Yes, without seeing the OP's scoring history, we can only guess what has gone on. The wording from the OP and the handicap sec indicated a double -2.0 adjustment, due to the extra manual adjustment. However, if the message has been lost in translation (which is easily done), it may be that the OP has correctly had only 1 ESR reduction. Without seeing his last 20 scores we are only guessing.This is also not true. If we take my analysis from #7 and instead of the highest counting SD being replaced, we say the lowest counting SD was the 20th; then it's entirely possible that this very exceptional score only resulted in a relatively small reduction in index (say 0.5) in addition to the automatic 2 stroke exceptional scoring reduction. An additional 2 stroke reduction would then be needed to reach the 4.5 reduction experienced by the OP.
