10 / 10 Rule

In 2008, the Walkingstick Mens Club instituted a 10 / 10 rule for team events.

Each team's combined GHIN handicap must be 10 or more and a maximum of 10 strokes between handicaps will be allowed for tournament and day game purposes.

Example: Player A has a 7 handicap, Player B has a 20 handicap. Their combined handicap exceeds 10. However, Player B will only receive a 17 handicap for the tournament.

This rule also applies to any 2009 team events.
