I have had it confirmed by the County and Regional Handicap Advisers that the listed handicap allowances for scrambles should not be used when there are teams of different size. Try calculating the team handicaps for teams of 3 x 16 handicaps and 4 x 16 handicaps in the same comp and you will...

It will count when he does get it in play - 3 off the tee, 5 off the tee etc.

You certainly can with Handicapmaster. You really need it as the recommended percentages just cannot work if you have a mix of 3-man and 4-man teams.

You started it.

Four-ball is the terminology used by England Golf for the issue being discussed.

Exactly. We sometimes play a Las Vegas Scramble where a throw of the dice dictates which drive is used. Players are warned that, before the dice is thrown, any player whose ball might be lost or OOB should play a provisional in case the dice dictates that his drive is the one.

Now that we are using the same calculating methods, try this: https://www.englandgolf.org/resource-detail/whs-resources It's an Excel spreadsheet which does it all for you.

When I responded earlier to Golfist, that is what I was suggesting without exactly saying it. I don't think I am on the spectrum, but I can honestly say that I don't pay much attention to my personal scoring record on WHS. I turn up, check my HI, CH and PH for whatever comp I'm playing and go...

Why wouldn't they?

I can sympathise with you but one of the WHS aims was to try to get players into the mindset that you play a round and enter your scores whether it's a comp or General Play and just let your handicap take care of itself. I recognise that it may not help you but, with WHS, a handicap is what it...

I thought a General Play card pre-registered and scores entered via the MyEg app required the marker's EG WHS number.

Surely his pub comp would not be subject to WHS entry. I can't remember ever seeing a pub club in the list of affiliated clubs.

Thanks, but Golf Genius was golf specific and very easy to use. You only had to specify 12 players and 4 rounds, enter the 12 names and it produced the draw for each round, ensuring you played with as many different other players as possible. If anyone has a need for the 12 player/4 round...

For more than 10 years we have had groups of 12 players going to Belek playing 4 rounds. For the first time this year our group size increases to 16, again playing 4 rounds. Until now I have been using a free random pairings Excel spreadsheet provided by Golf Genius which was excellent and...

You are, of course correct. I did my calculations correctly according to the Rules as you mentioned. I did, however, write my post off the top of my head without checking the wording on the document. It has been a hard day and I have more to post about my further exchanges with the County Union...
