What is the handicap range for the league?

Do high handicaps compete with the lower handicaps?
Although, everybody plays at the same time, the high handicappers and low handicappers are seperated by "Flights".

What if I don't currently have a handicap?
No handicap, no worries. If you are new to the league, the 1st three rounds will be used to determine your starting AJT handicap.

Will I be penalized for missing a round?
Life happens, People have families, and it is completely understandable if you can't make it to every round. Therefore, to accommodate missed rounds AJT keeps your best 6 PPR (points per round) for the season standings. However, you will miss out on the 3 bonus points that are provided to each player that is present per round.
-
I have a friend who is also in the league, am I able to play with them?
Just like previous years, Friends and family will be able to play together during Rounds 1 & 4. Only 2 friends/family per foursome (No exceptions). No worries though, you are bound to meet plenty of new friends along the way.

How are groupings determined for each round?
Groupings for each regular season round are based off handicaps, with the lower handicaps going 1st. This is to assist with keeping the pace of play moving.
-
I have other commitments later on that day, am I able to be put in the 1st group?
Unfortunately, the answer is no with zero exceptions. We understand there are plenty of obligations more important than golf, however it's one of those things that has been taken advantage of in the past.
