REGISTRATION NOW OPEN FOR 2024
*No purchase necessary. Limit one (1) entry per person. Open to all active Mass Golf members. This registration closes at (11:59 pm) Eastern Daylight Time (“EDT”) on (May 31, 2024) for receipt of all entries. Terms and conditions apply, please see full terms and conditions below.
The USGA’s recommended method for determining the most improved golfer will be used. The method is as follows:
Add 12 to the player’s Handicap Index at the start date. This value is A.
Add 12 to the player’s Handicap Index at the end date. This value is B.
Divide value A by value B, calculating to three decimal places. This is the improvement factor. The player with the highest improvement factor should receive the most improved player award.
Example: Starting Handicap Index: 24.3
Ending Handicap Index: 16.2
Value A: 24.3 + 12 = 36.3
Value B: 16.2 + 12 = 28.2
A / B: 36.3 / 28.2 = 1.287
Improvement factor: 1.287
Ties will be determined by extending beyond three decimal places until a winner is determined.
Example: Player A Improvement Factor (IF): 1.134 (Beg. Index = 15.1, End Index = 11.9)
Player B Improvement Factor (IF): 1.134 (Beg. Index = 31.3, End Index = 26.2)
Player A Expanded IF: 1.1339
Player B Expanded IF: 1.1335
Player A’s IF is larger by .0004 making them the winner.
