Handicap Update

There are two changes taking effect on the 1st November:

1. The removal of the automatic recalculation of handicaps when a net 3 under par score is entered.

2. The change to the 72 hour late score entry penalty calculation which now reads as follows:

8.5 Time limit on entering scores
A score should be returned within 72 hours of the completion of a round. The period of 72 hours is taken from 19:00 on the day of play to 19:00 three days later. Scores not returned during this period, will result in a penalty score, computed as per section 8.6, being entered on the player’s behalf. Such scores are not to be deleted or modified by the player’s home club, unless exceptional circumstances warrant such action.

8.6 Penalty Scores
A penalty score is the lowest differential of the player’s last 20 recorded scores added to the Standard Rating of the course played, or such penalty as the club handicapper may decide, based on the circumstances around the failure of the player to enter the score. Where the late entered score is equal to or lower than the players lowest of their last 20 differentials, the system will allocate a 1 penalty stroke for handicaps below 4 , and 20% of the players handicap for handicaps above 4 to a maximum of 4 strokes, and email the details to the club for the handicapper to review and adjust where necessary.

Each time a penalty score is allocated, either by the computer system, or the club handicapper, a test will be made according to Interim Revision rules in 9.2.5.
