OVERVIEW
What is NEW?
- Your MAXIMUM score for a hole is NET DOUBLE BOGEY
- You must post your score IMMEDIATELY after play. Handicaps are revised daily and there is a computerized calculation for Playing Conditions. If you delay, your handicap index (and others) will be affected.
- If you play at least 7 holes, post a 9 hole score. If you play at least 14 holes, post an 18 hole score. Any holes not played, post a NET PAR (par plus handicap strokes you are entitled to).
- Any hole not finished, post the score you MOST LIKELY would have. If you are on the putting green within 5 feet (add 1 shot), if you are between 5 feet and 20 yards add 2-3 shots based on the position of the ball and your ability. If you are beyond 20 yards add 3 or 4 shots based on the position of the ball and your ability.
What has changed?
- Your handicap index is calculated using your lowest 8 differentials out of your last 20 scores.
- The maximum handicap index is 54.0 (this will be limited in certain events).
- Revisions are calculated daily so a new handicap index will be available the following day (events will have a fixed revision date).
- If you have a nine hole index, it will be converted to an 18 hole index. You can divide the index in two to get your index for 9 holes.
- Playing Conditions will be factored into the calculation based in course conditions, weather conditions, course set up, etc. At least 8 players must post a score on a given day for the PCC (Playing Conditions Calculation) to take effect.
- A players Low Handicap Index (low handicap in the last 365 days) will be used to limit the upward movement of a players index up to a maximum of 5 strokes (hard cap) or 3 strokes (soft cap- adjustment of 50% of difference over 3 from low index).
- Handicap allocations have been updated for different competitions. The allocation for four ball and best two net competitions is 85% of course handicap. View complete list
- The calculation for course handicap includes the course rating for the different sets of tees so rule 3-5 will not be required. The calculation is handicap index x slope/ 113 + course rating – par.
- The score differential is calculated by taking the adjusted gross score minus the course rating x 113 divided by the slope minus any PCC adjustment.
