Christ I’m confused already
NickAm I right in thinking that as long as you know your Handicap Index it’s more than likely that your Course Handicap will be available from a table - or if using an app calculated by it - depending on the tee you’re playing from.Any adjustment for the format would then be similar to what we do now - eg 90% for better ball difference
you wait....we haven't even started yet!!!
When you play a round of golf your Handicap Index is converted into a Course Handicap and then into a Playing Handicap depending upon the format of golf (Singles Strokeplay, Singles Matchplay, 4BBB etc etc) you are about to play.Seriously how confusing is that?So if you play the same course every week in a medal/stableford then all 3 should be same number?
half of our members can't even fill out a card properly, so I don't fancy their chances of correctly determining what handicap to use
Handicap 11 Index , Slope is 120 off the whites11/113*120 = 11.68 = 11.712*0.95=11.4Seems a hell a of crazy way to get back to a number. So in theory my exact handicap allowance that day has gone up due to the Slope/Tees I've played off?
No - you need to use the slope adjustment to calculate your playing handicapScottish Golf differ from England at the moment - we have no exceptional scoring adjustment .The Scottish Golf App - VMS - looks like it has the functionality to show your playing handicap when you check in for a competition. It knows your Index and knows which tees and slope adjustment.IIRC in US most scorecards has a table on them - or maybe it was In the Strokesavers?
So basically anyone playing at a high slope rated course could see their handicap increase during the switchover?Maybe 130+ slope would give them 0.5 more? ( assuming medals off whites for example)
