Could I put a question to the more learned contributors on here, please? In the summer we play mixed singles stableford comps every Wednesday. Ladies off the Reds (73.8/128) and Gents off the Whites (72.2/129).
I have been reading Rule 6.2b in the Rules of Handicapping manual, and I don’t really understand what is meant by ‘play to handicap’.
From page 66:
Stableford formats
l For an 18-hole round: The number of points required for all players to
‘play to handicap’ must be calculated from each applicable set of tees.
o Those players requiring the highest number of points to ‘play to
handicap’ receive no additional strokes to the standard calculation of
their Playing Handicap.
o All players playing from a set of tees requiring a lower number of
points to ‘play to handicap’ will receive additional strokes to their
Playing Handicap equal to the difference between the number of
points they require to ‘play to handicap’ and the highest number of
points required by other players.
Rule 6
These additional strokes are added to the player’s Playing Handicap as
follows:
Playing
Handicap
=
(Course Handicap x
handicap allowance)
+
difference in number of points
required to 'play to handicap'
(highest to lowest)
I have set up a dummy comp on ClubV1, using ladies and gents handicaps over a broad range, and everyone seems to just get the 95% allowance. Should there be a further allowance for one of the sexes using these figures, that maybe is not incorporated into the ClubV1 software?
