England Golf and General Play Scores

[wjemather]

I still don’t know any ‘clubs’ that are not affiliated let alone “many”?

Swinley Forest is possibly one of the most well known.

Good to know there is one.

I don’t know of any around here, can you name a few?

Garstang near me is one - no attached club or members though.

 

[Alan Clifford]

I havent heard of any clubs doing so. Is anyone still running the UHS and offering that as an affiliation ?

Chiddingfold were doing that but I think they've been bought by another company and are changing to a 12 hole course plus stuff.

Just going back to this question of open organisers demanding x competitive scores amongst the last twenty, or the last year, or whatever.

When I look at my EG record, I can't see anything that indicates whether a score was from competition or general play. Is that a flag that only appears to competition administrators? Secondly, if I enter an individual open at a club other than my own, would that be flagged as a competition score? I enter lots of opens but very few of them are individual.

When I look on IG under Rounds it either names the comp or says General Play Score.

The Open organisers would have access to your record on the WHS Platform where there is simply a C or G against the result

Would a score from an individual open have a C or a G against it?

They all show as C...... it's very much up to the Open organizers to put the work in to ensure it's a fair & honest Competition. All any H/cap system can do is provide the data for them to make use of when creating the Comps T's & C's as all of those worth entering are now doing.

It should be a C.

Our County Winter Alliance officials realised that amateur scores should really be going into players' WHS records. However, as EG does not authorise Winter Alliance to run qualifiers, they made it a condition of entry that all amateurs pre-registered their round as GP with scores entered immediately after play and verified by the marker. So, although the round shows as G, it is in effect a C.

Your handicap secretary can edit the rounds in the dotgolf back end system to show as a C if you really want them to. I guess they wouldnt be too keen on publicising this ability in case loads of golfers made this request!!
