Use the r&a calculator.Got there. Index is 6.4 compared to 6.3 ConguOr should I not compare?!

You need the course rating and slope for the tee you use
It depends on the slope of your course, I feel that is going to be said a lot for a while.Got there. Index is 6.4 compared to 6.3 Congu

8.4 rather than 8.7, pleased but obviously understand it may change between now and official launch.

It was. There are bigger differences worldwide. All that I can say is that, it is not the same everywhere, but it is compatible everywhere you go. You just may need to remember some of the nuances if you are playing in different countries.

Then you hit them with, of course you only get 95% of that when you play in a singles comp

The course rating is like the current SSS
If the course rating is different the PAR the number of strokes you get will change accordingly.
I assume that is why all courses get a chart that is individual.

You might get run down by a tractor or run over children on a crosswalk
Then you hit them with, of course you only get 95% of that when you play in a singles comp
. So I was cut by 2 shots but then got them back due to course slope but then will lose one again in a comp. Yup, definitely
.I'd ask why they brought in the 95% idea, I really haven't kept too close an eye on all this, but I suspect that is a thread on it's own.

Understand what the course rating is but it doesn’t affect your course handicap or playing handicap in England -

Not bad .
My rough estimate was 9.5 actual 9.4.

Just got my indicative WHS handicap ... 27.5 up from 25.0. Given that my course slope is 121 off the yellows, I guess it will be around 29 when playing at home. Given that I got 38 points playing off 25 last time out, I might be a bandit for a while! ??

Why not?
Our yellow tees have a course rating of 71 and the whites have a rating of 73.3, both are par 74 and slopes are almost he same. You shouldn’t get the same playing handicap for both tees

It's used to work out the score differential

No idea why not but it’s not happening in the UK - but is in the US

My sincere apologies.
I believe you might be correct.
It looks like The course rating only gets used when a comp is played from 2 different tees.

Mine is 5.1 (don't know if CSS has been used or not?), but that doesn't take into account my 3 over par gross, 73 I shot on Sunday. My CONGU handicap went from 6.1 to 5.3 with that round, so will be interesting to see what it does to the WHS one.
