In recent times I've had two good rounds which have caused my handicap index to drop. But it's not gone down as much as I might have expect. I'm wondering why?
Details as follows
1. HI was 19.5 (Low Handicap Index was 15.3). Score differential achieved was 6.2 better than the SD it replaced. Index dropped by only 0.2
2. HI was 19.3 (Low Handicap Index was 16.2). Score differential achieved was 4.2 better than the SD it replaced. Index dropped by only 0.1
In both cases, the 20th score which dropped out was a non-counting score
Is that to be expected? I was sort of expecting drops of about 0.7 and 0.5 (or possibly half that due the soft cap?) Am i missing something?
