Rulings
Be prepared to make common rulings such a ground under repair or penalty area drops on your own.

phone. You might download and use the USGA rules app. No rules official will be on the course.
Sorry, this is a COVID year and not as we hoped it would be.
Handicaps and Flights
Because of net scoring this year, we are trying our best to get the most accurate Handicap Indexes
(HI) for players while still providing tournament information to you in a timely manner. Thus,
WOSGA updated player handicap indexes as of 9/19/2020 at noon. Cathy Jefferson and Shirley
Vaughn verified HI and calculated Course Handicaps for Piqua Country Club using the USGA
Handicap Calculator/System. Your Course Handicap is listed on the attached spreadsheet and
replaces the previously attached information about your handicap for this event. Because handicaps
have been adjusted, your placement into a flight may have changed as well. Please review your
handicap and flight information and if you have any questions, please contact Cathy Jefferson at
(937) 750-5676 no later than 5:00 PM on Sunday Sept. 20. No changes to your handicap will be
made after this time.
