Quick poll on your new handicap index

- Start date
I was off 16 and new index says 14.5 I was expecting it though as our course was given a slope of 131 off the whites, which is higher than most of the other courses in the local area. But I think that means I'll still get the usual 16 shots on my home course??
Unfortunately two of my best eight counting scores are 19th and 20th on the list, so in all likelihood it will balance back out to 16 index anyway after my next two comps.

CONGU handicap 6.1
Indicative WHS Index 7.2
With our White tee slope of 138 my Course handicap comes out at 9....
95% of that still gives me 3 shots more on the same course as my 6.1 was achieved at.

Currently off 12 exactly...WHS index is supposed to be 11.2 but I've played a couple of comps in October that aren't reflected in the Index yet.
At our club 50% of players have lower indexes than their Congu handicap, 30% higher and 20% are exactly the same. The vast majority of those who have stayed the same are those who dont have 3 scores in their record since Jan 2018 and have been automatically allocated an index the same as their Congu handicap.

My handicap Index will be 1.5 lower than my CONGU Handicap was, however my Course handicap will be 1 full stroke higher than my CONGU handicap was.
There isn't a "in Scotland so no idea yet" option...
And similarly, Wales not yet declared the vote! Mind you, the geezer has banned all golf in Wales will 9th November... I guess there is no connection between that and the WHS date !

Congu = 19.5
WHS = 17.1 so a course hcp (white) of 20 and a typical playing hcp of 19.
It does seem to have lost four of my qualifiers tho so I'd expected a little bit higher. The scores were from quite a while ago so who knows. And no CSS yet.

Congu 10.4
WHS 9.6
Can't quite see the logic in it as it's been a terrible few years for my game. Still, the slope at my gaff will give me an extra few shots, so there's that..
Oh, and I'm hearing strong rumour that the CSS hasn't been used to calculate the initial index as shown on the EG Website. So mine might come down some more yet.. Joyous..

From 14.1 to 13.7 although i probably haven't got a full 20 scores. At my course that puts me off 13 for yellows and 14 for whites, but I gain 3-4 shots at other courses I've played recently. Part feel they've put the slope rating at my course lower than it should be as I don't feel there is that much disparity if I knew the other courses better.
Congu 20
Index 18.4
On the course I play the slope adjusts it to 20 so when I play at home there is no change. That makes sense when I think about it.

Was on 23
New HC is 26 off the whites
25 off the yellows
Imurg is up 3 to 9 and CVG is up 5 to 18, but he is a grandad.
We are playing a bounce game tomorrow and will try out the new numbers and report back 👍

CONGU 15.1
WHS index 15.9, playing handicap from the white and yellow tees 18.
I've had a very poor couple of years playing so I'm not surprised by this depressing turn of events.
