Bit of fun-and-games in the local leagues in South East Wales...
We have two main summer inter-club leagues in addition to the scratch leagues: Wayfarers, handicaps 10-18 ad Hallets 18 and over. (matches played scratch matchplay) Now lockdown over, the plans for this year (post WHS) have come out.
Hallets have been told that the line is now Handicap Index 17.5 and over (this has caused uproar with players who have played for years who have now found themselves excluded)
Wayfarers have been told minimum handicap is Course Handicap of 9.5 and over. (causing mass amusement, cos your eligibility will depend on the venue of the match!) Cue the spreadsheet for where you are in and where you are not
Will make picking teams in Wayfarers funny when you factor in all the other usual variables!
How is this being managed where you are?
