1st place – cut 1.0
2nd place – cut 0.7
3rd place – cut 0.5
Rule 3 – Shots Back
Any player scoring less than 36 points at any event will receive shots back as follows, irrespective of their handicap
Less than 33 points – 0.1 shots back

Less than 20 points – 0.3 shots back
Less than 16 points – 0.4 shots back
Some players have a club or WHS or a Spanish Golf Federation handicap. At Golf The Costa we operate our own society handicap system based on the old CONGU system. Sometime this results in a players having a lower handicap than their club or Federation handicap. In other instances the club or Federation handicap is lower.
Our rule is that players MUST play off their Golf the Costa handicap.
Rule 4 – General Play Adjustment
In addition to any cuts, the “General Play Adjustment” will be applied in accordance with Clause 23.7 of the CONGU Unified Handicapping System. This rule can be viewed on this web page:
