Count me in. I'll be an active participant.

I have an official usga handicap through Diablogolf.com. Can I use this or do I need something else?

The US Handicap site requires us to use the handicap provided by the USGA thru their site. It won't allow us to use other sites indexes.

Can't wait to hear more about this. Just don't understand why GHIN handicaps are not allowed as most usga groups now use ghin.

Just how the site is set up. Nothing we can do about it.

Stupid Ohio weather is preventing from doing this now but will definantly start participating when spring comes around. This is an excellent idea and cant wait to follow along until I can get started.

Its a feature that US Handicap offers their members. Sort of like the Albatross Club feature here. If you want to be eligible for invitationals, you need to be AC. For the virtual tournaments at US Handicap, you need to be a member is all. I actually chose to leave Diablo to go to USH. I was very happy with Diablo, but wanted to support something that THP offered. I know it was the right decision now seeing the potential fun that can be had with virtual tour events and keeping up with each others ups and downs.

Just my .02 though and I don't think anyone would want anyone else to feel pressured to do anything at all. Just passing along info!

The us handicap Thp tournament. I've some questions.

A usga handicap is what we need? Will the Thp handicap suffice? Will my CDGA handicap suffice since they report to usga?

My apologies if this has been asked can't read a thread ATM. :what:

Love this idea. I am all over this. With the size of the DFW crew, should not be a problem finding others to play with.

No worries Zenger bro, the THP handicap thru US Handicap is what we'll use for vTour events.
Sorry there site doesn't recognize other handicap services thru other sites/clubs even if they are USGA indexes.

I wish I knew a way to make it work so any index would work, but it won't as long as we use the US Handicap site
to host/run the tournaments. Hope this helped man.

So only those using the handicap service on the site are able to participate? Just clarifying.

Correct, to play/compete in the vTour events, you must have a handicap thru the site plus be a albatross member.

Bigtazz,
I'm looking forward to our inaugural vTournament.
Sorry if I missed it. Do you have a rough guess of when this series will kick off?
