Questions

What is a handicap index?

It is a number that shows a golfer's skill level. A lower number means a stronger golfer. We use it to place players in the right flight. If you don't have an official one, your best estimate is fine.

Do I need a partner to apply?

No. Apply on your own and tick "pair me with one" under the optional fields. We will match you with another golfer.

How do I pay the $100 entry?

Nothing is charged on this website. After you apply, we contact you to confirm your spot and explain how to pay.

Who is hosting?

The Spirit Cup is hosted by World Evangelical Center at Harlem Valley Golf Club.

See you on the first tee, May 22.
