Following on from my previous post..I shot a 78. Based on my h/c of 20.2 how much would you have expected my h/c to have been cut by ?...The css for the course is 68.

:cool:
 
At least down to 15 ish, anything higher than that and you need to seriosuly consider replacing your titleist cap with a sombrero and growing a decidely dodgy moustache and calling all your mates 'amigo'.
 
I think it is .3 for everything under par which would make it a reduction of 1.5 but if they rule 19 you then you could be looking at a 4 or 5 point reduction in your handicap.

I am probably wrong as it has been years since I had a cut. ;)
 
cat 4 golfer off 20.2 loses 0.4 per stroke down to 18.2 which is 5 of your 10 strokes under css.

Then you go to cat 3 golfer and lose another 5 x 0.3 = 1.5

18.2 - 1.5 = 16.7

In total you lose 3.5 ( 2.0 as cat 4 and 1.5 as cat 3)
