the remaining member of the team may select her own
replacement as long as the replacement’s Handicap
Index is acceptable.

eighteen-hole score for each player. The CWDGA
Handicap Chair will post all tournament scores.
These scores will be entered as “T” scores. The
Rules of Golf govern all CWDGA competitions as
