LNGA Handicap Committee

The Handicap Committee was developed by the LNGA Membership Committee in order to maintain the integrity and fairness of all members’ handicaps. It was designed to create fair and equitable competition in all events/leagues for members and their guests within the Club.
  

Role of the LNGA Handicap Committee

1.     To ensure education exists for equitable stroke control, and establish a schedule of “T” tournament rounds so that
         all members know when/how to implement these procedures.
2.     To review the results of all member events/leagues and take appropriate action if score entries are incorrect.
3.     To determine the amount of adjustment and post penalty scores for players who do not input/incorrectly input their 
         scores into the handicap computer.
4.     To disqualify members and their guests from competition based on handicap infractions.  

All handicap discretions are subject to Committee review. If a member is under review by the Committee, their handicap will be frozen and they will be prohibited from event/league play until a decision is rendered by the Committee.
