If you have the time to spare, plough through WHS - Handicap Allowances Question | Golf Monthly

It's a non qualifying competition, so make your own rules

2 bits of good news;

- the money has been over to FP
- as there are more than 12 of us going, we get a free place so there is £109 in the whip for saturday night

That will only cover 2 bottles of wine for the Captains' table - on Sunday, not Saturday.

Now then, Billy boy, stop sowing the seeds of anarchy. Most of the contestants are WHS handicap holders and are therefore bound by the mandatory stroke allowances laid down in the WHS manual - thus has spake the Farts Captain.

Great news, looking at the MyEG app, assuming we are off the yellows my handicap is 16 on the pines and 15 on the Beeches.
Result ?

And it's the final round of the USPGA on the Sunday night, so hopefully we can get dinner done and dusted and settle in to cheer a European home

Each of the combinations of two of the three nines has its own Course Rating and Slope.

Yeah I noticed, I'll have a proper look later.
Re the USPGA, what time does it usually finish? Hawaii is 11 hours behind so we may get to see the final few holes at breakfast ?

It's at Kiawah Island, South Carolina, so it's 5 hours behind. Unless it goes to a playoff the winner should be crowned sometime between 10 & 11 PM our time

Oops, got to be honest I saw the course name and just assumed it was in Hawaii lol.

Ave just had a look at the Course ratings and it looks like I could get 19 or 20 shots ?
