THE CONGRESSIONAL AWARD

N 1979, Congress established

the Congressional Award to
recognize initiative, service
and achievement in Americas
youth. It began as a bipartisan effort in both the United States
Senate and House of Representatives. The Congressional Award is a
public-private partnership, which
receives all funding from the private
sector.
The Congressional Award is the only
award for youth legislated by the U.S.
Congress. Through this program,
young people, ages 14-23, take the
initiative to set and achieve personally challenging goals in voluntary
public service, personal development, physical fitness, and expeditions.
Since its inception, thousands of
young people have invested more
than 7.4 million hours of volunteer
service. The number of young people
working toward the Congressional
Award has more than doubled in the
past few years, and there are currently 47,000 active participants in
the program.
All young people are equally able
to earn the Congressional Award
because goals are based on individual interest and ability. A young
person is not selected to receive the
Congressional Award, he or she must
earn it.

information, reading
greens and taking care of
equipment

TOURNAMENT FORMAT:
Best Ball off TEE. Play 2nd shots and continue to proceed until any Team Ball is holed
Each Players TEE BALL must be used three times in the round
Record your TEAM score under the individual whose TEE BALL was used on that hole
The Congressional Award Foundation uses a handicapping system which strives to ensure a fair and
competitive tournament for everyone. The following handicapping system takes into account the
handicaps of each player in a foursome and adjusts each team to par, which is 10 points. Each team
member is rated according to the following scale:

A1 - 0-4
A2 - 5-8
A3 - 9-12

Handicap = 6 pts. B - 13-20

Handicap = 5 pts. C - 21-28
Handicap = 4 pts. D - 29-36+

Handicap = 3pts.
Handicap = 2 pts.
Handicap = 1 pt.

Three levels of A players are used because of the vast difference between skills of a scratch player and
a 12 handicap. A sample foursome of an A1 player and B, C, and D player would be rated at +12 points.
By subtracting the base level of 10 points (Congressional Award Scramble System), the foursome would
have a handicap of +2 added to their final score. Four D players would have a handicap of -6. Ties will
be broken by selected holes on the course.
