I wasn't aware of the handicap requirements for a sponsors exemption. I thought they could invite who they wanted. A friend of mine was invited to play in the Bell South Classic by the sponsor, but I guess he had at least a 2.

I would say every professional golfer, including the minor tours, have at least a 2 handicap.

agreed, lots of people, and freepers going to be eating crow after today if she keeps it up, and a few of us who had a little faith, will be able to gloat.

(Hopefully) Before anyone says something stupid, let me point out that handicap index is calculated exactly the same for men and women and accounts for the length (course rating) and relative difficulty (course slope) of the courses where the scores where calculated. A woman's 2 handicap is exactly the same as a man's 2 handicap.

I knew a guy who was a scratch player - never got to play in any tournaments though.
