Handicap Eligibility

 

1. Handicap limits will be calculated one week prior to the first day of competition as follows:
   1. Class A Tournaments – USGA Handicap Index maximum of 14.0.
   2. Class B Tournaments – USGA Handicap Index minimum of 14.1.
2. A player may only enter a tournament for which her USGA Handicap Index makes her eligible. EXCEPTION: Players in the Myra D. Paterson must fulfill USGA Handicap Index requirements as of November 15th of the previous year.
3. If a subsequent handicap revision would make her ineligible for an event other than those noted in the preceding EXCEPTION, the player will not be required to withdraw. In any Championship, the player will be required to use the maximum allowable Index or her current Index, whichever is lower. If the player’s Index is lower than the minimum allowed for entry, she will not be eligible for a gross prize.
