STROKE-PLAY HANDICAPS ARE COMPUTED AFTER SCORES FROM THE PREVIOUS ROUND HAVE BEEN ENTERED AND HANDICAP INDEXES HAVE BEEN RECOMPUTED.  ACTUAL HANDICAPS ARE BASED ON THE HANDICAP INDEX AND THE RATING/SLOPE OF THE TEES USED BY THE INDIVIDUAL.

Stroke-play handicap indexes for returning players were computed following the last stroke-play outing of the previous season.  The initial handicap index for new members will be zero but a valid USGA handicap may be used if the member has one.  After a new member has completed two rounds of stroke play, he/she will have an NIHGA handicap index based on the scores from those first two rounds.
