Texas Scramble

[Beezerk]

Morning, it’s a long thread so I’m not reading it all.
Our society has a pairs Texas scramble this coming Saturday, handicaps are 35% lowest handicap + 15% highest handicap?
I bloody hope so as that’s how I’ve worked it out lol.

It should be 25% low/ 15% high

Sorry.

Sorry.

No. 35% and 15% is correct, and I believe 2 player scramble allowances produce more potential winning teams, being fairer all round.

Go to here:

https://www.wpga.org/hdp/whs/Rules of Handicapping_USGA_Final.pdf

and look at page 91. This link is live, so i assume is the latest document. It says 35 and 15%

That is an unfortunate error. It's 35/15 everywhere else, including in the rules (pg. 93) and guidance (pg. 45).

Also, at least if you use Club Systems, this is a screenshot of the handicapping page for a 2 player scramble.

Apologies to Beezerk and IanMcC, the EG document that I have is inexplicably wrong and also is the first one you get if you google it. 35/15 is of course correct.?
