Pairs matchplay Handicaps

[Deleted member 30522]

I still know of groups in their informal little get togethers who use the old 90% of the difference method when playing 4BBB because they stubbornly believe that the old and new methods deliver exactly the same results in all cases.

The old method wasn't 90%

The old method wasn't 90%

Pre WHS the 4BBB matchplay allowance was 90% of the difference from the lowest handicap.

Post WHS it is the difference of 90%.

We have one of these boards along with the slope and % boards all displayed together. Amazed how many clubs only have the slope board on display.

We are looking at havng 3 boards. Go to board #1 to get your course handicap. Move along to board #2 to find the required % for the competition that you are playing. Finally use the % boards to find your playing handicap for the day. A little simple maths might then be required for matchplay before moving onto the tee to play golf.

Our board by the pro shop has this printed on it next to the course handiy lookup tables, yet few people manage to read it

I have printed off my clubs version of @BanchoryBuddha’s table and have it tucked in my scorecard holder. I never need to wonder or ask, and I can immediately resolve any disputes or disagreements over this stuff.
