| Questions from Clubs |
| Q: What is the goal of having this interclub league (fun or competition?) |
| A: The concept speaks to both fun and competition |
| Q: How are clubs selecting the team? |
| A: Depending on the size of the club it may be simply finding 8 players that are available, which in a clubs first year will be a harder task than hopefully in future years. Remember there is a defined time between these matches and not everyone will be able to make those times. |
| Q: Is there a defined gross/net division handicap split? |
| A: No, and that would be difficult to achieve based on club dynamics and each club can decide those dynamics for themselves |
| Q: Is there a gender requirement for team composition? |
| A: Currently, this a a Male Event, There is already many women's interclubs in in many of our Ohio Regions |
| Q: Would it be possible to have an ABCD league which will allow more broad participation? |
| A: Anything is possible, but in 2018 and in 2019 the format has already been decided upon. Remember, the format for the event is a Two Person Better Ball Match Play (USGA Term FourBall) and in the Net Division the lowest player in each match will play at 0, the rest of the players in that Match will then subtract that course handicap from theirs and receive the difference for their Match. We have found this is a great format for all Higher Handicap Players, not just the 10's but also the 20's. |
| Q: How are Handicaps in the Net Matches Applied |
| A: After the Course Handicap of all four players is determined, then 80% will be applied. The Course Handicap of the player with the lowest handicap plays from scratch. Each of the three other players is allowed 100 percent of the difference. (See Decisions 9-4a/2). |
