29-54 Handicappers

[Old Skier]

Our view is quite simple, many of the payers will simply appear month after month on the Continuous Review Report (as they do now) so we are just delaying the inevitable if we do not revise them on the annual review.

Surley if they are appearing month after month on the Continuous Review they should be revised during the annual review.

A question out of general interest.

Does you club have any matchplay or strokeplay competitions where players are limited to the handicap they must play off although they are not prevented from entering?

No , not at the moment

 

[Old Skier]

Luckily I have a 1 handicapper on my committee who can actually play to it. His attitude is bring it on.

I had to play him in the Club Matchplay comp give him 17 shots and he still saw me off on the 16th.

To be blunt I don't know how the club plans to deal with it but it doesn't bother me one iota. As long as they are good company, pace of play isn't compromised and it's an enjoyable experience I don't care what they play off

pretty sterling effort that giving almost a shot a hole to a 1 capper

Matchplay-wise there's no limit other than when calculating the difference between teams in a foursome match the limit is 18 shots, i.e regardless of whether it's two scratch guys against two 28s, the 28s can only ever have 1 shot per hole. I presume this will continue on the introduction of the 29+ group.

From England Golf

If a player is playing in any match play situation, under CONGU rules they must be allowed to receive 100% of the handicap allowance.

They cannot be revised at the moment because they are already at the maximum Congu handicap (unless they request to go to a Congu club handicap), our annual review will not take place until the new handicap software is in place (as per England Golf advice).
