Q: We are running a 4-Ball Net tournament and not all of our players have a Handicap Index. How can I handicap the players without a Handicap Index?

A: If you are managing a round with players who have a Handicap Index and some player without a Handicap Index, and would like to Handicap all players, you may want to consider using our Day Handicaping Feature.

Using our Day Handicaping feature, handicap players in a NET event that do not have and Handicap Index follow these instructions:

  1. Go to Event/League Profile > Handicap Setting > Course Handicap.

  2. Select "Yes" for the question "Do you want to use a Day Handicapping for players that do not have a Handicap Index" (as shown below).

  3. Select the Handicap method you want to use using the drop down. You will have the following options:

  4. Click "Save."

  5. Create your tournament using a Net Format.

  6. Enter Scores.

Note: Playing Handicaps will not be calculated till the round is completed. Once all scores are entered for a player, the Playing Handicap will be calculated and applied to the players score. If using a Handicap Allowance, this will also be applied to the player that had a Playing Handicap calculated using the Day Handicapping feature.
