MA Golf public course championship used to be a 16 index max for qualification, now is down to 11 if i recall correctly. We are in a MA Golf couples tournament and the index cutoff is 24 i think, with the index at the time of signup. . CoachK was won several local tournaments with an accurate GHIN with her net score, by having a great day vs her index.

so getting to the lower GHIN level, by whatever means, allows for qualification to enter. does not guarantee anything beyond that of course. . and there is no one in danger of losing to us at the couples tournament. . we are going because I have played corp tournaments with CoachK, but I want to play one real tournament with CoachK before I can't play any longer.
