    Hi,

    I've had to go on leave of absence due to an injury. My sub was due by end of Jan so i explained to the manager that i didn't know how long it would be before i would be able to play again. He said to apply for a leave of absense which i did.

    I noticed there that i can no longer log in to brs and my name is now not in the list for the club on howdidido.

    Question is: what is the story with my handicap now? How long can i be inactive before i lose my current handicap?

    Try here- the 2012 CONGU H/CAP manual.

    http://www.gui.ie/uploads/docs/4495_congu_2012_correct.pdf



    24.7 A player’s handicap is lost immediately he ceases to be a Member of an A iliated Club or loses his
    amateur status


    25. STATUS OF HANDICAP
    25. A Union may direct that the handicap of any player, in whatever Category:
    a) who returns a stipulated minimum number of Qualifying Scores in a period between Annual
    Reviews, or during the previous calendar year, shall be marked as a ‘Competition Handicap’ or
    b) who fails to return a stipulated minimum number of Qualifying Scores in the previous calendar
    year shall be marked as an ‘Inactive Handicap’.
    Ireland does not so direct.
    25.2 A Union may direct the status of handicap that is acceptable for entry into for competitions where
    a CONGU® Handicap is required.
    Ireland does not so direct.
    Note 1 Handicap Committees have discretionary powers in very exceptional circumstances to allow the
    retention of a ‘Competition Handicap’ or ‘Active Handicap’ where ill health or injury has
    precluded a player from returning the specified number of scores in accordance with Clause 25..
    Note 2 The procedures for administering the Status of Handicap shall be the subject of separate advice
    provided by Unions to A iliated Clubs



    Hope some of the above helps.

    I wouldn't worry too much about it as they'll generally give u a similiar handicap when u get back playing as they will take ur previous handicap into account.
