Scottish golf app- projected WHS

[rulefan]

Did i miss you admitting its flawed?

I thought you were the one wanting something new.
I'm happy with what we've got until you show me something better.

The index sheet the club have stuck up from Scottish Golf, i' sure is wrong, anyone under 5 index has the same handicap off all the tee;s be it black right down to the silvers which is 1700 yards shorter??

Is the chart different from the course handicap calculator on R&A homepage?

I'd assume so, its the SG handicap index sheets to convert from Index for what tee to playing handicap, ours has the 5 tee;s rated for men and one another set for Women.

the R&A App gave a vastly diff handicap to what the SG sheets say, though some on here are saying the App is not for UK golfers, so much for World Handicap system then

I think the R&A calculator is fine for UK if you select 'without course rating minus par' though it is confusing!

i don't have it on my phone it was one of the guys at the club. the SG sheet gives me a handicap of 5 off all the tee's (4.2index) there is 1700 yards diff between the blacks and silver tee's yet still have the same handicap off all of them, Black CR 74.6 and silvers 67.1???

Your course handicap is worked out from the slope only - course rating is not used

5 is probably correct on both as you're then effectively playing against the CR which is equivalent to SSS.

the slope is 138 comp to 123 off the silver so should they still be the same?

Yes, both 5 for a 4.2 index. Only then look at the course rating....there's 7.5 shots between the two ratings so in terms of playing to handicap, effectively you've got an extra 7.5 shots off the short tees compared to the back.

Go here

Choose 18 hole and then try both with and without (CR - Par)

Yes you play off 5 on either tee but you're playing against the course rating so effectively you need to shoot 79.6 off blacks and 72.1 off silver. Make sense?!!

Gross or net?

How do you shoot a gross score of 79.6 or 72.1?

 

[abjectplop]

You don't..... possibly poorly worded by me! 79 less the handicap of 5 would have him below the course rating on blacks, and 72 less 5 on silvers would have him below the course rating on silver. Just making the point that despite playing off the same handicap on different tees, a significantly different score is required to play to that handicap.

Phew, this whole thing is confusing enough without trying to hit .6 of a shot

It's basically a 60% backswing on every shot!!!
