The calculation of the playing handicap for last week-ends competition caused a little confusion among players.
The procedure for determining the playing handicap for last week-end’s 13 hole singles is:-
Using your Course Handicap, apply 95% to same (singles adjustment), and then amend by 13/18th to determine your playing handicap for that competition.
With the different format of competitions being used for the November Christmas Hamper series the formula for calculating your playing handicap will be highlighted in your weekly notes.
