OGA was here on May 7th to check the courses rating. This is something they do to member courses every few years. They checked yardages, hazards, etc. and then played the course. We will be hearing back from them in a few weeks for their assessment. Whether the course rating will be changing is up to them. However, if it does change, then handicaps will change also.
