Are you being re-rated or was the initial rating not actually done

We are due for routine re-rating.

 

[rulefan]

Ours are the same

they can be seen on their home page

I can't see any CH to PH (90% & 85%) conversion tables.

That’s come around quick, we were first done in Devon (2 years ago) and not expecting anyone anytime soon.

I can't see any CH to PH (90% & 85%) conversion tables.

Its on the main Eagle golf front page but due to depth of field its a bit blurred.

Here is a pic I took of one at a local course..

Thanks but because of the shadow I can't make out the column headings.

Thanks.
But shouldn't the table heading be PLAYING HANDICAP rather than HANDICAP ALLOWANCE

Not really as it shows what your allowance is from your course handicap IMO

See post #45

I just showed the relevant portion to your #46 post

It seems to me that (without clarification) these tables could confuse matters as they don't take into account formats for which the playing handicap is unrounded prior to totalling, e.g. mixed-tee, foursomes, greensomes, scramble, etc.

Where is that spelled out?

It's made clear in the examples given in CONGU's guidance.

Could well but if these comps are set up via the ISV players can see via app or psi exactly what they need to know for playing HC, I think the problems will occurs with the rules stating that course HC need to be on the card. My personal thought is that needs to change.

I agree. Howdidido tells players their playing handicap when they sign in to comp. As such, many bypass their Index and Course Handicap, and simply use the App to inform them what their handicap is in the competition.

I just hope the 3 handicap boxes in the card ensure they put their course handicap in. However, I don't think it will ever get through to some that they need to keep trying to hole out in Stableford if they have a shot left on course handicap, if they can no longer score in comp.

Totally agree and I have said that from the off.

The one constant wherever you play and whatever the format for the competition is your Handicap Index.

I would go for PHC myself.

Do you mean this reference to Scotland?

G6.2a
Committees and players should follow the advice of their National Association in the use of the integer or full calculated Course Handicap in the calculation of the Playing Handicap. For GB&I, England, Wales and Ireland will be using the Rounded Course Handicap, whilst Scotland will be using the full calculated Course Handicap.

 

[wjemather]

I would go for PHC myself.

But players must play to their CH for handicapping irrespective of their PH for the competition (or their HI). As such it is CH they need to know, and write on the scorecard

I've already picked up a couple of people about to knock away a short putt on their CH-only shot hole. More education needed.
