WHS working well for me

[jim8flog]

Edit: I'm using the golfpad app and I've marked all my shots so it's rightly counted 9, but I guess I should just scrub some of them off and put it down as a 7, so it works out the net score correctly.

Thanks!

You can only do this in a stableford comp,

When you reach the score at which you would score zero points in a stableford comp you do not need to write in any score or you can put in a 0 or NR it is all the same for handicap purposes. (You also do not need to complete the hole when you reach that point).

I shot 80 off the whites yesterday but I only dropped from 15.6 to 15.0. Disappointing, I was hoping it would go to 14. Still a guessing game.

Its completely logical. No guessing required.

Too much maffs involved. ??‍

But not if your HI is capped

Yep. And exceptional score reduction. Flow chart just gives the basic outline. Lots more maffs involved in total to cover all eventualities.

Absolutely not, you put down the number of shots you took on the hole, the nett double bogey adjustment os for handicap purposes worked out by the computer afterwards.

I think this was my confusion. I always put my total score but thought the app should put the score for handicap purposes and not just the net score.

I’ve just started playing again after being away for years, will be new to this system and have just submitted 3 cards and received my new handicap.

It does, look at your handicap record, it will show any adjustments to your gross score for handicapping purposes.

I really haven't been paying attention to the details.....just letting things fall where they will as far as handicap calculations. But.....yesterday I put in a score from a social round.....I was on 7.2 and playing 8 at Knaresborough. It was an ok round and was 10 over. Wake up this morning and I'm dropped to 7.0 and on the graph they have it down as 8 over for yesterdays score. Mystery to me.....

Did you have any bad holes? They'd be rounded down to nett double bogey.

Just one double on the 2nd hole. A couple of birdies kept me at 39 on the front 9. 43 on the back with a lot of near pars...but only 2 pars with 7 bogies. Back 9 is harder.

The graph shows Score Differentials, which are your standardised score relative to the Course Rating after taking Slope into account. The best 8 of your most recent 20 SDs are averaged to produce your Handicap Index.

For this round, your SD was 8.8, which must now be one of your best 8 and resulted in your HI coming down.

^^^^what he said. What is the score that is now your 21st? It should be higher than that 8.8 differential.

 

[Mandofred]

21st round was a stinker....not one that counted. 92.

In case you do not know how to work it out

Score Differential = (113 ÷Slope Rating) x (adjusted gross score –Course Rating – (0.5 x PCC adjustment))

Hence your score differential of 8.8

It is then simply a case of seeing if this differential has become one of your 8 knocking out a score which was higher in your previous 8. It does not have to be the the 21st.

nett 64 (gross 74) and a medal win gets me to 7.3

never thought i'd ever be good enough to get to single figures with my driving distance but a great short game has got me to my goal.

next on the list is to break par.... have a feeling that will be one step too many unless i have a growth spurt at 32 or hit the gym to gain 105-110 swing speed

The real challenge is to beat the Course Rating.

You can manipulate breaking par by finding an easy short course (i.e. one with a Course Rating that is many strokes under par, and maybe a sub-100 Slope Rating). There are a few courses local to me with a CR of more than 4 under par from some of the tees.

I put a card in yesterday...score diff of 10.5
The card that dropped off was a 14.6 and a non-counter
I already had a 10.5 diff as one of my 8 and yesterday's card has replaced that as a counting score...
No change to handicap but why did the 2nd 10.5 replace the first 10.5 ..?
They are the worst scores of my best 8..
All I can think of is that the first 10.5 was shot from an index of 7.6 whereas the 2nd from an index of 7.0.
But if the score diff is the same.............???

It will keep the most recent one, as that will take the longest to drop off your last 20 rounds
