HANDICAPS:               Chicago is based on a quota system, where each golfer is given a quota based on their course handicap. The quota of points is determined by the following formula: 36 - Course Handicap

 

As an example, a golfer with a 1 handicap would have a quota of 35 points, while a golfer with a 20 handicap would have a quota of 16. The winner of the Chicago match is the player whose point total for 18 holes most exceeds his quota (some golfers play that if no one exceeds their quota, the winner is the golfer who comes the closest)

 

Note that points are based on gross scores (not handicap adjusted). Your handicap is taken into account when calculating your quota. Also note that the number of points in your quota is 3 more than the points you would receive if you shot your handicap by scoring pars or higher.
