v “In the Money” that week?  Points always follow the money

θ Example: If you normally play GROSS and happen to win NET dollars, you will get NET points if you choose to go that way.

θ Use your INDEX to calculate your HANDICAP for the tees you play; your handicap is used to calculate your team score.  

v IF YOU DON’T KNOW HOW TO SCORE IT THAT NIGHT, PLEASE ASK
