Points List

Since 1971, The NCGA Points Program has determined the annual Player of the Year award. IN 1995, a senior award was added. Spencer Levin established a record that will be difficult to top, earning 2,770 points in 2004 on the strength of California State Amateur and NCGA Amateur titles as well as earning low amateur at the U.S. Open honors. The senior record was established in 2008 by Del Rio’s Jeff Burda with 2,459. Pacific Grove’s Casey Boyns has the distinction of holding the most Player of the Year Awards at four, with Randy Haag and Michael Brannan close behind at three each.

The NCGA Points Year is October 1 through September 30 of the following year. All players begin each new points year with zero point. The tournament finish date determines which points year points will be awarded. Should an event change dates that would cause the event to be played twice in one points year then points will be awarded twice within that given points year.

In order to earn NCGA Player Points, contestants must be amateur golfers who are current members of the club they represent and whose club is a current member club, in good standing, of the NCGA. This includes being in compliance with the NCGA Handicap Certification Program. The USGA’s definition of an amateur golfer is the standard of the NCGA. Players must have a current numeric index (CI) listed on the Master Report prior to the start of the event. Anyone who has not established a current numeric index (CI) is ineligible for points. Players suspended from NCGA competitions are not eligible to earn points.

All points will be assigned by the NCGA ONLY based on the official results provided by the tournament.
