thanks very much......

quick question re handicaps....

Playing off 17, last week had 36 points, including 4 "1" pointers and 2 scratches. 38 won the competition, with two 36s 2nd and 3rd.

I think 73 was the competition scratch (par71). I got cut but by 1.0....I assumed by would have got cut by 0.6.....

not worried that I got cut just wondering why or was it under "observation"...

Was it a Stableford competition?
If it was strokes then your "scratch" holes would get cut to the lowest number that still gets you 0 stableford points (Clause 19 adjustment on glofnet.ie)

If you logon to golfnet.ie you can see exactly why/how you were cut.

If the CSS was 73 then the cut should have been .6. It's not possible for you to be cut an even shot (1.0). You differentials for class 3 are multiplied by .3

you could have been cut on general play observation.

don't complain, its all in the right direction.


FYI, for handicap calculation they will only take a double bogey as highest score. So your scratch becomes double bogey and because you were off 17 one of them becomes a 1 pointer.

bus as quoted above you can't be cut 1.0 becasue you're in class 3 which means you get cut .3 for every shot better than CSS.

sounds like you got cut on GP.

Firstly the OP talks about his 36 points and 38 points winning so one would have to assume it was stableford.

Secondly clause 19.3 only applies to strokes competitions where for handicap puposes, the worst score that can be recorded is Nett double bogey which is a 7 on a par 4 for someone with a shot on the hole. It is the lowest score possible where in stableford terms the player would get 0 points. Applying clause 19.3 could never result in a scratch becoming a 1 pointer.

Clause 19 / SPA is specifically there to deal with scratches in QS compititions.

you're spot on with the net double bogey mind you so apologies for that one but there's no clause 19.3 only 19.1/2 from what i cn see in the congu handbook:

19. STABLEFORD/NETTDOUBLE BOGEY ADJUSTMENT
The purpose of the Stableford Adjustment is to place a limit on the maximum score that can be
recorded at any hole in order to make handicaps more representative of a player’s potential ability.
This control is for handicap purposes only. It has been introduced to lessen the impact of the
occasional ‘bad’ score on a player’s Stroke Play return and to reduce the incidence of ‘No Returns’ that
can, on occasions, represent an undesirable proportion of the competition entry. It also allows a player
who does not complete a hole, for any reason, to continue to record a score for handicap purposes,
thus sustaining his golfing interest and at the same time providing useful handicap information. It is
important that competitors are made aware of the intent of this clause and encouraged to take
advantage of it.
The Stableford Adjustment should be applied to all Stroke Play Qualifying Scores irrespective of
whether they are made at the Home Club or at another club. See Clause 8. 0(a).
9. Scores returned in Stroke Play Qualifying Competitions, whether or not all 8 holes have been
completed,must be adjusted to the Nett Differential that would have applied if the competition had
been a Stableford Qualifying Competition. No points shall be recorded on a hole where there is no
score.
9.2 This adjustment is for handicap purposes only and, notwithstanding the provisions of sub-clause
23.2, reductions of less than one stroke shall be made under this clause.
Appendix C sets out a short alternative procedure and supplementary recommendation for calculating
Stableford point score reductions authorised by this clause.
19.1/1 Example of Application of Score Adjustment UsingNettDouble Bogey
A competitor playing from a handicap of 5 returned a nett score of 70 in a Stroke Play Qualifying
Competition.This equalled the CSS of the day.The scorecard, however, contained an 8 at the par 4, 5th
hole which was Stroke Index 6. In this instance, therefore, the nett double bogey score was 7 (4+2+ )
resulting in the 8 being reduced to 7 (for handicap purposes) with consequent reduction in nett score
to 69 and a handicap reduction of 0.3
Had the competitor made a ‘no score’ at the 5th hole rather than an 8 e.g. he lost a ball and did not put
another into play, the effect, for handicap purposes would have been exactly the same i.e. a nett double
bogey score of 7.
By taking advantage of this clause and completing subsequent holes, competitors have the opportunity
to return scores below their handicap or within their Buffer Zone even though they do not have a
competition score.

You are correct.

19.3 always sticks in my mind for some reason
