What do I play off in tomorrow’s Medal

[TheJezster]

And possibly wrong! Which is why the 'complication' is needed!

It's really not. As I said, answered by post 3...

It's really not...

You made an assumption about the type of competition! If correct, fine, if incorrect...see 'complications'.
Even so though, Posts 2/3 indeed answered it.

"38 points in a qualifying competition".
There's nothing to assume.

There is if you're a Professor of Pedantry.....

Agreed - in this case.

Be careful, he'll probably take that as a compliment

Answer is simple

Score 38 points

SSS is 37 points

Cut yourself relevant to the category you are in

If it’s a medal just convert your score to stableford and work from there

Why bother converting every hole to stableford if you only need to record gross scores. Just be aware of the occasional net double bogey.

But remember in three months time the differential formula will be quite different, there will be no CSS and your handicap will be available on your phone by the next morning after the 8/20 calculation has been done (whether or not the comp has been closed).

Because 99.9 % of golfers already do it anyway , and everyone’s HC system ( IG etc ) does it for you

People know Stableford score they have without complicating things too much ( as we can see on this thread )

But it won't work that way from November if you want to know your handicap tomorrow.
If you simply want to know how well you've played, gross - CR tells you.
But the former was the point of the thread.

Which has zero relevance to what the OP asked ? - maybe it’s worth just sticking to the OP to avoid confusion

 

[rulefan]

The point is that that process is redundant. Unnecessary now and useless in 3 months.

The point is irrelevant - the process is currently not redundant and is still very much used at the moment. The thread has nothing to do with November

Thanks!

To close the thread, I finally received the handicap adjustment from Friday. (There was a bit of an admin faff that held up the closure). I was cut from 12.5 to 12.0, CSS 72 (Par 72). Cut of 0.3 and0.2. I had played the Club Medal on Saturday at 12 and the Seniors Open at Harrogate also at 12.
thank you to all who advised me.??

 

[berniethebolt]

I was going to query why none of the experts noted that playing off 13 the first cut would be 0.3 but obviously the system coped!

 

[SammmeBee]

Given that the gross score is on the card (ie the only figure that must be). Subtract the handicap and subtract the CSS/SSS. All done.
But each to his own.

What if he had a blob?
