Handicaps will be available at every tournament for review and also upon request of the Flight Chairman. The CVGA Tournaments are played as a handicapped stroke tournaments, divided into 5 flights according to individual handicap determined by utilizing the 7 best of the last 14 scores, on the rating of the course, and 96% of the differential of the scores used.

First time golfers must provide proof of a handicap of 5 or greater either with a USGA or WSGA card or with written proof of home course handicap, signed by the club pro or owner. When an established CVGA player’s CVGA handicap has fallen less than 5 for all ratings to be played and/or as determined by the Rules/Handicap Committee, the player will be eligible to play two more tournaments. If at the conclusion of the two tournaments the handicap is still below the allowed handicap the player will not be eligible to play any further flight tournaments until he raises the handicap to 5 or above.
