I am probably missing something really obvious, but I do not understand my handicap adjustment this weekend.
I shot 82_10_72. The CSS was 72. I had a quadruple bogey 8 and a triple bogey 7. In my mind the Stableford Adjustment would take 2 off for my 8 and one off for my 7, giving me an adjusted gross score of 79, and a net 69, cutting me by 0.6.
In fact, on my handicap record, the Stableford adjustment is only -1, so I was only cut 0.2.
Can one of the gurus explain, please?
 
I understand now. I only get 1 cut for my 8 because net score is 7 and 6, not 8 and 7. Thanks. I am a clod.

from the manual for reference

19.1/1 Example of Application of Score Adjustment Using Nett Double Bogey
A competitor playing from a handicap of 15 returned a nett score of 70 in a Stroke Play Qualifying Competition. This equalled the CSS of the day. The scorecard, however, contained an 8 at the par 4, 5th hole which was Stroke Index 6. In this instance, therefore, the nett double bogey score was 7 (4+2+1) resulting in the 8 being reduced to 7 (for handicap purposes) with consequent reduction in nett score to 69 and a handicap reduction of 0.3.
