    World Handicap System (WHS)

    Unfortunately these NR medal rounds do not show at all in the history of my last 50 rounds - they are missing completely which is what I was trying to refer to but perhaps unclear.

    World Handicap System (WHS)

    Interesting to see it has now changed to include the CSS/PCC adjustments however there is one glaring omission in my history of results - any medal where I have an NR (and I always keep scoring for the remaining holes) are not showing. Has anyone else noticed this with their round history for...

    WGC - Fitzpatrick

    Interesting, as I have followed him at Wentworth and cannot recall this practicing - a few years ago I remember a duffed chip on the par 3 10th after he had hit his tee shot into the gallery and most interestingly a ruling on the 11th where his ball disappeared into the upper face of a bunker...

    WGC - Fitzpatrick

    Interesting to see Matt Fitpatrick using cross hands to chip/pitch, was asked about it in his post round interview and he almost seemed embarrassed that it had been picked up. Apparently it is one of his practice drills to prevent him driving the hands through. I just admit to the yips and use...

    Prestatyn Golf Club....

    Is very good value (cheap) and played it a few times and is OK, but if you are travelling a couple of hours I would go 25 mins further onto Conwy.

    Slope ratings

    "When I introduced the system in 1982, the theoretical average Slope Rating was 113 because USGA data showed that scores go up on average 1.13 strokes per handicap stroke. The actual average Slope Rating is 120. The majority of courses in coastal states have Slopes of 121 and higher. Many Slopes...

    Scotty Cameron - beware ....

    Been into the fitter now, looked at suggested alternative and nothing like the shape of the current grip and seems so much shorter though only circa 1 inch. Appears that the original grip made for Scotty is by Winn and they have a 15 inch counter balance 128g grip which is the same or close to...

    Scotty Cameron - beware ....

    I have had a Scotty Cameron Futura X7M putter for just over 2 years now (putt well with it) and the grip is showing signs of wear and tear. Spoke to local club fitters and they said they would order me a grip in. Just found out that for this model in dual balance, the putter has to be returned...

    FJ DNA Helix - true to size?

    I have the DNA Helix and they do come up slightly large so bought 9.5 instead of 10, but not as large as the previous model which means these are a snug fit but that extra support means my plantar fasciitis has been none existent this year and playing more golf than ever before (average 4 times...

    Rule 19.1

    They both agree it should have been a cut but not resolved in the system and updated as of today (Intelligent Golf home club, Handicapmaster away) - I am about to give up on it. 39 points in a stableford today, and I holed out on only blob hole so no question of full round of 18 scores, so...

    Rule 19.1

    Well, several days later and multiple emails between the two clubs and myself and still not resolved as I believe it should be yet. Away club says they processed and it shows as 19.1 reduction as 38 points in their system, home club not seen it come through like that but would investigate and...

    Rule 19.1

    This was an Away round, the record on Home club IG shows Score from Away club system edited to show Stableford which was 38 so I think that part is correct The Away club where I played this round has a recent track record of not operating the system properly or incorrectly setting up...

    Rule 19.1

    Certainly Intelligent Golf and Handicapmaster/Masterscoreboard do not DQ and CONGU Manual still has same description for 19.1 as previously 19.1 Scores returned in Stroke Play Qualifying Competitions, whether or not all 18 holes have been completed, must be adjusted to the Nett Differential...

    Rule 19.1

    I was always under the impression that if you NR in a medal you can still get a handicap reduction under rule 19.1 (Congu manual and article here seem to support this) - am I wrong ? Played my away club at the weekend and NR'd one hole out of 18 where lost ball and heading for probably a double...

    Annual Handicap Review - World Handicap System

    Recently a regular playing partner sent us all a spreadsheet he had built where you could cut and paste your last 20 rounds and it would calculate what he thinks will be close to the WHS handicap when this comes along in 2020. The key thing was that were several players who had not played to...
