World Handicap System (WHS)

[woofers]

I think you're missing my point, the decimal points are irrelevant and not my issue.
The point I was making is that he now has several different numbers that can be deemed his handicap.

Great.
You understood Exact and Playing Handicaps in CONGU though? What about CSS being potentially different from SSS being different from Par ? You understood that ?
But you ‘can’t be arsed to read through this thread’ and your ‘old man doesn‘t “do” emails’. Have you bothered to keep up to date with England Golf or your clubs attempts to educate members about WHS?
You must be a delight to communicate with.

Seriously??

So i now have to explain to him that for an average Saturday medal he has a Handicap Index of 17.4, a Course Handicap of 19.7, and a Playing Handicap of 18.7.

You do realize i'm going to get sworn at and possibly something thrown at me!!

What clown thought this was a good idea?

Well pretty much everyone is used to the likes of how shot allocation works in Pairs matches, so not all that different.
It wouldn't be too much trouble for someone to create a chart (for each tee set at the club) that could provide the translation - especially for the likes of Medals. All it needs is 2 columns (per tee set) - Index Range -> Playing Handicap (rounded)

It does not matter if a player gets the Stableford points wrong. The committee is responsible for applying the handicap to get the stableford points and any errors in stableford points are corrected by the software. It is a mistake often made by players under the current system...

And I believe this has always been the case!!

I just dont see the comparison between rounding up or down to get your playing handicap on the old Congu with this new system. A lot of people will be confused by it.
Like I said previously I personally dont bother much with my handicap, I'm more interested in scratch results, so I chose to ignore the emails. I just dont care, certainly not enough to look up England Golf when I live and play in scotland.
I cant answer for the old fella reading his emails or not, but I know he glazed over when I started trying to explain the handicap index wasnt his actual handicap. I dont think he'll be alone, and the very fact this thread is 85 frickin pages long would suggest the same.

 

[lobthewedge]

I don't think I was. I was making the point that pre WHS, he had an exact handicap and "calculated" a playing handicap from it.

I understand where you are coming from, but rounding up or down to a full number is entirely different from this if you ask me.
Just my opinion though.

Is this chart wrong?

That looks right

That looks to me like the chart used at the workshop in the slides. This was the original chart which was amended

The correct chart can be found in this

Anybody know if there’s a pre registering for a round option on the IG app or webpage? or would I expect to see an option on the computer?
I know HDID have this option.

Hope it’s not down to our handicap chaps because they are pants and lazy.

I've never used it but go to Handicap and click top right. It needs location services turned on. Looks like you can register there, not sure what happens after that.

I would of never found that!
Had to update the app and turn the phone on and off for it allow me to enable location services.
Should be set for the morning.

Yes there is and you can find a video on youtube on how to use it. You must be at the course to start the process at it time stamps entry to ensure you register before the round an not after.

Just remember (at this time of the year in particular) the courses must be in qualifying rounds condition e.g. no more than 2 temporary greens ( Bit frustrating I was going to one today and we still have 3 such greens), if your course has a winter course set up it must be a measured course.

Does anyone else show a different index at the top of the screen and then underneath My Scores?

My headline figure shows 8.2 but the latest index under My Scores shows 7.6.

I believe that’s the lowest handicap index you have had at one point

 

[Humpy]

That doesn't seem to be the case as the index showing alongside a score I had in November 2018 was 2.9!

Isn’t the figure against the scores the Handicap Index you had when you played that round.

Have you consented to your club giving your email and date of birth ? if not, that could be the reason.
Alternatively have you registered with England Golf to activate your account?

Possibly although on the graph that is also shown, the green line denoting the index is under 8.
