As do I. This should create common ground – thanks Rules.

SOGAGG,
The following is from “Rules,” so it is dry and complex. Such is life
sometimes.
I have attached a couple of files. The .docx file defines handicap index,
course rating, and slope rating. The .xlsx file provides my proposed
assignment of handicap indexes for SOGAGG players.
What and why. We need an equitable method for determining course handicaps for
members competing during our events. If everyone had a USGA / GHIN / SCGA
handicap index, we could just use that. Unfortunately, not everyone does. So,
I’ve used the scores we made during the latest Las Vegas trip to calculate
indexes for those that played. I used the scores recorded, adjusted these
using equitable stroke control, used the USGA method for calculating handicap
indexes using those scores, and took the lower of that index or an established
SCGA index for those that have them. I listed that number under “SOGAGG INDEX.”
For those members who don’t play enough golf elsewhere to justify maintaining
an SCGA (e.g.) index, I would be pleased to maintain the current process. Just
send me any scorecards (preferably via email) from games that you play, whether
as part of SOGAGG or elsewhere. Past outings are fine.
Survey Monkey:
A. OK.
B. No way in hell!
Warm Regards,
