May Highlander

It's a great day for golf at Highland!

Handicap News, Golf Canada has changed the procedure for Equitable Stroke Control when posting your score for handicap purposes. The new process stipulates a maximum score per hole based on your Course Handicap range. This means that many of us now max out at a score of 7,8,9,or,10 on any given hole( based on your current index). This new format is very simple but constitutes a major change. It will be interesting to see what it does to your handicap. A chart is posted beside the Pro Shop computer and Golf Canada information sheets were distributed on Opening Day. As always Mike, Tyler, Rick, and the rest of the staff are knowledgeable and available for guidance.

On the course we all know the usual suspects who are meticulous score keepers and game coordinators (Dan Costigan or Brian Legg) or the rules aficionados (aka Roy Bratty and George Harris). I am sure they all have it sorted out by now and everyone who has been lucky enough to have played is using the new format.
I have not been able to play yet but I have officially recorded a triple of sorts. As I have learned from many others at Highland who went before me it was a bit uncomfortable at the time yet worthwhile in the long run. Remember to post those triples and quads if that is what your index determines!
