I would say you have to ask the folks running the tournament. Depending on the type of the tournament, their priority should be to protect the field. For many years I ran a tournament the day after Thanksgiving in MA
. It was always a challenge when someone wanted to have a player on their team with no handicap.
I used to ask the question: if you played 5 times, what would be your
best 2 scores?
This is not bowling, your average is irrelevant. Even though the end goal was a fun day my feeling was that I would rather
estimate someone's handicap low that to punish the teams in the field with handicaps.
They will have a whole different challenge than I did as you only play courses that have no rating.
