This month could be described as the month I discovered handicap racing. It could also be described as the month of ‘Oh god, why do I do this to myself?’.

Barracuda Championship Winners and History
The Barracuda Championship has for seventeen years been the alternate event to the WGC Bridgestone Invitational (WGC-NEC), and for one year, to the Open Championship. As an alternate event, the winner does not earn a Masters Tournament invitation. but does earn 24 OWGR points, 300 FedEx Cup points, a two-year tour exemption, and entry to the PGA Championship.
In 2016, as a consequence of the cancellation of the Greenbrier Classic, the Barracuda Championship will award entry to the 2016 Open Championship to the leading non-exempt player.
The tournament is played at the Montrêux Golf and Country Club, located midway between Reno and Lake Tahoe, Nevada.
Since 2012, the Barracuda Championship has used a Modified Stableford scoring system. The scoring system for Modified Stableford is below:
| Points | Strokes in relation to par |
|---|---|
| 8 | Albatross (3 strokes under par) |
| 5 | Eagle (2 strokes under par) |
| 2 | Birdie (1 stroke under par) |
| 0 | Par |
| −1 | Bogey (1 stroke over par) |
| −3 | Double bogey or worse (2 strokes or more over par) |
Unlike regular golf play, the winner of a Stableford tournament is the one with the MOST points. The advantage of Stableford Scoring is that it encourages aggressive play. Note that the reward for a birdie or better significantly outweigh the penalty for a bogey or worse.
The Stableford System last was used on the PGA Tour at the 2006 International.
Barracuda is a network security company.
