Instructions for Signing Up for a MISGA Mixer

We use the MISGA Sign-Up System designed and maintained by Tom Rowlett

How handicap strokes are calculated for MISGA double best ball events.

We use the USGA rules for double best ball events. First handicap indexes are converted to course handicaps based on the tee boxes being used. Then the course handicaps are adjusted for the differences in the course ratings for each tee and then the 90/95% adjustment is applied as appropriate.

PGA & USGA "Tee It Forward" Initiative Information

Men play at the default WHITE tees and Ladies compete from the ladies’ RED tees. Men may choose to move forward to GOLD or RED tees with the appropriate handicap adjustment. Visiting club players’ lists must be annotated to show those men golfers who want to play from the forward tees. Adjustments may be called in to the pro shop before the day of the event. No adjustments are made on the morning of the event. Visiting clubs are notified of the choice of tees in the annual confirmation letter and in the two-week advance notice sent to each participating club.
