CALLAWAY HANDICAP SCORING for Mare Island Golf Course

The Callaway Method applies a one-time handicap that's actually based upon a player's score for the event.
Now this may sound very strange and seemingly impossible to do. But in practice, Callaway actually works
very well when formal and established handicaps are simply unavailable.

Here's how it works:
As each player turns in a score card for the round, an official scorer utilizes a "Callaway Table" to determine each golfer's net score for the round.

1. "Adjusted Gross" No player may score more than a Double-Par on any hole.

2. To avoid sandbagging, do not use the 17th and 18th holes when selecting the highest scoring holes.

3. Subtract the highest scoring holes as per the handicap table. Round off 1/2 numbers upwards.

4. From the total, add or subtract as per H'CAP ADJUST from the bottom row on the table.

5. The total will be the players NET SCORE.

6. Tie for the lowest net score is won by the player with the lowest gross score.

EXAMPLE - Player shoots 94 which is ajusted to 93
