Happy WHS Email day

[Imurg]

All those who are commenting on a lower handicap index should remember it's based around a course with a slope of 113, when you check it against jour course slope it may be a higher playing HC

Am I right in thinking that scores submitted this month won't get added to the calculation until the day before it goes live..?
If so, and you've put scores in this month, your index is likely to change?
So why are they putting out now?

That is correct (for clubs that use ClubV1 anyway, but possibly for all ISVs)

It confuses me also. I don't see why that can't have it fully operational for a few weeks before launch at least, so golfers can see it work in anger before moving fully over to it. I thought that was always meant to be the case, with both the CONGU and WHS systems operating in parallel before the official launch of WHS. It seems this is not the case anymore.

To further muddy the water.

Err what email?

 

[timd77]

I’ve had an email from my club asking me to update my preferences to allow golf England to access my personal data. ??‍

 

[IanM]

Or what is or what isn't handball.

That includes refs on the FIFA list! Maybe WHS was an attempt to mess up golf in the same way. So far it's working

Email has been sent by EG but log in doesn’t work

I think that is an email reminding club officials to log in and check if they haven't already done so.

My club recieved such an email and forwarded it on to me. The email gave no instructions as to what was supposed to be used as a user name or password....i tried my own email address and DoB but it didn't work.

Try explaining it to a non golfer

Try explaining LBW rule to a non-cricketer, or the Duckworth-Lewis method to a non-mathematician.

Yep for club officials, it’s the login that you used to complete the requested corse info a month or two back

Not as hard as the off side rule

Try to explain to a non footballer why the lines man (who is no longer called a lines man) stands stock still a yard past the halfway line and waits until the ball is the back of the net to put a flag up

 

[Imurg]

So has this happened?
Is it happening?
Bit of an anticlimax to be honest...

1.6 better equalling 2 shots dropped based on where I was at before. Party time, respectability beckons

You just need to move to a club with a slope of about 90 and your course and playing handicap will be even less!

I think that is probably a pitch and putt course ?

They must be sending them out alphabetically...I've not heard a peep

 

[Billysboots]

I’m still waiting. Boss starting to question why I look more vacant than usual. I can’t tell him I’m daydreaming of a handicap which befits a talent which I have kept hidden for years.........

I knew I should have taken the wife’s surname......

 

[tugglesf239]

Nothing here either

 

[rulefan]

Unless you are a handicap secretary you probably won't be supposed to get one yet.

No E-Mail but saw the pro earlier who had a printed list.

Typically my handicap wasn't on the list due to some confusion over my home and away club and my old club being useless.

Got 2 of my PP's handicap index's after asking if they wanted to know, as I was also intrigued as I sit between the two so thought it may give me some steer on how my Index may look.

One was off +2 now off +4, the other was off 5 and now off 2. When taking slope etc. into consideration for home course they are off +3 and 3 respectively so a 1 and 2 shot improvement.

Quite a difference really and I imagine not likely to impact all of a similar ability to this extent.

Remember the official new caps won't be published until 2 Nov. There still a few outstanding issues with the software and the quality of some clubs' data
