[TD="bgcolor: white"]Hi. For a UK CONGU administered handicap I know that for the first initial three cards to obatin a new HCAP, the highest gross score can only be par +2 per hole. So scoring a 10 on a par 5 will actually be counted as a 7 for HCAP purposes.

However after the initial three cards have been assessed and a HCAP is issued, does the maximum of Gross score of +2 per hole still apply for ongoing HCAP adjustments? or are ongoing UK CONGU HCAP's based on gross score only i.e. no par +2 adjustment?

There seems confusion. I also hear that some people seem to think that there is a net score +2 limit per hole for ongoing HCAP adjustment purposes?..or stableford adjustment? What is the correct answer please?[/TD]

Yeah still applies

So a 10 on a par 3 (not that I have ever done it...well not admitting to it) will count as a 5 in terms of ongoing HCAP adjustment?

Once you have a handicap, it is nett +2, i.e. the lowest score that scores 0 Stableford points on the hole, hence known as a Stableford adjustment.

Oops, correction - Gross +2. I knew what I meant but my fingers typed something else.

So a 10 would count as a 7 on a stroke par-4 for handicap purposes.

Yeap, god knows how it works, but even if you 100 shots on a par 3, it would still count a a double

as mentioned above the worst you can score is net +2 so if you are receiving a stroke at say the hardest hole on the course and you score a 10.....

that will get reduced down to a 7.if you weren't receiving a stroke so lets say the easiest hole on the course then the 10 would get reduced down to a 6.

these are for par 4.

Not as simple as that. I've found that the easiest way to explain stableford adjustment is that if you have some really high scores in a medal, for handicap purposes only, they are reduced to one more than the score which would attract one stableford point - i.e. the strokes you would have received at those holes in a stableford competition form part of the equation.
