The Committee has agreed to adopt a Golf Australia recommendation that that any player whose GA Handicap has reverted to provisional status (as per Section 14(iii)) will not be eligible to win a prize in a competition or to win a competition.
A handicap will lose its full status in the event that a player should accrue in their most recent 20 Actual Scores (ie their list of Live Scores) five or more entries with a status of ‘No Score – Not Approved’. Such a handicap will be known as a “Provisional GA Handicap”.
Members should continue to enter competitions, while they have a Provisional Handicap, to accumulate enough valid Actual Scores to ensure that they have less than 5 ‘No Score - Not Approved’ rounds, and therefore restore their Handicap to full status.
