Temporary Course Rating and Slope Rating

If the Competition Committee has, at its discretion, used a combination of tees for a one-time event, a Course Rating and Slope Rating must be available to post an acceptable score for handicap purposes. Under this circumstance, the Committee may use Appendix G from the Rules of Handicapping to determine a temporary Course Rating and Slope Rating without AGA involvement. However, this procedure is not a substitute for a formal Course Rating and Slope Rating. If such a combination is utilized long-term, then a request must be sent to the AGA for the issuance of formal Ratings.

Before using Appendix G for a competition, it is important for the Committee to consider the following:

• If the combination of tees results in less than a 100-yard difference from an existing Rated tee, then no adjustment is necessary, and
• If the combination of tees results in more than a 300-yard difference from an existing Rated tee, or if the length of a hole has been modified significantly (which could significantly change the way the hole is played), the AGA must be contacted for support.
