GolfNet handicap question

D Hayes

I played yesterday in a stroke play comp in my home club. According to GolfNet, SSS was 69, CSS was 72. I shot a 91 off 14, for nett 77. Nett differential was 5. I was expecting to get 0.1 back, but I didn't - it's down as 0 in the HA field.

I thought that my nett diff needed to be 3 at worst in order to save my 0.1 back. Can anyone shed light on this for me?

Did you have any triple bogeys on your card?

If you did the maximum score that would be counted for handicap purposes is double bogey!

That would mean your actual score for handicap purposes could have brought you into the buffer zone and hence no 0.1

Myksyk

Scout353 is probably right. The only other possibility I can think of is that the competition was reduction only.

A long the same lines as was already said, the system converts your acores back into stableford so if you had a big score on a hole a 9 or something it would count as zero points on the hole. Thus getting you back in the buffer zone

D Hayes

Thanks, that probably explains it - I had 4 triples...don't ask!

In that case, shouldn't something have shown in the "19" column?

No placing at all.

I'm not going to complain - I'm taking it as a lucky break and I'll try again next week!

If it was because of some high scores it should show this in the clause 19 section?

That's what I thought too. It's a strange one.

Sure. I've attached it as an image, any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Just realised that it was a QRZ - Qualifying Reduction Only Stroke Play. Thanks to the poster above who suggested that. Problem solved!

Curious as to which of the above is correct. Anyone know for sure ?

Has to be this.

nett double bogey; the best stroke score that gives you 0 s'ford points.

Myksyk

Both are correct. All stroke comps have all scores greater than doubles reduced back to doubles. The stableford score is then calculated to inform handicap adjustment.

Technically only the second one is correct, as the first doesn't state "nett" double bogey. Makes a big difference.

But remember that if you have a handicap of 19 or more the smallest score that will count will be a triple bogey on the holes where you have 2 shots!

It doesn't matter how many shots you have, it's still nett double bogey, so for once greenbo is correct.

Hi MP62, MP52 here.

People have been posting about how the system reduces the score on the hole to nett double bogey which is correct, as you in fact point out. The least score that will be allowed where the golfer has 2 shots on the hole is a triple bogey which equates to zero Stapleford points on the hole. Just mentioning this as some posters have written that the least score applied will be a double bogey, which is not correct.

Bye the way who is "GREENBO".:D and why is he/she only correct for once?

In case you're unable to work it out for yourself, nett double bogey covers all scenarios, but perhaps you like the long winded approach, in which case carry on.

What part of the above are you having difficulty with?

The 2nd scenario need not concern you as you like conciseness.

Ok I get it now, you like to state the obvious and repeat yourself, in which case carry on.

Thank you for allowing free speech, I'm sure you enjoy a debate as much as anybody, but maybe not today.

Myksyk

Yep, I had assumed 'nett' double bogey (hence "reduced back to doubles") but perhaps the poster to whom I was responding didn't have that mind.

scout353

Mea Cupla - I always forget to include the word "Net" when I mention that!

However, I am glad to corrected and that the OP now understands why there was no reduction!
