9. Outings Optional rounds of 18 holes at surrounding courses
Try to have at least one per month

10. Handicaps
We use the USGA formula to compute handicap indexes (see the website for information)
Handicap indexes are based on scores from the current and previous seasons
maximum of the last 20 league scores are used
everyone who played last year has a starting handicap index
If you are new or have no previous rounds you will get a handicap index on your first scoring round.
A course handicap is calculated using your handicap index and the slope of the tee played on the course.
Course Handicap = handicap Index * (Slope Rating of Tee on Course / 113)
if your handicap index is 6 your front 9 (white tee) handicap at Village Greens is 6.4
The course handicap is subtracted from your round score to determine your net score.

11. Scoring
For 2019 we are continuing to use a FedEx Cup like scoring system
Points will be awarded based on order of finish
Points will accumulate all season and a Championship tournament will determine the winner
There will be no weekly bonus point games
$10 million will NOT be awarded to the winner (only a fabulous trophy, a gift card, and the green jacket)

12. Scoring
Each week regular players receive points determined by the order of finish (net score)
all regular players who play each week will receive points (not just the top 10)
1st place gets 100 pts, 2nd 60 pts, 3rd 38 points…32nd gets 5 pts
A complete description of scoring will be on the website

13. Majors There will be 2 Majors…once per 9 week session
The date of the major will be set before the start of the 9 week session
Most likely the 5th round of the session
First major will be May 21st, second is July 23rd
Since Majors should be more difficult (and more points are available) we will play one tee back (men play blue and women play white tees)
Handicaps are adjusted to account for the more difficult tee
Points are awarded based on order of finish (net score). 1st gets 150pts, 2nd gets 83pts, 3rd gets 53pts…32nd gets 7pts
