Sounds like a good organization. My post is to just clear up one
nit picky thing from your post in case folks wish to compete from different tees.
You calculate your handicap for a given tee box using the
slope rating as you describe (HC Index times slope divided by 113 = handicap),
BUT and this is the part folks miss....
If you are competing from different tees or men are competing against women, you then
ADJUST your handicap using the
COURSE rating.
The person playing the tee with the higher course rating gets more strokes as described by these cartoon characters
USGA: Snoopy playing from different tees
PS. looks like MISGA references that in their appendix
