Exactly. The whole point of a handicap system is to make the game fair and equitable for all. Leaving closed holes as luck of the draw means the handicap system on that day is not fair or consistent for all players. I know clubs apply this in different ways but how can anyone think this is right?

If strokes 1-6 are closed then a six handicapper gets zero shots. So 0% of handicap whereas an 18 handicap would still get a shot a hole so 100%

Great. And I completely agree. I just can’t find it documented anywhere that it should work this way and our match and handicap don’t agree

Non qual. Thanks

Mainly Stableford. Including 4bbb and team

I think that is u fair based on which SI holes are closed

I meant Stableford. But if you don’t get a nn/18 percentage it’s unfair

Sorry meant Stableford or teams. Where you get shots as per SI.

That results in some people getting full shots some losing more shots so it becomes unbalanced and unfair

I agree with you but the club doesn’t and I can’t find this documented anywhere

Stableford. But if closed holes have low index it is u favourable to lower handicaps. And if mid stroke are closed it is unfavourable to mid. Surely had to be proportionate

I agree on this and think it’s how it should be. But we don’t do that and it results in favouring some and benefitting others but I can’t find anything on golf England or anywhere else to confirm it

Strokeplay. But if stroke index 1-6 closed a six handicap gets none zero percent of handicap. A 12 handicap gets 6. At 50%. And an 28 handicap gets 12 which is 190%

I mean how many shots do I get. Not how you would be scored for handicap qualifying purposes. If I am a 12 handicap and 4 holes are closed how many shots would I get over 14 holes

If 6 holes are closed what handicap allocation would I get
