Handicap Calculation
RETURNING PLAYERS
For a returning league player, the calculation is based upon the average of the player’s last three league rounds, including rounds from the prior season.
This average is then compared to our league handicap table to determine the player’s handicap.
For example, scores of 84 + 86 + 88 = 258 divided by 3 produces an average score of 86.
A player with an 86 average score results in a handicap of 11 per the handicap table.
NEW PLAYERS
A new league player will develop their handicap in a different manner until they have played three matches.
Their first match handicap will be determined by direct comparison of that player’s match score to the handicap table.
A first match score of 86 leads to a handicap of 11.
This handicap will also be used for their second match.
Their third match handicap is calculated by averaging their first two round scores and then comparing that score to the handicap table.
APPLYING PLAYER HANDICAPS TO A PLAYER SCORECARD
The player with the lowest handicap in the foursome receives zero handicap strokes for the match.
If two or more players tie for the lowest handicap, they receive zero handicap strokes for the match.
The remaining players in the foursome subtract the lowest player handicap in the match from their handicap to determine the number of handicap strokes they receive for the match. the maximun number of handicap strokes received is 18. The minimum is zero.
Example of a match playing on the front to middle nines
John Smith's handicap is 8. Pete Jones is 10. Tom Hall's is 14 and Joe Wells' is 17.
John receives zero strokes.
Pete receives two strokes (10-9=2)
Tom receives six strokes (14-8=6)
Joe receives nine strokes (17-8=9)
Each players strokes are then assigned in ascending order beginning with the number one hadicap hole and are reflected on the scorecard with "x" or some other mark on the relevant cprresponding holes. See the sample scorecard below for an illustraion of the stroke assignments.
