Club Handicap Competition

[lovegolf16]

just tried to look it up myself but didnt find anything..  Is it in general allowed that in a tournament flight 1 player just plays a normal round  without score, meaning no handicap variation.. 

cheers

In some tournaments the organizers like to have an equal number of players in each group.  For example, our City Championship plays in 3-ball groups.  On the last day, it was just me and another hacker playing in the lead group for the 2nd Flight.  They assigned us a 3rd player so we would not fly around the course.  The extra player was not part of the tournament and just played along with us so we would be a 3-ball like every other group.

I play out of 2 different clubs and also play in 2 tournament leagues.  It is a bit different in the 2 tournament leagues.  Those have 1st flight thru 3rd or 1st thru 6th.  In those, every flight gets whatever handicap they play 2.  1st flight in one of those leagues has a +2 handicap player.  

At the 2 clubs I play out of, the MGA/SMGA at those has a Championship Flight and then usually 4 other flights.  Players in the Championship flight (generally +handicappers thru 3 or 4 handicappers play scratch.  Then the other flights get handicap based upon their handicap index.
