Most Improved Player

The recommended method for determining a golf club’s most improved player at the end of a season, year or custom date range is as follows:

The Committee may determine that they will only consider a player who has at least 20 scores in the scoring record. Add 12 to the player’s Handicap Index at the start date. The number 12 is used to provide a consistent value for all players being evaluated. This value is A. Add 12 to the player’s Handicap Index at the end date. This value is B.

Divide value A by value B, calculating to three decimal places. This is the improvement factor. The player with the highest improvement factor is the most improved player.

Example for Most Improved Player

Starting Handicap Index:	24.3
Ending Handicap Index:	16.2
Value A:	24.3 + 12 = 36.3
Value B:	16.2 + 12 = 28.2
A / B:	36.3 / 28.2 = 1.287…
Improvement Factor:	1.287

Important Note: Players who had a Handicap Index adjustment (reset, frozen, withdrawn) during the selected date range should not be eligible for the most improved player.
