H4H Handicap Challenge 2014

how does this work again? whoever has the highest handicap at H4H pays the tenner? or is it whoever has the higher relative to their own starting handicap?

I see a 25 has challenged an 18, so the 25 can drop 7 shots and the 18 only 1 and the 25 loses, doesnt seem quite fair. A percentage loss against starting handicap would be fairer and open up more challenges and more multiple challenges.

Hi CMAC
It works perfectly well as it is.......a straight shoot out between 2 SIMILAR handicaps and whoever has the highest handicap on the closing date (HFH day) pays the tenner.

It works best when handicaps are similar, but we have some very confident people who think they can drop pretty quickly so they challenge lower handicappers.....fair play to them....they have a harder job, but it's their choice to throw out the challenge to the lower handicapper.

Current method is also VERY easy to work out and track via the signatures, which is a key part of its success.

Great response this year folks.....thanks everyone....:thup:

ok, only asked as I saw some big deviations.


Remember your sig entries folks (once IPC sort out the sig problem)


worth noting guys/gals when you put your challenger in red in your sig remember to put YOUR h/cap as well as theirs:mmm:

Hello,

Could anyone tell me what this is I am currently off 18 and looking to get down a lot this year having come back to this great sport after 20+ years so would appreciate something that would keep me focused.

Thanks

Very simple. You challenge, or accept a challenge from, someone with a similar handicap to you. The person who has the highest exact handicap on H4H day pays £10 to h4H
 
Thanks for the clarification my handicap is 18 at present but will possibly get re set when the season starts to 17 as it has gone up in the winter league.

Although having had a good round this week end my winter handicap could come down to 15.

Great way of making money for H4H.
