The Peoria Handicap System Enables Everyone a Chance to Win
Golf4Good employs the Peoria Handicap System, a long-accepted, one-day handicapping system that works well in golf events in which most of the players participating lack real handicap indexes.
Before the events, the golf course pro selects six holes, typically two par threes, two par fours, and two par fives. Often each par pair is split so that one is located on the front nine holes, and the other is located on the back nine. During the event, neither competitors nor event committee members know the locations of any of the six selected Peoria holes.
Event teams tee off and complete their rounds, playing a four-man scramble format. A bogey is the highest score on each hole. This means that four is the maximum score for a par three, five is the maximum score on a par four and six for a par five.
Following event completion, the event officials announce the six Peoria hole locations. The course pro will determine team Peoria handicaps and net scores which will be posted in the dinning room.
Rules of Play
USGA rules govern play except where local rules prevail.
| Prevailing Local Rules |
|
| Courtesy | Fast play makes fast friends. |
| Golf Carts | Follow cart direction at all times. Golfers with a pro-shop-issued handicap flag may drive beyond the cart directional sign but must remain 30 feet from greens and tee boxes. |
| Incomplete Teams | Teams missing a player due to a no-show, odd number of players registered, etc. select a rotation by remaining players. Teams shall rotate members on a per-hole basis to play a second ball. Thus, giving the team four balls in play on each hole. |
| Maintenance | Replace divots. |
| Smooth traps. | |
| Repair ball marks on greens. | |
| Mulligans | Mulligans are “Team Mulligans” and will be available for a donation of $10 each, no more than one per hole may be used per foursome. |
| Players may use a mulligan on any shot to better their shot. | |
| Players may choose to use their original shot if the mulligan shot does not better the original shot. | |
| Paved Cart-Path | If path interferes with stance or swing, drop to nearest relief rather than dropping nearer to the hole. No penalty. |
| Perimeter Fence | Do not cross a perimeter fence to play a ball. |
| Putting | On the green, players must putt within six inches |
| of the selected ball, not nearer the hole. | |
| All scoring putts must be stroked into the hole. | |
| First ball in the hole determines the score. | |
| Scorekeeping | Record gross team scores only. |
| The course golf pro will calculate the Peoria handicaps. | |
| Scramble Format | On each of the 18 tees, each team player hits a tee shot. The team selects one of the tee shots and immediately moves to pick up the balls no longer in play. |
| Then each player, in turn, shall place a ball within one club’s length from where the ball came to rest, not nearer to the hole, and hit his next shot within one club length of the selected ball. The process is repeated after each shot until the ball is in the hole. See “Putting” for procedure on the green. | |
| In determining the club length, players may not change condition of the ball. For example, the ball may not be moved from the rough to fairway, or from inside a hazard or bunker to outside of the hazard or bunker, or from off the green to on the green. | |
| When a team selects a ball on the green, each player on the team will putt from within six inches of the original position of the selected ball. If any member of a team putts a ball into the hole, the hole is completed | |
| Stake Colors | White indicates out of bounds |
| Red indicates lateral water hazard | |
| Yellow indicates water hazard | |
| Teeing Off | Each team must use at least two tee shots |
| from each player on the team. | |
| Tie-Breaker | Ties will be broken by comparing gross and/or net scores in the following order; |
| 1. Back nine total | |
| 2. Front nine total | |
| 3. Match handicap holes one by one until one team has lower handicap holes. The first team to have an advantage in this process wins. | |
