WHS indication

[MendieGK]

Does anyone have an idea of when we’ll be told what our new handicap will be? Surely it won’t be November, the day is all comes into play?

I believe that players will be invited to register/log in to the WHS portal sometime in mid October where they will be able to see their handicap index.

As I understand it from emails received, the WHS system is currently going through a process of generating the new indexes based on historical records and sanity checking the results before "going public".

Lets hope it goes better than the recent A level fiasco

How far back it is likely to date - I've only played in 1 comp this year.

...I hate putting with the flag in, hence the low comps.

You haven’t played in comps because the flag has to be left in? ?

It will look at all of your scores going back to January 2018 (if it needs to go back that far to find 20 scores)

I have only completed 8 out of 21 rounds in that period without multiple NR's on the card

Expecting major increase on handicap

NRs don’t matter just get counted as nett doubles. Same as now

There is a procedure in the program for dealing with less than 20 qualifying scores since Jan 2018.

Looks like it is going to be a very long time before you play another comp then.

As already said NRs count as nett double bogey for handicap purposes.

On your handicap record you need to check the gross differential score (this will have adjusted for the NRs) for each of the last 20 rounds work out the best 8 and divide by 8 for an approximate Handicap Index.
