Is a specific handicap index required to join? Yes, a USGA/IGA handicap index is required

Can I still join if I don’t have a USGA/IGA handicap? Yes, we’ll set you up with the IGA to get a membership upon registering. Those joining the tour without an established handicap will be flighted separately. Once you’ve established 3 rounds (54 holes) a handicap will begin to trend. The SVGT uses the same USGA/WHS (fewer than 20 rounds) chart seen here: (Calculation of Handicap Index)

How will the tour ensure scores are properly attested? Members will be required to play each round with at least one other IGT member to properly attest scores. There will be special attestation rules in place for major events & playoffs where playing with a new attester is required. The IGT also utilizes Cap Patrol, a handicap committee management and peer-review system designed to promote fair and honest play for everyone

Establishing handicap - new members who come in without a handicap will play at a 0 until 3 rounds (54 holes) are posted to your IGA account, a handicap will then begin to trend & you’ll be placed into a flight based on said handicap
