Alterations to WHS?

[clubchamp98]

Then it would be open to analysis...and potential challenge.

Ah well, back to playing qualifiers in paddy fields and look forward to holes you never played or finished counting for handicap

Yes I find that very strange.

And that very strange as well.

This has already been picked up at a local course, certain players who blobbed a hole, entering 'did not play' rather than 'played but did not score'. Both versions show zero points, but one counts the hole as a nett par for your handicap and the other nett double....

As stated before, most wont know or care when entering their score....

I've heard of a few players that do that at my club for general play rounds. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot more do it, but it has simply never been noticed. I wonder if the the handicap secretary gets a report that can show players that had Did Not Play holes, as I suppose such a report could quickly show where people are doing it wrong.

Has anyone else tuned into this webinar?

Has anyone else tuned into this webinar?

Yes, watching now

This was answer to 2024 WHS changes

Communications to clubs and counties will be within the next week and webinar's for these changes will be set up in November and Face 2 Face workshops next year.
From the 1st April so we're able to support clubs/counties with understanding of the changes.

A quick scan of the public chat messages makes me so grateful that the contributors don't post on here.

Anyone able to summarise for those of us not able to watch the webinar please

 

[Larry long dog]

My main reason for tuning in was the curiosity of PCC but alas…

Really haven't seen anything that committees should not already know - apart from 2024 changes published on 1st Jan for 1st April implementation

What would you like to know?

Nothing new really. Pretty much just covering the same material as the seminars held at the beginning of the year - mostly just basic stuff for handicap committees (again) regarding winter golf and reviews.

 

[Larry long dog]

What would you like to know?

More transparency as to how it is calculated

Half the stuff on chat you wonder what some HC committees are up to.

 

[IanM]

Rather dull... I recognised a few names in the chat thread. Mostly moaning

They vary from really on the ball, to don't actually exist.

EG stressed that Clubs should have a Handicap Committee of at least 3 people

 

[NearHull]

Well that’s was a little boring. It was reinforcement not revelation.

 

[Alan Clifford]

Is MyEG not good enough for you (or whatever App is relevant to your location)

To be fair, I've a friend who has a spreadsheet that contains every one of his scores for years and years, so that he can pull up all sorts of historical stats from his history. Although this isn't the behaviour of the average golfer. In fact, he contributes to this forum fairly regularly

The proper course handicap gives you an indication of playing to handicap. But as the handicap index is an average, playing to handicap means it's better than the lower scores in the average. Except when a good one is the 20th and is going to drop off. So no reliable indicators there. I like to know what I have to score to retain my handicap and what I have to score for a cut, even if it just a miniscule one.

Did they actually confirm what the changes are or is it still a secret?
Worse than MI5.....
