The Peoria System of Handicapping
─────────────────────────────────
The Peoria is a very popular handicap system for use in
the early part of the season when handicaps are not yet
established.
The mechanics of the Peoria are not as complicated as the
Callaway, yet it offers a fair method of handicapping the
unhandicapped. The most important part of the Peoria is
selecting the six holes used in calculating the handicaps.
The six holes should be selected after the field has teed
off. It would not be fair if a player knew them prior to
tee off. Therefore, the computer has a special built in
random numbers generator that will select the six holes
before you start entering the scores from the scorecards.
The Method
──────────
The method to the madness is simple. The six holes selected
by the computer are added together, leaving a total for the
six holes. That total is multiplied by three (3) giving us
a bigger total. We take that bigger total and subtract the
par for the course leaving leaving either a positive number
or a negative number for the handicap. A simple example:
The players six selected holes total = 30 (30 X 3 = 90)
Par is 72, so subtract 90 - 72 = 18 is the handicap
On the other side...
The players six selected holes total = 23 (23 X 3 = 69)
Par is 72, so subtract 69 - 72 = -3 is the handicap
Scores and Ties The Easy Way
────────────────────────────
The scores have proven "accurate" under actual tournament
play and extensive testing. Ties are broken based on the
Peoria score first, and the handicap second. As for the
ties that go beyond the Peoria, they are broken by the
course.
