Housekeeping

Scorecards

• Overall the cards were legible and pretty well done. If your handwriting isn’t that good perhaps someone else in your foursome can keep score.
• Everyone has a last name so please write it on the card.
• Please write down your tee time and team number.

Handicaps

• The BMGA Modified Scoring System will only be used for three more weeks. Starting on Week #5, anyone without a USGA Handicap Index will play as a scratch golfer.
• The Wednesday Night League (WNL) Director is not responsible for checking the accuracy of the player’s handicap on the scorecards. Check the GHIN App before teeing off to get your current handicap and adjust it to the Nine (Front or Back) and Tees (Member or Gold).
