GAM Handicap Department Announces:
2013 Handicap Certification Seminar Schedule
The GAM Handicap Department is pleased to announce the 2013 GAM/USGA Handicap Certification seminar series. As you are probably aware, the USGA has mandated that each course/club that administers the GAM/USGA Handicap System have at least one certified member by December 2015. These seminars are geared for anyone who wants to know more about the USGA Handicap System – from the novice to the well-seasoned veteran of the System.
Note: The Seminar is open to the Public
Reminder: PGA Members receive 4.0 CE hours for attending.
The seminars will consist of a PowerPoint presentation highlighting the content of the USGA Handicap System Manual. There will also be frequent opportunities for open discussions about common situations that may arise at your club. At the end of the presentation, an open book quiz will be administered.
Major topics at each seminar will include:
- Players competing from different tees
- Adjusting hole scores and Equitable Stroke Control
- The Handicap Committee and its responsibility
- Handicap competitions and allowances
The schedule for each seminar is as follows:
- 8:30 a.m. – 8:55 a.m. Registration
- 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. Seminar and open book quiz
- 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. Buffet lunch
