Match Committee April 2019

This event is a variation of the Individual Par competition, where players allocate their full handicap to each hole however they like. In this Bisque Par competition, players will determine their handicap stroke allocation for a hole after playing that hole (and mark that allocation on the score card at that time). The allocation of handicap strokes will obviously cease once the player’s full handicap has been used. The game is then played as an Individual Par competition, and scored in the same fashion.
