POLICIES FOR INVITING GUESTS

Members are allowed to invite up to 3 guests to compete in any 417GC tournament except the Club Championship and the Tournament of Champions. The tournament fees and optional Skins fees will be paid by the member when they register their guests. A member can edit their registration at any time to add or remove a guest. Club cancellation policies will apply. Each guest may play in as many as 3 tournaments in a given season. After participating in 3 tournaments the guest will need to become a regular member of the 417 Golf Club in order to continue to compete.

 

HANDICAPS FOR GUESTS

Guests without an official GHIN will be assigned a Club Index by the tournament director or play to scratch until they can establish a handicap by completing 3 rounds of 18 holes of golf. Guests with an official GHIN will be assigned a club index for their first 3 tournaments equal to half their handicap and then club policies for full handicap will apply. These rules are the same for members as well as guests. Finally, from the USGA Handicap manual, there's this: If the Handicap Committee believes that the player's potential ability is different than the Handicap Index calculated from scores, it is authorized to adjust the player's Handicap Index.
