Hi Rf this was posted the other day. The only thing it doesn't cover is the handicap going above 36

My post #19 shows how it can go beyond 36.

Yes, and the justification for that is that the additional strokes are to equalise matters between the players playing from different tees - i.e. effectively on different courses. It would be unfair to leave a player on her 36 handicap since there would be no equalisation. She would still be at the stroke disadvantage the process is designed to compensate.

I'll thank everyone for their replies on scouser's behalf.
This has now cost me £2.
From now on I'm going to somewhere, where people come up with ham fisted answers........

That's brilliant thanks all
But one last question Rose and Colin...
The extra shots that take her to 38 I take it that means 3 shots on SI 1 and 2?
Also LB it's a quid u r down because technically u never won

It would, but I thought we had it was established that she would only get 2 extra shots.

I wasn't being specific about how many equalising strokes, just offering a general justification for adding them on even if it put a handicap above 36.
But if, for example, the player receives 2 equalising strokes which puts her handicap to 38, Scouser's question was to do with where these additional strokes would be applied in terms of the Stroke Index (SI). On her 36 handicap, she would already be receiving 2 strokes on SI 1 and 2 and yes, the additional equalising two would be applied to those holes, bringing her total handicap allocation on SI 1 and SI 2 to 3 strokes.
NB All of this would apply to the less common situation where a man was receiving equalising strokes: these could take him over 28.

Its not, it's £3, as I have the £2 wiinings here, so that plus my £1 is £3.
Too bloody honest, me.
