The Pattaya Sports Club realizes the need for most members to have a handicap regardless of his or her level of skill. Membership in the PSC entitles each member to be handicapped under the USGA system. To obtain a new handicap, a player has to have played in 5 recognized P.S.C. Golf Venues and have their card signed by the ‘Event Organizer’ – Venues: Cafe Kronburg, Beaver Bar, Sugar Shack, The Bunker, The Bowling Green, Angkana House, German/Swiss Bar, Phoenix Tuesday Group, Rich Man Poor Man, Three Sisters, Tropical Bert's, Outback Golf Bar, Diana Inn,  PJ Pool Bar, Chums Bar, The Golf Bar, Mulligans, Lewiinskis & all recognised IPGC venues.

Players are not eligible to win any PSC tournament until 20 cards have been submitted or a current recognized handicap card is produced from elsewhere.

It should be noted that due to the great number of members in the PSC, it is necessary to suppress the “printing” of members who have not submitted a score in over 3 months. It is incumbent of all USGA members to submit their scorecards after every round – including competition and non competition rounds Home or Abroad (USGA Handicap System 2002- 2005, Section 5.1)

Failure to do so may incur penalty shots being deducted from their last handicap.

The Pattaya Sports Club maintains only USGA handicaps for its members. The PSC is recognized by the United States Golf Association (USGA) and, as such, has authority to issue USGA handicaps. Members with a USGA handicap, who require proof of their handicap for outside competitions, may request a “Handicap Card” by contacting the Pattaya Sports Club Clubhouse at (038)361-167 (038)361-167 or by e-mail: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or fax: (038)361-929.

USGA HANDICAP UPDATES

Updated revisions of USGA Handicaps are posted on the weekend every week. However, players will be reviewed under Rule Section 10-3 with regard to "Handicap reduction based on exceptional Tournament Scores". If a player's handicap has been reduced under this rule, his adjusted handicap will be posted immediately. I cannot stress strongly enough that all scores must be returned. Failure to do so will result in a member being declared ineligible for competition until such deficiency is cured.

USGA GUIDELINES

Outline of USGA System – It is looking at your last 20 scores only and is calculating your handicap from, essentially, the lowest ten scores of those twenty. You must submit the score from every round of golf you play. As you enter a new score, the score that was 20th previously drops off, and so on. In summary, USGA is rating you on your current form (i.e. your last twenty scores).

If you need any additional information on the above, or have any other questions regarding handicaps or golf in Pattaya please do not hesitate to contact the Pattaya Sports Club, and either I, or another member of the Golf Committee will respond to you. E-mail ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) is the best way to ensure a prompt response.
