Is there a time limit on how long ago old scores can be used to workout your whs handicap?
I thought I'd read somewhere it was 2 years but I have scores in mine from back in 2018. Three of those are quite low so hopefully they will be deleted soon ?

That will always be happening on a rolling basis.
Once one of the best 8 becomes the 20th score, it will be replaced by whatever the next best in the top 8 is. That could be a worse, an equal or a better score if it's beaten today.

For regular players it's going to be a very normal occurrence.
Absolutely Tram, I started under whs with playing h'cap of 8, have submitted 5 cards so far, ok but nothing spectacular, ranging from 77 to 80 against course index of 72.3 slope 128 and i am already down to 7, with the way my scores are dropping off I only need a couple of similar scores to these to be down to 6, for others though it could go the other way depending on what differentials drop off and what they are replaced with in their best 8.

I'm pretty sure that any 2018 scores in your 20 scores will only disappear when you submit new "counting" scores. I have a few members with 2018 scores in their 20.

Think of it the simple from now on it is how many and not when.

If you still do not have 20 by 2028 (for example) the 2018 ones will still form part of the maths.

I'm sure you're well capable of getting rid of 3 good scores, in no time at all?

Put another GP score in yesterday, dropping a score (20th) which wasn't one of my best 8, it's a good feeling playing knowing that you can't go up, in the event I came down 0.4 to 6.2, well pleased

Just curious, Dave, in this day and age, as to why it needs to specify "shall be a male". What do they imagine would happen if that was not stated in the rules?
All sorts of problems with sorting out Playing handicaps and Indices (given it's taken over three months so far for the latter).

For anyone still with handicap issues resulting from the changeover to the new system, EG are very responsive to emails now that the initial avalanche has subsided.

Over the past week I've had all the data corrected (they deleted the double-adjustment from County comps), plus had a slightly rogue Low Index over-ridden.
After 3 months I now have a correct HI...
They would prefer if any issues go through the club >county>EG route but if your able to get a direct answer all the better.

I got my first official handicap last year after finally taking the plunge and joining a club. I only managed 3 competitions due to a wrist injury which meant that when it came to converting my handicap to WHS they only took one card into account. My CONGU handicap was 15.2 (and falling) but my WHS index is now 10.1!

Feels like it will take a while this upcoming season for it to level out to what it should be.

As you have only 3 counting cards only the best score would have been taken into account. You need to get as many Q comps or casual rounds in over the next few months as you can.

If you only have 3 cards in your H.I. may jump around all over the place until you get a decent number of cards in. It takes 15 cards before the averaging becomes best of the lowest 5 and 20 to be the best of the lowest 8.
