WHS Personal Changes in Handicap Index

[jim8flog]

Has any body done a comparison of their Handicap Index during the past year or so (via the England Golf portal)

Very interesting for me. I know I have been a rapidly declining player and my index has gone from a low of 7.4 at the start of the 20 up to a current 9.4 (and after the last 2 scores not yet posted even higher).

That would not happen to my handicap under the UHS.

I need some help for my local 9 hole courses.

My handcap index is estimated to be 12.2 by my app.

Par 3 course, 9 holes

24/85 par 27 I get 2 shots for 9 holes

30.6/102 par 33 I get 9 shots for 9 holes

Does this sound right?

Not totally following what you have written.

You H.I is based upon 18 holes so if you are playing just 9 holes you halve your Handicap Index before applying the Slope index

so if your HI is 12.2 divide by 2 = 6.1 . Slope rating of 85. 85/133*6.1 = Course Handicap of 5
Slope rating of 102 102/113*6.1 = Course handicap of 6

Hope I'm in the right thread

When I checked the other day my HI was listed as 14.4, today its 14.5. I played in what was a qualifying comp on Sunday but the comp was abandoned mid way due to heavy rain.

So where would the extra .1 come from, any ideas ?

It seems to be suggested that the correction to use CSS instead of SSS has actually been done.

I think it has. I reduced from 10.0 to 9.8 overnight.

102/113*6.1 = Course handicap of 6

I looked everywhere to confirm that and used online calculators from reputable sites to get those wonky numbers. Your numbers seem much more sensible. I am surprised and disappointed in the sites I used as they should work flawlessly!

Sometimes it is best to use the rules

I'm thinking the same as went from 6.4 to 6.0 without hitting a ball! Takes my course handicap down from 8 to 7

 

[Chinny]

My Handicap Index has changed overnight from 5.6 to 4.1

I've gone through my scores and CSS has definitely been taken into account on all my scores affected by CSS so looks like that issue has been sorted

Just need to sort out CR's and SR's for home club as for some reason EG are using the temporary ratings (Course was rated 1/6/20 and certificated issued a few weeks later so not sure why temp rating being used)

Its been reported and hopefully will be amended for next Monday...

I've gone down by 0.4 overnight, but most of my scores from the past 2 years are not showing. wonder what will be showing next week?

Mind you. Will have to break out of Stalag Cymru next week if I want to play any golf!!

Yes it has - the adjustments are shown in the PCC column on the EG Platform.

Just checked my account on EG Platform and all of my PCC column is still showing 0 but CSS defo used in calculating my differentials. Will check again later

Two of my last 20 (Both NR's) are still not in my last 20 on the EG Platform

Thanks. Ours is ok it seems. But the ladies are still on the wrong course

Not on my record they dont...even though from doing the sums myself I know that CSS has been used!!

 

[IanM]

I've gone into "whatever" mode.... if get to play any golf next month, it'll be off "whatever" it says handicap, it will probably be wrong, but hopefully everyone will all be equally wrong for the same reasons!!

I've WhatsApp'd our playing group....overnight it looks like 6 downs, 1 up and one didn't understand the question!

Same here. It still shows only as 0 throughout the column.

My handicap has changed overnight though from 5.1 to 5.0.

 

[AmandaJR]

Weirdly my worst score is 86 yet there is an 85 not included in the calculation

 

[Whereditgo]

Mine has been adjusted down 0.5 now too

 

[upsidedown]

Dropped to 3.1 from 3.4 overnight which puts me off 3 on home course. In overview I seem to have moved from Shropshire to Somerset !!
