  • Arrival Logistics

    Coming from our Pattaya Event

    There are two flight options to Phuket International Airport (HKT):

    Via U-Tapao Airport (UTP) — the quickest option. Around 40 km south of Pattaya, a shuttle bus gets you there in about an hour. Thai AirAsia and Bangkok Airways operate the direct 1 hour 40 minute flight to Phuket.

    Via Bangkok — travel into Bangkok (around 2 hours) and fly from either Suvarnabhumi (BKK) or Don Mueang (DMK). More airlines and departure times are available from Bangkok, making it easier to find flights that fit your schedule.


    Flying from the UK

    All UK players arrive into Phuket International Airport (HKT).

    Direct: Virgin Atlantic fly Heathrow–Phuket three times weekly, and TUI operate direct charter flights from Gatwick.

    Connecting: Emirates (via Dubai), Qatar Airways (via Doha), Etihad (via Abu Dhabi), British Airways (via Bangkok), Turkish Airlines (via Istanbul), and Singapore Airlines (via Singapore) all offer one-stop routes.

  • Competition Format

    90-hole Individual Stableford (95% of Course Handicap)

    Handicap Limits: Men – max 24, Women – max 30

    GAGT Order of Merit points awarded for each competition round

  • Handicaps

    Playing Handicaps

    Playing Handicaps will be calculated at 95% of a player's Course Handicap.

    The maximum Playing Handicap for competition purposes is 24 for men and 30 for women. Players whose calculated Playing Handicap exceeds these limits may still compete but will play off the applicable maximum Playing Handicap.

    GAGT Overseas Handicap Adjustment (OHA) System

    GAGT operates an Overseas Handicap Adjustment (OHA) system to promote fairness and consistency across its overseas competitions.

    The system is based on the CONGU handicap adjustment format used prior to the introduction of the World Handicap System (WHS).

    Following each round, a player's OHA may be reduced according to their Stableford score and applicable handicap category.

    The OHA system only permits handicap reductions. Handicaps will never be increased under this system, regardless of a player's score.

    OHA adjustments apply exclusively to GAGT competition purposes and do not affect a player's official Handicap Index maintained by their home club.

    The GAGT OHA system takes precedence over any adjustments made by a player's home club during the event.

    How the OHA System Works

    Following each round, players scoring more than 36 Stableford points will receive a handicap reduction based on the number of points scored above 36 and their current OHA handicap category.

    The following reduction rates apply for each Stableford point scored above 36:

    Current OHA Handicap Category = Reduction per Point Above 36
    1–5 = 0.1
    6–12 = 0.2
    13–20 = 0.3
    21–28 = 0.4
    29–36 = 0.5

    The player's updated OHA following each round will determine their handicap category for the next round. Any subsequent reductions will be calculated using that updated category.

    Example

    A player with an OHA of 16.0 scores 40 Stableford points.

    - Stableford score: 40 points
    - Points above 36: 4
    - Handicap category: 13–20
    - Reduction rate: 0.3 per point
    - Total reduction: 1.2

    The player's OHA will reduce from 16.0 to 14.8 for the next round.

    All subsequent adjustments will be calculated using the player's updated OHA.

    No OHA increase will be applied following a score of 36 Stableford points or fewer.
