    Presentation from Golf Ireland said the system doesn't allow dashes etc for scratched holes. I would normally put a dash on a hole I scratch but I don't think you can do that now? or is it just on the computer?

    you surely have to put in a 0.
    if you put in a score its going to skew the results and might amount to cheating.
    if you have a great round but one scratch, lets say a par 5 when you don't have a shot, other than that maybe you were 4 under your handicap.
    stick in in your 7 for net double, now you are 2 under and in the prizes..... but you are not though as you had a scratch.
    the net double is only for handicap.
    i expect to see something like the old clause 19 adj for this.
    again though, we don't know what we will see
    and im convinced people will put the net double scores in
    others won't
    but we haven't had clear instruction !!!!!

    I never thought of it for Strokeplay comps I was just thinking of stableford. No issue with being in the prizes with a scratch on the card in stableford but in Stroke it would be DQ as always?

    How is a DQ for not holing out calculated then? Is it nett double bogey * 18? Or nett double on that hole only?

    Also, what will happen if there is non-returned card? How is the score interpreted for h/c purposes?

    It's not a DQ in strokeplay it is an NR.

    If you enter an NR on a hole you're DQ from the comp but for handicap purposes it goes in as a new double, I think.

    The yellow dots are still there for me.


    They were originally next to the Adjusted Gross but are now next to the Score Differentials of the 8 counting rounds

    Looks to be an issue on the mobile site as can see them now on the mac. Mobile site for me doesn't show all the columns including the score diff column.

    seems to depend on the size of your screen
    the page is not scaling
    need to click and drag the screen to see the right columns

    Above is from the WHS manual.

    It appears that course handicap x 95% also applies for 9 hole singles competitions to arrive at the playing handicap.

    Except GB&I don't add the "9-hole Course Rating - 9-hole par" part.

    so for us it is:

    Course Handicap = (Handicap Index / 2) X (9-hole Slope Rating / 113)

    Afaik, your handicap cert is managed by your golf club. It's an option for clubs to print out from the club side of the Golf Ireland website.

    Thanks Prawn, i'll contact my club.

    Seems strange that we can't do it ourselves- you could on GolfNet

    Of course there is. Any competition where some of the rules of golf are suspended or where the tees used don't match a rated course would be non-qualifying for example.

    It's not the tees in use that determined whether a comp was qualifying or not. under CONGU, All sets of tees on a course had par and SSS.

    I haven't followed the last few pages so apologies if this has been cleared up.

    When I hover the curser over the two end data points on the graph on your dashboard on the Golf Ireland site, my index is shown as 9.8, its also shown as 9.8 beside my last counting round on the table. Yet the main view up above gives me 10.2 - does anyone know why this might be ? I don't have any missing rounds or anything.

    Also, how is the maximum score format compatible with the rules of golf if its a DQ not to finish a hole ? Does max score not count as "strokeplay" maybe ?

    I assume by the 'two endpoints' you mean the last two?

    That assumption made, the issue might be the order of import of scores into the system. As it's a running calculation, this can produce odd data points, but the overall calculation based on your last twenty is correct. Best way to check this is to look at the 'date entered' column to see if some of the rows were imported out of sequence.

    Do we know if we can put in "General Play" cards over the winter for handicapping.

    How does it work if playing 12 holes?

    Two thirds handicap - is it of your exact or your whole number?

    Thanks!
