ANOTHER Handicap Question.........?????

[moogie]

Just a Quickie..............Hopefully,

When playing in a Bogey Comp, is handicap adjusted on the result gained in this format ONLY....??
Or, is the Total strokes achieved used aswell........??

eg............ Shot -2 in bogey comp, but my strokeplay score was nett 73, which would normally put me in the 'buffer'
Do I get a 0.1 lift on the -2 bogey score, or stay the same as I was in my buffer zone for strokeplay.............??

All replies appreciated
I will also follow up tomorrow when I get results, to let you know outcome
Thanks

Handicap adjustments are based solely on the Bogey result - the strokeplay score is irrelevant. There is a table for converting Bogey and Stableford scores to the nett differentials which are used for the handicap calculations.

Thanks rosecott
Ive only played a few, but never been in that situation, to even think about it before
To be honest, Id rather they were all strokeplay, but thats just me......

Lots will agree but it makes a change.
