Formerly known as The Horrible Shot Cup Golf Holiday

It all began in 1994 when tournament founder, John Bechtel, and 3 of his college buddies went to North Myrtle Beach for a Golf Holiday. Little did they know that all these years later, the tournament would boast fields of up to 32 participants competing for The Horrible Shot Cup and Terrible Swing Plate.

The McKees Rocks MASTERS is a 54 hole event scored by a modified Stableford system. This system is best for hackers. It rewards them on good holes, but doesn't penalize them for bad holes.

Points are awarded by the following guidelines:

01 point for a net Bogey
02 points for a net Par
04 points for a net Birdie
06 points for a net Eagle
10 points for a net Double Eagle
10 points for a Hole In One

Handicaps will be assigned according to the following guidelines:

Handicap Averages (BEST 2 MB scores & Overall MB AVG) of:

73-74 = 1, 75-76 = 2, 77-78 = 3, 79-80 = 4, 81-82 = 5, 83-84 = 6, 85-86 = 7, 87-88 = 8, 89-90 = 9, 91-92 = 10, 93-94 = 11, 95-96 = 12, 97-98 = 13, 99-100 = 14, 101-102 = 15, 103-104 = 16, 105-106 = 17, 107-108 = 18, 109-110 = 19, 111+ = 20

Handicaps will be adjusted daily according to points earned.

Hcps will be decreased 4 for previous rd pts of 32+
Hcps will be decreased 3 for previous rd pts of 30, 31
Hcps will be decreased 2 for previous rd pts of 28, 29
Hcps will be decreased 1 for previous rd pts of 26, 27

Hcps will be increased 1 for previous rd pts of 19, 18
Hcps will be increased 2 for previous rd pts of 17, 16
Hcps will be increased 3 for previous rd pts of 15, 14
Hcps will be increased 4 for previous rd pts of 13 or under

NOTE: Adjustments can take a player to the other side of 0.  That player would receive (+1) to their score, beginning with the 18hcp hole. 

HCP AVERAGES are based on an AVERAGE of 4 values.  It's your BEST 3 scores in MB over the past 5 years AND your MB Overall AVG.  Minimum 10 scores for BEST 3.  9 or less use BEST 2 + 1 Dummy

Rookies will have a Myrtle Beach Average assigned to them that reflects their ability. Rookies that play in the Tuesday Golf League will have their HCP Average tabulated using scores from Quicksilver.

Once your HCP AVERAGE is determined, we will subtract 72 then cut that number in half.  This will be your HCP for this Modified Modified Stabbleford Event.  For example:  If your HCP AVERAGE is determined to be 90, we will subtract 72 to get 18.  Then we will cut that in half to 9.  That is your HCP for this event.  We use this system to limit the amount of strokes given to everybody.
