Society Guests play off of a handicap of 18 until they have played with us 3 times and a more appropriate handicap can be set or they volunteer a lower handicap based on their experience. Guests are reminded that a real playing handicap that they may have with a golf club bears little relationship to our society handicaps as we are rated against each other and not a course. Your society handicap will typically be 4 or mor shots lower than your club handicap.
