Handicap query

[tugglesf239]

Evening

Played in a bogey comp at ours yesterday.

My current HC is 20.3 and yesterday I completed every hole to finish with an 85 (par 72).

CSS was also 72

Now I’ve had a HC reduction. But it does not seem right.

Can I ask you learned people what you believe I should be cut?

Thanks

Without your scorecard, no. As it was a Bogey comp, any handicap adjustment is gauged against the result of each hole, not the gross score for the round.

You may well, for instance, have had a gross birdie on a hole but that will still be counted as a win, when a gross par would have given you a win.

What was your bogey score

HC reductions are done from a Stableford equivalent

Ie - 1 up equals 37 points
3 equals 39 points

Etc

So for example if you scored 40 points and the CSS was level you would get and .8 cut of in cat 4

Surely 1.6 for Cat 4 - anyway he's Cat 3.

If par and CSS were 72, then your reduction would be 6 x 0.3 = 1.8 - unless there is an ESR involved.

That’s exactly what I’ve been given. Makes sense now as I thought it would have been times 0.4 and therefore 2.4.

Thank you

+5 out, +1 in = +6. You parred the 3rd with 2 shots when a bogey would have had the same result.

Since you've just played a 6 under CSS round, if you produce another round that is 4 under CSS or better within your next 10 rounds you will also receive an ESR (Exceptional Scoring Reduction) that can range from 3.0 (very, very unlikely unless you hit a 14 under ) down to a 0.5 depending on what your score was and how many rounds where between them.
