NB. England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales are listed individually.

Cheers. Looks like we don't currently have any 9 hole ratings.

Still 3 comps a week, so not quite. Just not qualifiers.

Glad I do not play at your club.

Personally I believe handicaps should reflect all conditions not just summer ones and at one time winter was when I used to see my handicap come down not go up.

I have just lost the best score of the year from my 20 and it was shot at the beginning of March, softer greens and better control of the golf ball in winter.

We don't have any comps in winter and as we use mats in the first cut and semi you can't have qualifying score because of that. So no cards between end of Oct and end of march.

That's surprising as the 9 hole ratings are produced as a by-product of the 18 hole process.
Are the two columns blank or missing?

PM your club name and I'll have a look

What’s the best way to stop individuals putting in a load of general play cards over the winter period in order to inflate their handicap?

Why do you not want other people's handicaps to represent how they are playing?
