4bbb handicapping system

[Keep cool]

The method WAS used by LGU to reduce a players h/cap by 7.1 shots following some successful results in 4bbb competition.I agree that a method for handicapping 4 bbb is required.The method used by LGU of rolling up historical results is flawed because the end result is not a true reflection of the golfer ability,the normal way is a general play reduction at the end of the season this can also be flawed as it is done by a committee or by one person both ways can be a biased opinion.
This latest method using 50% of points scored is not a true picture of how each player performed.
I think that we golfers know that a system of handicapping should be devised but not the ridiculous one used by LGU.
Has anyone any other ideas?
comments please.

Can't help but feel this is a thread created with a particular angle ,by persons with a percieved grievance. Of course I know nothing of the OP or others new to here, but it strikes me that apart from the full facts not being layed out, a particular result is being looked for and only one slanted side of the coin is being shown.

Do you have this directly from the LUGC or second hand?

You will probably find they used it to support figures arrived at in other ways.

the reason that this forum [and others] have usernames is so that individuals can post information for the good of the community anonymously .try to stick with the issues raised and not get dragged down with assumptions that may be unfounded.

Still unable to view it properly and asking the Q I did is relevant.

I think you are slightly confused.

A general play adjustment must be made as soon as a handicap committee has evidence that a players handicap doesn't reflect his capability.

The annual review is a process driven review that takes place each year.

You wouldn't wait for the AR to implement a general play adjustment (although you may implement one at the AR)

In both cases the handicap secretary may not act unilaterally; they require the same level of authority ie the handicap committee has to sign them both off.

Thanks for the info Duncan

It may be worth noting that the county is not constrained by the AR restrictions on handicap adjustments. They may also use them as a disciplinary process for significant breaches of the spirit of the system.
