Jai & Veeru Ki Dosti

GM. Welcome to the IAGT Tour. After you complete the tour, I promise you that we will all be buddies like Jai & Veeru, singing the song….

The only difference is, there is no “Teri Jeet Meri Jeet” (translation Jeet = Victory; your victory is my victory and my victory is yours). Naa…in this tour…it’s all your JEET!!

Now to make the JEET fair, we need your most recent official golf handicaps. If you are a member of CDGA/USGA/GHIN, just take a screenshot of your handicap index and send it along

Now, if you don’t have an official handicap but have been using APPS like, 18Birdies, Grint, or other digital tools, that predict your handicap, we will honor their “indicative” handicap. Need a screenshot for proof

Now, if you are still reading this, it means both of us are in trouble. You probably have not been tracking your scores. This puts both of us in an awkward spot…like Jai talking to Mausi for Veeru’s Marriage

But unlike Veeru, head or tails, we don’t leave our friends behind. We got you covered. First, remember the last 5-10 courses you played and your scores. Make a list of at least 5+ golf rounds. Ask your own Jai/Veeru dosts for input

Once you have the list of the scores, enter them on the Golf Handicap Calculator (https://www.calculator.net/golf-handicap-calculator.html) website to get an indicative handicap. You will need to enter a few details like course slope and rating, which you can easily find on each golf course’s website under the scorecard

If you fall in this last category, we will be marking your handicap for review after each round. We will review and if needed, manually adjust the handicap based on certain pre-defined criteria (e.g., shooting net score of 3 or below, ranking in the top 5 in your flight, etc.). Think of IAGT organizers as Gabbar asking….

Finally, last year we had all our players fill out a “Player’s Tour Card” template that shared their photos with some fun facts. This helps each player to get to know others IAGT members and build friendships….

So, please check your email with the subject “Handicap Proof & Player Tour Card” and do the needful by Feb 26th

Don’t make Organizers, aka Gabbar, chase you with “Yeh haath handicap mujhe dede thakur”. Submission after Feb 26th will result in your handicap going down by 1 stroke per day :-)

As Basanti would say, dekho, baat karte karte, samay nikalgaya….

Stay warm brothers!
