Handicap shot allowances

[tincup]

Good morning, I was just wondering if anyone could help me. If you are off an handicap of less than scratch do you lose a shot on stroke index 18 even if it is a par 3, as I have heard that you lose a shot on the highest stroke index par 5. Hope all that makes sense

If you are off +1 and are playing a medal, it doesnt matter, you just add the shot at the end.
If match play, the normal rules apply...3/4 or full h/cap etc.
Is that what you meant?

 

[viscount17]

the only way I can see this applying is in a Stableford or Bogey comp.

Sorry should have said, I meant stableford.

Good point Steve (Doh)
In that case, you just record your gross score and let the committee work it out
So in stableford, he/she would have to add one shot onto one hole. Stroke 1 or 18??? Don't know the answer to that one.
Will investigate

As far as I know in stapleford you do lose a shot on SI:18 so if it was a par3 you need to make birdie for 2 pts

Hope that helps.

Errr. A par will give you two points. A birdie will give you three.

Unless you were talking about nett scores anyway

For a + handicapper, they would need to score gross birdie, net par for 2 points.

So if a +4 plays a competition with 3/4 allowance, what does he play off?

 

[viscount17]

scatch, everyone else is taking their 3/4 from his handicap so an 8 handicap gets 3/4 of 12 (8+4) = 9

(well I think it's logical - no knowing what anyone else thinks)

+3

+3

He should play off 4 x4/3 = 5.33 or +5.

 

[freddielong]

+5

Opps, Looks like I went the wrong way.



Your quite right Freddie

 

[Basher]

Tried working it out but then realised, it aint gonna affect me!!!

It IS logical but if you had a field of 100 players you would have to adjust all their h/caps before they tee off... easier to put the +4 guy off +5


If there was only 4 of you playing (ie: stableford knockout/better ball) then he'd go off scratch and you'd take shots from him... as far as I'm aware.
