  • 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.

    To check membership status and join, call Kelly/Debbie on 0345 466 2222.  The subscription fee is £40 for 12 months from the day of joining.

  • Buggies & Trolleys

    Buggy use at Anfi Golf is mandatory and will be arranged and covered by the organisers for all competitors. Any additional buggies (e.g. for non-golfers) can be arranged and paid for directly in the pro shop.

    At Meloneras and Maspalomas, buggies and trolleys are optional and available for hire on the day.

    Maspalomas is generally walkable for most players. Meloneras is a more demanding walk and a buggy is recommended.

    If you would like a buggy or trolley pre-booked at Meloneras or Maspalomas, please contact the office as early as possible.

    Buggy requests will be prioritised for players with medical requirements, followed by a first come, first served basis. Availability cannot be guaranteed.
