Yes another £11 for Herts
Your County says:
3.1. Each Member Club shall pay such annual affiliation fees (whether on a per capita basis or otherwise) as shall be set by the Board.
3.3. Annual affiliation fees will normally be invoiced by Members Clubs to their Playing Members as a disbursement.


But no indication of what it is currently

That's a fantastic score.
Score differential of 14.0 seems too low for a 18-over par adjusted gross.

SD should be 16.0.
I don't know what went on there.
Still a great score for the lad.

Yeah, I've tried to get an understanding of it, and I'm not sure myself.
Dewsbury is up on the hills, and it was pretty windy yesterday - I thought he might struggle but apparently not. Slow start with 2 doubles and a triple on the front none, but he made 6 bogies and 3 pars on the back nine - pretty solid considering he's just turned 13. (y)

It looks as though the have given a PCC of +2 even though your screenshot shows PCC of zero for the day.

Anyway - something below 18 for the lad before the end of the year and single figures next year? (y)

Exceptional scoring reductions are a pain to follow, as they are not explicitly highlighted. They effectively revise history. An element that could be improved.

I have to pop 3 cards in to "start" my handicap. First round was +7 gross, 2nd round was level gross and will get my final card completed and signed at the weekend.
If that's not better than level (which it won't be), then my initial handicap will be +2 FFS.

Will need to get some more cards in asap to try and get it to a reasonable number..

Yeah, but worth printing it out and framing it. "That time I had a +2 handicap".

Also - could try entering some very elite comps a la Flitcroft.

When you say 'gross' do you mean in relation to Par or to the Course Rating?
And what was the Slope?

I really dislike the changing history bit of WHS. But, if you are averaging historical results, it's difficult to shove an extra line in your scoring record to do a modification. But instead of going back and changing differentials, they could have an extra column for exceptional modifications to make it clearer.

There probably IS, or at least could easily be, one! However, for 99+% of entries, the value would be zero, so understandable why not in the standard ones! And I don't see it as 'changing history' - simply applying rules - that use past results - to calculate a current value!

In the main Dotgolf portal, that handicap admins have access to, it does explicity highlight exceptional score adjustments. Not much help to the player I guess looking on the MyEG app but then if something appears amiss his first port of call should be his own handicap admin to explain things.
