    The problem is that HM also sticks NR beside a strokeplay return where a hole isn't completed or scratched. The correct procedure is to override that when closing the comp and making it a DQ under rule 3.3c. It seems that the data transfer is dropping NRs where they should have been DQs and the missing hole(s) entered at NDB. It's an error a lot of H/Secs make and really should be corrected.

    Agreed, in HM there is very simply function to DQ somebody with a note. I'd blame the Comp Sec tough :D

    I see a change on masterscoreboard today.

    I can no longer see my handicap history.

    Also clicking "Handicap List" gives "Sorry! Regulation prevents this information being displayed"

    I think this is a transition thing. But is there some new regulation which prevents me from looking up other players handicaps?

    This is not a transition thing. Master Scoreboard (and other similar approved vendors) will be used to process results / enter scores but will not be displaying anyones handicap from here on. WHS now own this data and it will be available on your Golf Ireland page only. So I've been told anyway.

    This is correct. Golf Ireland under WHS pretty much own your handicap, they have forbidden any 3rd party access to show this. This inlcudes our ClubNet product, Masterscoreboard and Howdidido.

    This is not the case in the other Union areas, in England you can still see all your data in your club app or where ever your club posts it.

    We have 68,000 club golfers on ClubNet and our support over the past 4 days has been mainly, "where is my handicap history gone ?". Some very unhappy Club Managers.

    I think what makes this a little hard to swallow is that Golf Ireland have levied every club via their software provider an additional yearly fee to connect to Golf Ireland. So clubs are esentialy paying extra to NOT see their own data !!!

    Shame.

    I always enjoyed having a nosy on MastersScoreboard at other peoples handicaps and how they'd been playing recently.

    But I still think I stand by the fact that this happen three times in 20 rounds (if all were strokes) is careless at best. I dont think I have never had this happen. One round where I definitely made the buffer I had a 10, 11 and a 13. I may even have got a small cut

    There is nothing wrong And nothing careless with this at all. Do you really think people need to try and scramble a 10, 11 or 13 on the 17th or must they head back to the tee to play another ball when they can’t find their ball but are already way out of it in both situations. I think you need to be realistic, this might not be something that happens with a lot of good golfers, but get into Handicaps in the teens and up and it is quite likely it happens in a high percentage of rounds. Unlike yourself, the majority of golfers don’t finish out for their 13.

    Folks
    A little help for a confused golfer if possible. I have spent some time trying to understand the calculation of the score differential and I have to admit I’m lost. The first score the system shows me is the following.
    Cr 72.1
    Slope 125
    Adj gross 87
    PCC 1
    I thought the calculation was (adj gross -pcc - cr) x (113/125) which would be 12.56 but it returns 11.6.
    Any clarity would be appreciated.

    Check if your last 20 scores are like this (if you have that many) & then if score #21 is right? If so, it is an adjustment (of -1.0) applied by the club.

    I have the same issue but mine is -2.0.
    I got an email back from Golf Ireland to say that's what it was and it is the club that apply that adjustment.

    Contacted the HC secretary to ask about it but he hadn't a clue what I was talking about.

    Oh, I didn't know that.

    But in order to print the stickers and calculate results it will need to query WHS to get our handicaps.

    And when displaying results will we still see the handicap indicated like:
    PabloAndRoy 36pts (24).

    Are you sure? I spoke to someone on our committee and he told me they had view to all the clubs handicap data via Golf Ireland

    I was under the understanding that they would have better access to members info

    I only got my handicap back in Sept which was 18. Played in about 8 competition since and never shot under par. Handicap has gone down to 14.5 which seems a bit much?

    Thanks for that. It’s the same issue then as looking at my other scores they are all 1 off. I’ll check with the club then.

    What I mean, that as a member you can longer see your Handicap or Handicap history, anywhere else other than Golf Ireland. Where up to last week it was more than likely on your website, in your clubs app (if they have one) and in Masterscoreboard or Howdidido.

    This is not the case elsewhere, my own opinion is that the club are paying an additional fee to Golf Ireland to link to WHS, they should be able to give access to members in their own platforms.

    I think its ridiculous that you cant see other members handicap indexes. What is the problem with that which inspired them to take that away.

    You would need to give a little bit more information. Your courses rating, slope and your scores would be a good starting point (stableford probably easiest)

    It is indeed ...

    You can search your club members there and see their handicaps.

    Edit: you can also seardch other clubs and see members' HIs but not their history.

    I downloaded the app and it looks good. The course handicap calculator is handy as it just requires a course selection instead of inputting slope ratings


    The downside is that my round history does not display the score differential. Only the adjusted gross.

    Can you tell me what club ? IG took legal action in the UK and won i believe. I know of at least 1 IG Club here that have already complained to the GUI.

    No, it calculates your Course Handicap for all tees in Ireland, 18 hole and 9 hole.

    You apply the 95% for singles stroke/Stableford.
