New Handicap -UK

[Teebs]

Hi all,

New member of my golf and I need to establish a handicap.

I have the cards ready to put in, presume I can hand the physical cards to the Pro and they'll get processed that way?

Thanks

If not, they'll tell you who will process them. Might vary from club to club, but that's where I'd start.

 

[Teebs]

Thanks.
Just for my understanding

Par 72
CR 69.7
Gross 74 would give me an initial handicap of 3 (74 & difference of Par minus CR minus 2).

That would be my lowest of the 3 cards..

Score differentilal = 113/slope x (adjusted gross - cr - pcc)

Once you have got an initial handicap it works like this

Also depending on where you had you previous handicap I believe you could hand them a print out of your previous record and they can input the last 20 scores on to your UK record.

What is the Slope?

 

[wjemather]

It is not acceptable to simply produce three scorecards from any (seemingly) random rounds that have played. Scores for initial handicap follow the same rules as any other General Play scores - rounds must be pre-registered for handicapping using whatever method(s) is available/in use (MyEG, PSI, mobile app, logbook, email, etc.), and attested (signed) by a marker acceptable to the handicap committee.

Most of the advice online is either app based 54 hole score or physical cards marked 'for handicap purposes' - handed to the Pro or secretary. Dated, signed by both player and attester

That's all ok but what is the Slope?

 

[Teebs]

127.

That advice is correct, but only in a basic sense. England Golf have stated that rounds for initial handicap must be pre-registered, and the club handicap committee may place restrictions on who may certify the scores.

Makes sense. Cheers

127.

(113/127) x (74-69.7) - 2
Looks like your Handicap Index is 1.8

Thanks for that. 1.8 feels about right..

Thanks for that. 1.8 feels about right..

What were your other two scores?

 

[Teebs]

74 & 76.

 

[rulefan]

74 & 76.

Have you played elsewhere before?

When and where did you last play before these cards - if you have comp or general play rounds already recorded then all you need is your CDH number
