As well for the 2012 golf season the RCGA has instituted a new scoring system for handicap purposes. Below is the link to the RCGA website along with a link to the information. Please check it out before inputting any scores for the 2012 Golf season which for Grande Meadows begins on May 1. The RCGA has set May 1 to Oct 31 as the active season for our course. Any and all rounds played on a course with an active season outside these dates should be included for handicap purposes. For example, games played on courses in Florida or Myrtle Beach, SC during the winter should be included for handicap purposes.
