[oscarfieby]

Hello Sand Trap memebrs. I am a new members and desparately seeking for help. We will have a golf tournament next month. I am looking for answer for my questions. How to calculate the winner for a golf tournamet that using flighting system.

Flight A is 15 and under and Flight B is 15 and up. Its a par 71 golf course.

I heart that people can get disqualified by choosing the the wrong flight. For example.. a single handicap play on the Flight B.

I appreciate for your help.

Welcome to The Sand Trap.

First, I would make sure you use your official GHIN handicap which follows the USGA rules.

Second, you can always call the people who are setting up the tournament to see if there are any special rules about handicaps and which flight you should enter. I would think you'd just apply, present your handicap, and they would put you in the correct flight.

Calculating the winner depends on the tournament format. Is it match play, stroke play, stableford, ect...? There is no way to predict the winner though.

Thank s for your quick respond.

the format will be a stroke play. Based on a gross score.
