The Huron Expositor, 1983-06-29, Page 9spbng Regular golfers should always use a handic THE HURON EXPOSITOR, JUNE 29, 1983 — A9 As I discuss last week, the use of hasidica s can make the game oo1�Fgolf a lot more fun for many players. It is easy to establish a handicap when . you play regularly. All you havd to do is record all your scores In the order that the ' were played and by ushig the differentials (scoreless course rating), and the han- dice tables a handicap can be established. T course rating's not ne rily the same a "par for the course". Some courses that have the same par, will have different rat- mgs. The course rating is Ocvdt@ gQ l y Camllanact 0 o OQ essentially the degree of difficulty of the course. Thus a course like Glen Eagle in Bolton which has a par of 72 and our own local course with the same par, have different ratings. Glen Eagle is 71, Seaforth's is 67. The course rating is estab- lished by a rating committee which visits every course and assesses the difficulty based on the ability of a scratch or UUg zero handicap golfer. The main criteria is length, there- fore long courses generally have the highest rating. However, other factors aro taken into consideration. Topography is considered along with fairway width, size of greens, the number, size and location of bunkers, trees, and water hazards, Teen program starts in July "A" CHAMPS—Colin Young congratulates John Feeney, representative of the Queen's Hotel softball team which won $100 after beating the Turf Club with a score of 9-8. The Turf Tub won $50 as the runner-up In the Seaforth Men's Recreational Softball League Tourriament last weekend at the Lions Carnival. For 50c a day, teens in Seaforth can participate in more than 15 activities for eight weeks during the summer. Summer Fun '83 for Teens is open to boys and girls aged i3 to 17 and costs only 115 if you register fpr the whole summer. Events will be heir1 at the arena, the high school, the pool and park and include activities such as table tennis, volleyball, trivial pursuit, swimming, and baseball. The program starts July 4 and ends August 26. You can register before July 4 at the recreation office or pay 50c each time you participate. and even the length the grass is cut on alrwa , rough, tees and greens. The committee will consider whe- ther or not the fairways are watered, as unirrigated fair- ways cause the course to play much shorter in the dry summer months. As you can see, even though you may go around the course an even par 72 in your handicap would really be 5, not 0 at the local course where the degree of difficulty or rating is 67. FIND OUT For those of us who like to visit other courses it's wise to find out the rating and hand in the proper differential for handicapping at your home course. All scores can be used and this will make your handicap more accurate as you won't always have the advantage of local, know- ledge. Once you have a handicap you will be able to play for net prizes in tournaments. You'll also have more fun in friendly games, and club matches. Next Week_we`U look at hai Bicap tires in tournaments and also at the casual handicap system, and stroke control. NINE HOLE Nearly 30 ladies were out on June 20 to enjoy , the 9 -hole competition.
