Another 36 hole comp question

[louise_a]

I dont want to hijack the other thread as I have a different question.

We have our championship in a couple of weeks, can you have your handicap adjusted for the secong round if you beat CSS for the first?

 

[G1BB0]

yes, even if its not posted you should adjust yourself for any following rounds

I am only repeating what I have read on here before btw

saying that I assume they are on the same day so not totally sure as CSS may not even be know by the time your 2nd round commences?

CONGU decision 4a would suggest that handicaps should not be adjusted between successive rounds of a single competition held on one or consecutive days. However the final decision lies with the organising committee.

I thought you adjusted your overall playing handicap but played off the handicap you started the 36 hole comp with for the 2nd round.

As it's a 36 hole competition you use the starting handicap for the duration of the competition. There will be separate CSS worked out for each round and your actual handicap will be adjusted after each round based on those calculations. You will however play both rounds off your handicap that you started with.

As stated your hcap for a 36 hole comp is your starting hcap on the first. If you go low on first day it's still the same on the second. However you may need to be careful. A mate once scored low on sat and played on Sunday late off the same hcap. The idiot also played an open on Sunday morning at another club and did not cut himself for it. He was disqualified after finishing second.

We used to play our 36 hole competition on consecutive Sundays until one of my (then) fellow committee members had a good first round and, rightly, got a cut for the second round. The next year the competition was held on consecutive days!

MMMmmm.. don't think so

This is what we do at our club.
Did it today.
When it's raining, 36 holes seems forever!
