Thank you for that, it makes sense. It would have been good for EG to mention that on their own Facebook page and to stop replies to something that potentially will cause yet more confusion.

We watched for the first time today (inspired by Hobbit’s interesting reporting on it). Fascinating, watching the KC dismantle her ‘ignorance’ shield. The icing on the cake would have been her being arrested at the end. I also get the feeling that they are busy teeing up the even higher ups for...

That’s a lousy 7.7 mill each, hardly worth getting out of bed for. I feel gutted for the poor things.

Thanks, I now have seen that one. It differs slightly from the one quoted in the Facebook group. Not sure who the Facebook group information is targeted at, as the final line asks for different action from Friday’s note.

As far as I know all comp software runs 4BBs at 85% of CH, it would be odd for at least a few people entering a 4BB to not to query it if they were getting 100%.

In this neck of the woods we have only had 38.8mm or rain so far in April. If the next few days aren’t really wet that’ll mean that April will be really quite dry. Around half of average. This certainly hasn’t been the case for the previous 6 months, with only January not being well above...

I just saw this on the EG Facebook group. Any idea how clubs can access this sort of info if they aren’t on the Facebook group? I haven’t seen any direct mailings to clubs or counties, have I missed something? Also how can clubs resend scores at 85% if all they are being asked to do is set up...

I know, I was referring to Crow’s proposal from earlier in this thread,

Bristol and Clifton, with your system we would have to change two par 5s into fours, they are less than 550. So par would be 68 CR 71.6.

If we used your proposed par / yardage, the CR par differential at my course would increase from 71.6 70 to 71.6 68. This would make the situation worse.

Interesting that this issue is now rearing its head on the England Golf Volunteer Hub on Facebook as well.

At my course you would get 18 off whites, 16 off yellows and 13 off blues previously it would have been 17, 16 and 15.

Maybe you should just have to adapt your par to the course rating, it might mean that you would get the odd short par 5 or on courses with higher CR than par and the odd long par 3 or long par 4 on courses with CR lower than par but it would not mean adjusting handicaps. Also with the move to...

The bottom line is whether competition is now on a fairer and more equal basis, if it is then it is a success. If this could have been achieved with a few tweaks to UHS, that would have been a simpler way forward. If that wasn't possible then WHS was the only way forward to achieve a more level...
