How is a four-player Texas Scramble handicap calculated?

A common allowance applies 25%, 20%, 15% and 10% to the playing handicaps ordered from lowest to highest, then adds the contributions.

Should the team handicap be rounded?

Rounding and allowance rules can vary by organiser or competition. Confirm the terms published for your event.

What to publish before the golf day

Tell players whether the event uses playing handicaps or another figure, which allowance applies, how the result is rounded and what happens if a team changes. Put the same wording in the player instructions, starter brief and score desk notes so every part of the operation follows one rule.

Keep the rest of the scramble paperwork together

A handicap figure is only one part of the day. The complete GolfDayPack can turn your event, player and sponsor information into pairings, a registration sheet, shotgun-start assignments, signage, results pages and an organiser run sheet.
