hi all,
after advice for my father, he's 67 and been playing about 30 years and until last month had been playing of 10 for about 5 years. he had a good round and shot gross 7 over, was dropped to 9, then had another similar and was dropped .5ish to take him to 8 handicap, exact was about 8.2
last weekend he played to gross 6 over, and the committe has dropped him by 2 shots to 6 exact. stating there is new national rule in place this year stating that if you put together several consecutive rounds under handicap they can drop you by up to 2 shots rather than the usual .5/.6 etc
we've never heard of this and considering the old man's only shot to 6 once in his life and below 9 twice this seems very harsh, the local pro hasnt heard this only that it sounds like an old 'general play' rule he called it. and as yet the committe have not been able to provide the exact rule info.
anyone else heard of this and is this right?
ta muchly
