Mandatory Submission of Matchplay/4BB scores for Handicap

[Golfnut1957]

A lot of people I know would be delighted with that.
All you have to do is get it to within 5’ and pick it up .
No more three putts.
I thought WHS couldn’t get any worse. I was wrong.

Can it be applied in stroke play? Asking for a friend.

I would assume so if it was a four ball strokeplay round. If your partner is already in with a better score and therefore you pick up, MLS comes into play and is your friend.

I think this is an important point. Most likely score is not acceptable in the UK.

If I played a match play in South Africa, it is mandatory to put a matchplay score into the handicap system. The rules of handicapping in South Africa allow "most likely scores" in THEIR rule 3.3. I would interpret that along with rule 2.1a(ii) that I could submit such a score for my England Golf handicap. I have yet to do it but might have a go next February.

I’m not sure of the South African rules but if this round was held in a jurisdiction that follows US rules you must submit this score for/to your England Golf handicap (i.e. your own club).

I thought this was a World Handicap System.
But seems different rules are in force in different countries?
So if we’re stupid enough to follow this will be here soon.

Can see clubs here ignoring this.

Its just too daft.

remember this a Rule of Handicapping and not a Rule of Golf

So no if you do not want to be DQd in a handicap comp or get no points in stableford.
