Well I got a cut!

[chrisd]

Our 36 hole open yesterday and in the first round I shot nett 74 CSS74 (SSS71/par71) in the second round it was net 77 CSS74 and obviously the same SSS etc.

I was cut .2 for the morning round. That's now 3 handicap cuts in about 5 comps so could the .2 be an ESR?

looks more like you had a bad hole that got rounded down so were one better than CSS? Pretty sure ESRs are whole shots only

Yes of course, never thought of that, a 6 on the par 3 18th without a shot would do it

So the CSS worked in your favour - swings and roundabouts

I think Chris is also against it...or perhaps not

I am against it by and large, had it been done on SSS I would have started the comp on a lower handicap. I'm still wondering if I'll get an ESR after 3 recent cuts

ESR is activated by 2 rounds of -4 so -1 isn't suffictant to active an ESR flag.

 

[chrisd]

But I have had 1 round of -4, one reduced to -3 on CSS and now -1 so that's 3 cuts

you need two scores of CSS -4, the time between the two rounds will determine what ESR you get

Has to be 2 rounds at a minimum of 4 better than CSS within 10 rounds to trigger an ESR.
1st time will flag an ESR and second one will trigger it. Amount will be dependant on how much the average of the 2 rounds was better than CSS, and what the time interval was.


Note to self: must type faster! :thup:

ESR's are in .5 increments only

Won't flag and ESR - has to be two cuts 4 better than HC

Is it not x2 >-4 against CSS not HC?

Sorry yes against CSS

Good to see you getting some cuts. Clearly playing some decent golf

Thanks Homer, yes I'm pretty content at the moment but just struggling to walk after 36 holes!

I booked today off work because I knew I'd be tired and aching. Proved to be a good shout and done very little today but doze in front of the cricket

Gentlemen, it's not time that's relevant. It's the number of qualifiers between occasions of CSS-4.

Yes I know.....that's what I put... The time between the 2 occurrences, ie consecutive rounds attract the biggest ESR and 10 rounds between attract the lowest ESR
