Post Your Outside Scores		Committee Chairpersons
Post here Post non-SRPGA scores only. Do not post SRPGA tournament scores. Do post summer and winter league scores. Remember: Not posting your outside scores can be considered the same as cheating. Procedure for Posting an Outside Score Coming soon. Here's some quick guidelines: Do not enter SRPGA scores (the SRPGA Handicap Committee will do this). Enter only adjusted gross scores (see the table below). Be as timely as possible getting the scores in. Please refer to USGA Handicap System In Brief brochure for further information. Please adjust your score if necessary.

This becomes a negative value when the player scores much better than the player's Handicap Index. Example: A player with a Handicap Index of 10.5 shoots a 74 from a set of tees with a USGA Course Rating of 71.2 and a Slope Rating of 126. (74 - 71.2) = 2.8 x 113 / 126   = 2.5 Handicap Differential 2.5 - 10.5   = - 8.0 Net Differential From the chart, the odds are 4,467 to 1 of this occurring.
