The ‘quick question’ thread

[timd77]

I often have something I want to post which only requires 1 or 2 responses, seems a waste posting a new thread each time so I thought I’d start this one off!

So my quick question today is, I’m playing with someone tomorrow who wants to put his first scorecard in. How many shots over par on 1 hole is it where he can just pick up and move onto the next hole? I have +3 in my head.

It's not exactly to do with par it depends on his playing handicap. A net bogey is 1 point in Stableford so net double or worse means you can pick up. i.e. triple bogey on a shot hole, but double bogey on a no-shot hole.

Edit: Realising now if he doesn't have a handicap that doesn't really work. Apologies, just ignore me. Just tell him to putt out unless it's for quad.

This is it. I don’t really want to be stood there waiting for him to tap in for a 12!

I’m pretty sure it’s +3 as the maximum handicap is 54 I think? So basically pick up from +4.

The maximum hole score for initial rounds is 5 over par.

Blimey! Ok, thank you

Are you sure we can't have 5 more pages of arguing about someone taking +5 on a hole, even though that is the answer .

I like it, next question.............
