It's simple if your course handicap is 16, you take 36 - 16 =20. You need 20 points in your round for a net zero. Ideally, you have positive points, i.e. shoot better than your handicap. It is a 36 hole tournament, with the round at Coldwater on Friday morning being optional and more of a warm up, get to know some of the competitors, type of round.
