    Hoping for some advice. Helping run a golf classic in a few weeks time and trying decide how to run it having GUI and non GUI teams. Plan is best 2 scores on each hole from a fourball. when registering teams on the day we're planning on having GUI and non GUI teams with separate prizes but wondering how others handle this.

    Do we need to ask for a membership number to check their handicap for GUI teams?

    If 1/2 members on a team are non-GUI is the whole team in the non-GUI competition? (Yes I assume)

    What's the max handicap we should be giving players without a handicap? (20/24 seems most common)

    The quick one out of the way. Don’t ask for proof; that’s very insulting when the real bandits and cheats are going to be non GUi. Just ask them for the current WHS, then assign them a playing a handicap from the slope.

    ——

    Beyond that there’s no right answers here. As a broad stroke it partly depends on whether you think most players will be GUi or not.

    if they are likely to be majority GUI, then I recommend you limit the non GUI handicap as 20, and play GUi players off competition handicaps

    if it’s mostly teams of casual golfers, bump the minimum up to 24 and play GUi lads off their playing handicaps. Just make the scoring as high as possible.

    If also suggest this: rather than a GUI only prize: have a first prize, and if it’s claimed by a non-GUi team then the next best prize goes to a GUI-only team. If the first prize is claimed by a GUI team, then free for all for second.
