OLD RIVER GOLF COURSE and RANGE

CALLAWAY HANDICAP SCORING for Old River Golf Course

The Callaway Method applies a one-time handicap that's actually based upon a player's score for the event.
Now this may sound very strange and seemingly impossible to do. But in practice, Callaway actually works very well when formal and established handicaps are simply unavailable.
Here's how it works:

As each player turns in a score card for the round, an official scorer utilizes
a "Callaway Table" to determine each golfer's net score for the round.

1. "Adjust Gross Score" No player may score more than a Double-Par on any hole.
