Supplementary Scores

[scubascuba3]

I've had a look at CONGU and i can't see how many supplementary scores are allowed for a HC of 5 in Scotland. Any how many are allowed and how frequent?
It says:
Supplementary Scores: Extensions introduced resulting in Supplementary Scores being:
Allowed in Scotland for handicaps of 2.5 and above;
Acceptable over nine holes for handicaps of Category 2 and above;
Allowed at all GB&I clubs of which the player is a Member;
Unlimited in number of scores per year for those players with a handicap between the agreed maximum handicap (28 for men and 36 for women) and 54.

21.4 A Member is limited to a number of Supplementary Scores in each year as detailed in below:
(a) subject to (d) below, Category 1 players may only return Supplementary Scores during
the period 1 September to 31 December and only to the extent necessary to ensure that
the minimum requirement for Qualifying Scores under Clause 25 is met. Category 1
players may only return Supplementary Scores over 18 holes;
(b) up to a maximum of ten Supplementary Scores may be returned annually by players in
Categories 2 to 4 [5];
(c) there is no annual limit to the number of Supplementary Scores returned by players
holding a CONGU® Club Handicap (Appendix J);
(d) a Union has the discretion to permit Category 1 players with handicaps in the range 2.5
to 5.4 to return up to ten Supplementary Scores in a calendar year. Such scores may
only be returned at the player’s Home club within that Union’s jurisdiction.
Scotland directs that Category 1 players within this handicap range may take up this
discretion. England, Ireland, and Wales make no such direction.

I'm a 3 handicap golfer who struggles due to shifts to play competition golf. I've just put in a supplementary score above my handicap however the club have informed that I cannot as I have submitted 3 qualifying scores this year. This seems to contradict other things I've read regarding this? Any idea if this is correct?

Supplementary scores were initially set up specifically to help people like you. You're club is incorrect in taking this stance. The Current Congu handbook will detail what they should be doing. The club should have a copy. It can be found on line

If you already have three qualifying scores then you shouldn't be able to put supplementary scores in - cat 1 are allowed to put SS to allow them to fulfill the amount of qualifying scores needed to keep Handicap C ( anything more than that needs county discretion and only being valid in Scotland )

The sooner all the Unions start to do the same thing the better, this is just confusing.

As long as you are not a Cat 1 player you can put in up to 10 sup cards, not sure where you have read that you cannot do sup cards if you have played 3q's.

Would be very interested to know.

He is cat 1 hence why I said he can only put in Sup Cards to keep qualifying status

Yes, Scotland like to be different and i can't even blame Sturgeon this time.
Rules should also be the same for strokeplay/matchplay but thats another topic.
