Yes, the league will be handicapped. Players with an active GHIN Handicap Index may submit their current GHIN handicap for league play in their Full Swing Compete profile. Players who do not maintain an active GHIN handicap will be permitted to self-rate their handicap prior to the start of the season. Then the Full Swing Compete League Software uses built-in software to track scores and calculate gross & net handicaps throughout the season. There will be calibration weeks and updates to players’ handicaps throughout the season via the software and based on how they are playing. To promote fair and competitive play, League Coordinators reserve the right to review and adjust any player’s league handicap at any time throughout the season if their performance consistently falls outside the expected range of their submitted or self-rated handicap. All handicap adjustments will be made at the discretion of League Coordinators and are intended to maintain competitive balance and the integrity of league play. While no handicap system can completely eliminate sandbagging or inaccurate reporting, the league will address clear or repeated discrepancies when appropriate.

Handicaps will be set either by your GHIN handicap, or by coming in before the league starts to set your simulator handicap through the Full Swing Compete software. Failure to have a handicap set before league play will result in playing as a 0.0 handicap (scratch golfer) until adjustment weeks happen.

Each player’s score is automatically recorded through Full Swing Compete when they complete their weekly round. Team scores and league standings are automatically calculated and updated each week based on the players’ scores. All scores are tracked throughout the season in the Full Swing Compete platform.
