Any member with a 13 HCP thru 16 HCP when calculating the HCP has a choice to be in either A-Flight or B-Flight. Any member with a 17 HCP or higher when calculating the HCP is automatically in B-Flight. All players can tee off where they are comfortable. The course handicap will take this into consideration.
