TEE TIMES

The flight you are in is determined by your adjusted IESGA index. “Adjusted” means to the course/teebox  we are playing, and “Index” is what we keep for you as best 3 out of 5 scores and is computed out to one decimal point (i.e. 15.7). "Gross" handicaps are always rounded, and therefore an adjusted IESGA index of 17.7 will show as gross 18 handicap.

Using an index that goes out to one decimal point helps us put a more equal number of players in each flight since at certain "break points" we have too many 18 handicappers and need to break off the flight at 17.7 (as an example). 

Please do not get upset if your gross handicap is the same or more than someone in a higher flight, because we are now placing flight D players on a moved up tee box.  For example: if you have a 21 gross handicap and are in Flight C and someone with a 20 gross handicap is in Flight D.  This is caused by the use of indexes and the fact that the D Flight is playing from the forward tees. Example: At Lewiston CC, the slope is 129 for the green tees and 117 for the brick tees. Flight D players with higher indexes end up with a lower gross handicap for that particular moved up tee box.
