Hi - Just wondered if anyone could point me in the direction of information regarding how the CSS is calculated for club events. I am assuming there is a formula, but I am not able to find it!

I thought you were talking about cascading style sheets for a minute there!![]()
It's a formula dreamed up by the clinically insane who are currently in orbit around a completely different planet. It is used to arrive a a fictitious number, believed by the terminally bewildered to be a fair way of adjusting our Handicaps.
The tables are only in the handbook I think but you can buy them for £4 here http://www.englishwomensgolf.org/news.asp?id=1&newsid=1753.
I am taking over as handicap secretary so have the knowledge but if I told you then I'd have to kill you
I have always been intrigued how they are calculated and got better at estimating it after comp results (ladies tend to have a drink and announce them).
I have managed to find the online version --> http://www.englishgolfunion.org/e-brochure/index.html
You would expect your CSS to be mostly 71 (37 points) or 70 (38 points) with the occasional 72 (36 points) or higher.
CSS is based on the proportion of players in Cats 1, 2and 3 who have equalled or bettered a certain score on the day – 72 (36 points) for Cat 1, 73 (35 points) for Cat 2 and 74 (34 points) for Cat 3.
The approximate proportions and resultant CSS are:
40% and over = CSS 70 (38 points)
20 to 39% = CSS 71 (37 points)
14 to 19% = CSS 72 (36 points)
10 to 13% = CSS 73 (35 points)
6 to 9% = CSS 74 (34 points)
Less than 6% =CSS 74 (34 points) (Reductions Only)
