Penultimate Handicap Report

After finally acceding to the repeated requests (sic) of the future AI-X Champion and making the championship a net event, the AI Handicap Committee has consistently struggled to assign proper handicaps. There is one player who has an actual up-to-date USGA handicap; another player used to have one and has posted scores fairly reliably, although an entire year is missing; a third plays regularly but is too cheap to pony up the $30 to establish a true number while the fourth player has to look back to the early 1980's to come up with the requisite 20 scores.

So. So what? So this. The Committee has enlisted the help of the Bay Hill Golf Professional staff and has come up with the following handicaps for the AI-XIV field - based primarily on AI scores but with other factors added in to insure a lack of fairness and integrity in this year's competition.

Here, then, are the final handicaps for AI-XIV (with the exception of Burke, who will receive an update on 3/1):

REIFSNYDER: 24
BAUER: 23
HEIMSCH: 16
BURKE: 12
