Flighted Golf Tournaments: Equipment, Skills, and Fair Play

Related Topics: Golf Tournaments

Ever wondered how golfers of varying skill levels compete fairly in the same tournament? The answer lies in flighted golf.

This unique format ensures that players are grouped with others of similar abilities, creating a level playing field and enhancing the competitive experience for everyone involved.

Flighted golf tournaments typically divide participants into flights based on their handicap index or course handicap.

For example, golfers with a handicap of 0 to 5 might be placed in Flight A, while those with a handicap of 26 and above could find themselves in Flight D.

This method not only fosters fair competition but also keeps the game exciting and engaging for all players.
