WHS Average of best 8 question

[rosecott]

Because, it could potentially be based on his one very best score, minus 2.0. Yet for most of the rest of us, it would be based on the average of our best 8 scores.

It is also in the rules that Committees can review these types of things, so I believe?

As an example, when we transitioned to WHS and reviewed my mates score record back from 2018, his Index after his 1st 5 scores was +2.0, because he shot an immense 5th round. His handicap index after 20 scores was just over 3.3. I'd have thought it would have been crazy harsh for his low Index was +2.0, given his Index was generally around 3-5 at the time.

No it wouldn't. For all of the rest of us it is based on the best score in the last 365 days - nothing to do with the average of our best 8 scores.

Absolutely NOT based on best score, that is certain
