end of this review, a decision is made whether or not to disqualify the competitor.  A player may be disqualified without being adjusted as well.  All tournament committee decisions are final.
