System 36
System 36 is a same-day handicapping system which allows golfers who do not have a handicap index to play golf tournaments and compete for the titles or prizes in the Net Division. Throughout the round, the golfer accrues points as follows: Double bogey or worse - 0 points. Bogey - 1 point. Par or better - 2 points. At the end of the round, points earned are tallied. The total is subtracted from 36, and the resulting number is the golfer's handicap allowance.
