Competition Handicaps

Posted on 02/05/2021 by greenacresgc

Before starting a round at any course, members need to know two values:

Their currently Handicap Index which is updated every night after a score has been returned
The Slope Rating of the course and tee’s they will be playing off.

At Greenacres Golf Club the Slope Ratings for the 18 hole course are as follows:

Gender	Tees	Holes	Slope Rating
Male	White	1 to 18	116
Male	Blue	1 to 18	113
Ladies	Red	1 to 18	120

To calculate your Course Handicap you need to multiple your Handicap Index by the Slope and Divide by 113.

Gender	Tees	Handicap Index	Adjustment	Result	Course Handicap
Ladies	Red	22.3	x 120/113	23.68	24
Ladies	Red	23.9	x 120/113	25.38	25
Men	Blue	22.3	x 113/113	22.3	22
Men	Blue	23.9	x 113/113	23.9	24
Men	White	22.3	x 116/113	22.89	23
Men	White	23.9	x 116/113	24.53	25

If you are then playing in a competition you need to calculate your Playing Handicap by multiplying your Course Handicap by the following adjustments:

Individual Stableford – 95%
Individual Stroke – 95%
Match Play Singles – 100%
Match Play Four-Ball – 90%

Example
The following example is for the Match Play pairs which is played from the White Tee boxes [Slope 116]

Handicap Index	Course Handicap	Playing Handicap	Shots Given
10.2	10 [10.47]	9
14.7	15 [15.09]	14 [13.5]	5
19.3	20 [19.81]	18	9
24.9	26 [25.56]	23 [23.4]	14

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The option to run a Maximum Score score competition on our handicapping software has been removed in 2021. Which means in our Stroke Play competitions if you want to avoid an NR you MUST return a gross score for every hole.

Under the WHS Rules of Handicapping there is a difference between between not scoring on a hole and not playing a hole.

Player does not hole out
In stroke play competition you must continue to play the hole to avoid being disqualified from the competition and a NR appearing beside you name. In stableford you can decide to pick up the ball.

For handicap purposes these will be limited to the Par of the Hole + two strokes + handicap allowance.

When a hole is not played
The Rules of Handicapping manual lists a number of valid reasons why round may not be completed and some holes are not played.

Examples: you tee of early evening and by the time you finish the fourteenth the light is fading or you get to the eleventh green and bad weather closes the course. In these instances the player must record the fact that they did not complete the remaining holes and for handicap purposes these are scaled up to 18 holes as follows:

At least 10 holes played – for the holes not played net par plus one additional stroke for the first hole not played
At least 14 holes played – for the holes not played net par
