That is correct

Our ISV, Handicapmaster can accommodate all of this, their software will allow qualifying competitions from 9 right up to 18 holes, once the score has been sent to the England Golf platform, the appropriate scaling up of the score is applied, then any changes to a players index as a result is...

All rounds will count for handicapping. For our format i.e 5 unplayed holes, they will be scored by awarding each player net par +1 - : so it is a neutral score, but if you do not mix these results with 18 hole competitions and general play scores, it could artificially keep players handicaps...

I think we will get our wish, I now have confirmation letter from England Golf stating that holding our 13 hole competitions and submitting the scores top England golf is perfectly acceptable.

I agree that the more data provided, the more accurate will be the outcome, submitting 13 scores will always be better than submitting only 9. That is why submitting 18 holes is the best of all.

We are stuck at County level at the moment, we are searching for evidence to lodge an appeal and take the dispute to the next level. But thanks to the power of social media I now have definitive proof that we can do 13 holes and count it towards our WHI, from a higher power then the NUGC. So we...

We believe that to be the case

Thanks for that explanation

If you can submit an acceptable 9 hole score and have it made up with an imaginary 9 hole score, it makes no sense not to allow scores of between 10 to 18 hole scores to be submitted and have those made up to 18 with imaginary scores. We have also found many other clubs doing the same. The golf...

Yes but our argument is that scaling up over the last 5 holes will be more representative of a golfers current form than if you scale up the last 9 holes

Thats exactly the case, thanks for that

I have submitted several 9 hole scores and they are immediately scaled up to 18 holes. I don't feel it is is the correct way as I always get the same score for the back 9. i.e net par +1. My course handicap is 17, and I scored 7 over par for the 9 holes played. My card was scaled up and i was...
