That puzzles me slightly, as for both 100% and 95% give 6 as the rounded result for those numbers.Thanks, that's what I would have expected. Someone at our club doesn't appear to be using the system correctly: it looks like we're getting an addition to our course handicaps to form a playing handicap rather than the reduction provided by 95%.
That puzzles me slightly, as for both 100% (Individual Strokeplay) and 95% (Individual Matchplay) give 6 as the rounded result.
Doh! Thanks. Doesn't surprise me that I screwed up there. I haven't played Singles Matchplay in years! And our 'keeper of 'caps' does all the calcs for Pairs on a phone app. I've updated my post.Singles Matchplay has no deduction, each player uses the difference between their course handicaps.
Or to be pedantically correct…but also to consistent with how allowances are calculated across all formats, in singles matchplay the shot allowance is the difference of the Playing Handicaps with Playing Handicap being 100% of Course Handicap.Singles Matchplay has no deduction, each player uses the difference between their course handicaps.

I make that, what might seem perhaps pedantic, point to those I’m playing with simply because shots given/received are ALWAYS calculated off Playing Handicap, and NEVER Course Handicap - and so when working out shots I always talk about differencing PHs - keeping CHs out of it - even when they are, in the turn out, equivalent.
It is defined as such in Rule 6.2ait is not called Playing Handicap in singles match play
.
6.2b(i) specifically calls it the Playing Handicap in this context.In addition, because the players are playing from tees with different Course Ratings, the competitor playing over the higher rated course receives the difference in the CR values added to the Course Handicap after the application of the stroke allowance.
Don't you round the 5.98 up, THEN apply the 95percent? No difference in this example, admittedly5.2 x (130 / 113) = 5.98 x 95% = 5.68 = 6
Yes, in England, Wales and Ireland, but not in Scotland, which is where the original question related to.Don't you round the 5.98 up, THEN apply the 95percent? No difference in this example, admittedly
Ok.... As was said, what a messYes, in England, Wales and Ireland, but not in Scotland, which is where the original question related to.

Surely 5.98 would still be rounded to 6.0 in Scotland (I.e. to one decimal place)?Yes, in England, Wales and Ireland, but not in Scotland, which is where the original question related to.
Which is because only Scotland has applied the WHS Rules correctly.Yes, in England, Wales and Ireland, but not in Scotland, which is where the original question related to.
I'm not certain, but I think there is no rounding of course handicap in Scotland. Only after 95%, 90%, 85% etc is applied do they round to a whole number.Surely 5.98 would still be rounded to 6.0 in Scotland (I.e. to one decimal place)?
Is there some sort of information board that shows a player what his unrounded CH is? Or do they have to use their phone?Which is because only Scotland has applied the WHS Rules correctly.

It isIf we are being pedantic (but I know what you mean) it is not called Playing Handicap in singles match play
For singles match play the stroke allowance is 100% of the Course Handicap. In addition, because the players are playing from tees with different Course Ratings, the competitor playing over the higher rated course receives the difference in the CR values added to the Course Handicap after the application of the stroke allowance.
It is
Sorry to bring this up again, and thanks to those who helped out when I originally asked it. I think the mixed tee angle might be the source of confusion at our club but I can't find out why so was hoping if anyone on here would know where to find the answer.If it's a mixed tee competition, there would be additional adjustments.
