Handicap reduction... Think I have been done!!!

[joma1108]

Wondering if anyone can help

Im playing of 13.2 and had a score of nett 59 (-9 to par of the course) this was as a supplementary score.

I have been reduced to 11.5 however I think I should be lower around 11.2

Anyone know how to work this out and put me out of my misery?

Not a bandit as had nett 62 two weeks in a row so just going through a very purple patch.

Erm.....right, OK.

What is the SSS of your course? I believe that is what's used to calculate ESR scores rather than the par.

Your handicap had a mixture of .3 and .2 reductions because you entered a lower category. Same thing happened with me last month.

yep - supplementary adjustments based on SSS (par has noting to do with handicaping)

and ESR's won't be a factor (yet!)

As said, we need to know SSS for the Supplementary and if the two 62s were in qualifiers (and CSS of course). Is ESR being used in Scotland?

 

[joma1108]

Yep I know about -3 and -2 between the categories. Where do I find out SSS of course and what is SSS I know CSS but never heard of SSS

 

[joma1108]

Website says SSS of 67 so -8 under par

no - good point.

but as it's only supposed to replicate what a handicap committee should be implementing.........it's probably the best llustration of why it would have been appropriate previously I have seen. What happens now is another thing!

SSS should be printed on scorecard, CSS adjusts SSS according to performance of all Cat 3s and below in a qualifier.

The SSS will be on your scorecard, usually top right corner, it will say something like

Par 71
SSS 72

explains that then :thup:

Duncan 62 were in club comps and I got the -3 per shot under CSS that is fine.

SSS is 67 for the course par 68

 

[joma1108]

I would make my score at 11.4 then and not 11.5

Initial calc were out as didn't know about SSS

13.2 - 0.3 x2 = 12.6

That leaves 8 shots at 1.2 to take off meaning 11.4

Or am I wrong

understand that - we are just pointing out the discrepency between the SGU approach and all the other Golf Unions over ESR's.

you would have been reduced an additional shot (recommended and implemented at most clubs) after your second 62 (haven't checked if it would be more) and your supplemental card would have given you a further 2 shots (probably).

sounds like things are going well - good luck for the future.

What we need to know is:

Exact handicap prior to the two nett 62s.
The CSS for those 2 qualifiers.
Any intervening qualifiers/Supplementaries (Oh, and anything else your Handicap Committee might have/should have done).

Then we're in business.

11.5 is consistent with -7 (3x.3 + 4x.2) from 13.2

was 67 definitely the SSS of the tees you played from (and indicated on your card)? Are you sure you added the card up right?

Thanks for all the help guys greatly appreciated

Three successive rounds of nett 62, 62, 59 and you claim not to be a bandit.

Some might disagree!

He's playing in comps, submitting supplementary cards, and he's on here trying to work out why his handicap has not been cut more than it has.
What more can he do?

These are not the actions of a bandit.
