With the new system the changes in HI can be quite different as well once we get to the end of May.
In my case, I'm going up up up.

What is the significance with the end of May?

That's when the matches take place.
All the courses at Pines are sloped at 113
so no need for a calculator then

I think Lilyhawk was referring to what our Indexes will be come the day of the matches rather than our HI/course handicap, hence it doesn't matter at this stage if they're not quite right.

Ooo apologies, obviously looking at an out of date website
So I’ll be getting loads of shots then ?

There is not a number in the known universe that tallys with the number of shots you're going to be getting.....

I think we might have some participants who do not have WHS handicaps - but I may be wrong.

Those that do not usually declare a handicap for the purposes of this meet that is a fair reflection of their ability. I would be happy letting them have this for Beeches & Pines and giving them an extra shot on Forest & Pines

That sounds perfectly acceptable - as long as they are Old Farts. Dando, as organiser, should have a plan.

It would apply to any player without an official handicap

Yes, the point being - there's no real need to collect Handicap Indexes today cause they won't be the same come May. Personally, I'll probably play around 10-12 rounds where I'll put my card in before the meet, and given that 5 of my best scores will be replaced I expect some big changes. Especially if I continue to play the way that I have since we came out of lockdown.

I am aware there will be some changes to HIs between now and the meet. It was just to give me and rosecott an idea of playing level so we can start to think about our pairings. We will be asking you guys for updated HIs just before the meet

Yeah, I fully understand that! At the moment my HI is lying, or I'm underperforming. By May I'll hopefully know which it is and that it's more in line.
Thanks for stepping in as captains!

Handicap is any wedge shot at the moment, more likely to shank anyone on the right hand side of me?

Is anybody in contact with @TreeSeeker? He's the only participant not to send me their details, and until I get them I can't finalise the teams
