Basically just laziness on BREC's part.

except at places like BREC courses that just make the par 5's the 1-4 HDCP holes, the par 4's 5-14, and the par 3's 15-18.

Are you sure BREC did this on purpose? Not saying you're wrong, but that sounds strange. Most people don't understand how course holes are handicapped. It's figured out by the disparity in scores between low and high handicap players. The #1 handicap hole has the biggest difference between low and high handicap players (i.e., a scratch player is likely to make 4 or 5 on a par 5, but a 20 hdcp is likely to make 7 or 8), the #18 hdcp has the lowest disparity (i.e., a scratch is likely to make 3 or 4 on a difficult par 3 while a 20 hdcp will make 4 or 5). My club goes through this exercise every 2-3 years, and right now the par 5s are 1, 2, 4, and 5; and the par 3s are 14, 16, 17, and 18. It makes sense if you understand how the course is handicapped.

Nope. You just have to have a “home” course. It can be a public course like Santa Maria.

There’s a fee that goes to the LGA so it’s best to do it in person.

Someone explain this to me like a 10 year old:
If I am getting 14 strokes from a certain set of tees on my home course, I am to record max triple bogey(net double bogey) for handicap holes 1-14, and record max double bogey for handicap holes 15-18?

That’s correct.

Look in your email when they send you the revisions.

You add your stroke holes to the double bogey.

Double bogey is max score for everyone + stroke holes.

If you are a 1 cap and make a triple on the hardest hole, you take a triple.


From what I understand.
