About Ptarmigan Course Handicap

The Ptarmigan Men's Golf Association (PMGA) has devised a system to promote fair competition among its members for golf at Ptarmigan Country Club. The PMGA has created a Ptarmigan Course Handicap (PCH) for all players using one of the following criteria:

1. GHIN Index - All scores posted to GHIN (average of the lowest 8 out of the last 20 scores).
2. Blue Tee Index (BTI) - All Ptarmigan scores from the Blue Tees (average of the lowest 8 out of the last 20 scores).
3. Competition Tournament Index (CTI) - All PMGA tournaments or other organized competitive scores (average of the lowest 8 out of the last 20 scores).
4. Low Handicap Index (LHI) - computed and tracked by GHIN. This is the lowest handicap index that a player had during the previous 12 months.

The player's PCH will be the lowest index of the GHIN, BTI, or CTI calculations. If a player does not have at least 12 scores at Ptarmigan, then the PCH value will be their LHI.

The PCH App will allow PMGA members to log in and show their current playing index. It will show the dates and scores of all entries used to compute the index and will allow any player to see the PCH value for any other member.
