did it twice in 2 rounds last year lol, 6 capper, played 28s back to back (managed to beat 1 of them)
do you not have seeded draws at the start??

Surely handicaps are there for a reason and so if there is more than 18 handicap difference full shots should be allowed. If not why bother with the handicap?
Fine if handicaps were based on more than a minimum of only 3 returns a year!
I say good on your club, anybody needing more than one shot a hole shouldn't playing anyway IMHO
The number of cards returned per year is totally irrelevant, if people want to manipulate their handicap it doesn't matter if they return 3, 10 or 50 cards a year. They will still miss the odd simple tap in or duff a chip if in danger of getting cut.
I believe that 99% of golfers are not bandits and want their handicaps to be as low as possible. As for the other 1%.......
The estimate is 4 million golfers in the UK so we have 40,000 bandits.
And 25% of those are retired

Hi, couldn’t find definitive answer on this.
In foursomes Is it half of combined handicap in full or the fractions?
IE we are in next round of a tournament and we have 16.5 + 16.2 vs 7.4 + 8.7 so are we 33-16 then halved = 8.5 so 9 shots
Or is 32.7 - 16.1 = 16.6 halved so 8.3 so 8 shots?

I don't believe you ever use exact handicaps when calculating stroke allowances under CONGU.
The more common discussion for foursomes is whether you round any calculation of a pairs handicap before establishing the difference or not (and then potentially round again) or not, and the answer is that you simply establish 50% of the difference in combined playing handicaps and then round once (if necessary)
We have a chart for Greensome allowances , if you Google search Greensome handicap allowance chart.:thup:
