Cut off handicap is 24 for men – is that Handicap Index or alternatively what course/tee will you consider when determining if handicap qualifies?
Hi Peter, it refers to Handicap Index.
Thanks Ed
So at Gary Player CC a man with a HI of 24 could play off a 31 course handicap!
This is an amazing opportunity for amateurs like myself, it would be a life time experience to be chosen to play with the Pros. All the best golfers!
I would love to play in these events.
Would like to play in comp , my handicap is low & to improve is going to take months if not years therefore I find it unfair for me to be expected to improve overnight .
