Is that because you always know what your CH is ?

No.

Next week I shall be playing at an away course in the County Seniors Championship. It is a scratch event and I won't be paying much attention to my CH.
I will know that if I score nothing worse than a double bogey that I can calculate my SD without knowing my CH.

I know my SDs for my home club for the sort of scores I'm hoping for.
I did not set out to memorise them - it just happened through experience and repetition.
White tees.
78 - 6.2
77 - 5.3
76 - 4.5
75 - 3.6
74 - 2.7
73 - 1.9

If I have scored no worse than a double bogey, I know my SD without reference to my CH. My 5 most recent scores show nothing worse than a double bogey.

Very good, the only comment I can add is the potential for a PCC adjustment which isn’t known exactly until the next day.

And that does not require knowledge of CH either.

I've just noticed that on the England Golf website they use the term, "Daily handicap".

Is that in relation to Australia? That's their 'almost' equivalent to CH.

I believe that the Australian "Daily Handicap" is equivalent to our Playing Handicap For Individual Strokeplay. They use 93% and we use 95%.

However the 93% is applied to all rounds (ie to produce the CH/DH) before the Appendix C Allowances are applied to produce the PH for different types of round.

The 0.93 multiplier should be changed for the other appropriate multiplier for the format of play.



There are anecdotal reports of other methods being done at local levels, as you have described, but the official method is as above.

It was just an observation of the terminology used by England golf. We don't have a "daily" handicap in England.

It isn't EG terminology - it's just a error by the software provider.

Maybe, but you can't blame the software provider. It must have been signed off by the responsible person at England Golf.

That isn't how these things work.
