| IT WAS A SUNNY MONDAY MORNING ON THE FIRST HOLE OF A BUSY COURSE. I WAS BEGINNING MY PRE-SHOT ROUTINE, VISUALIZING MY UPCOMING SHOT WHEN A VOICE CAME OVER THE CLUBHOUSE SPEAKER: "WOULD THE GENTLEMAN ON THE WOMEN'S TEE BACK UP TO THE MEN'S TEE". I COULD FEEL EVERY EYE ON THE COURSE LOOKING AT ME. I WAS STILL IN MY ROUTINE, SEEMINGLY IMPERVIOUS TO THE INTERRUPTION. AGAIN CAME AN ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE CLUBHOUSE. "WOULD THE MAN ON THE WOMAN'S TEE KINDLY BACK UP TO THE MEN'S TEE." I SIMPLY IGNORED THE GUY AND KEPT CONCENTRATING, WHEN ONCE MORE THE SPEAKER BLARED OUT IT'S MESSAGE. "WOULD THE MAN ON THE WOMAN'S TEE BACK UP TO THE MEN'S TEE, PLEASE". I FINALLY STOPPED, TURNED, LOOKED THROUGH THE CLUBHOUSE WINDOW, DIRECTLY AT THE PERSON WITH THE MICROPHONE, CUPPED MY HANDS OVER MY MOUTH, AND SHOUTED BACK. "WOULD THE ASSHOLE IN THE CLUBHOUSE KINDLY SHUT UP AND LET ME PLAY MY SECOND SHOT!!!". |

Handicap
| Scratch Golfer Is one who can play to a Course Handicap™ of zero on any and all rated golf courses. He (she) can hit tee shots an average of 250 (210) yards and reach a 470 (400)-yard hole in two shots. Bogey Golfer Is one with a Course Handicap of 20 (24). He (she) can hit tee shots an average of 200 (150) yards and can reach a 370 (280)-yard hole in two shots. USGA Course Rating™ The USGA® mark that indicates the evaluation of the playing difficulty of a course for scratch golfers. It is based on yardage and other obstacles to the extent that they affect the scoring difficulty of the scratch golfer. Example: 68.5 Bogey Rating the one number every golfer worse than a scratch should check before deciding which tees to play. This rating is the evaluation of the playing difficulty of a course for the bogey golfer. It is based on yardage, effective playing length and other obstacles to the extent that affect the scoring ability of the bogey golfer. To figure out this number, other than from looking at this database, the bogey golfer should take the Slope Rating®, divide it by the set factor (5.381 for men, and 4.24 for women) and add that to the Course Rating. The result is a target score for the bogey golfer, and is a truer yardstick of the challenge that lies ahead for the particular set of tees. Example: 96.3- which predicts the bogey golfer's average of his ten best (out of twenty) scores would be approximately 96.3 from this particular set of tees. Slope Rating® the USGA mark that indicates the measurement of the relative difficulty for the bogey golfer compared to the Course Rating. Slope Rating is computed from the difference between the bogey rating and the Course Rating. The lowest Slope Rating is 55 and the highest is 155. Example: 125 |
