Your New WHS Index

i always thought that if your comp was running off a particular set of tees, there was a a determined acceptable distance from the relevant stones where it could be moved

Your correct, I think it’s a meter each way for comps.

A lot of clubs with big tee boxes move them around a lot to protect the tee box. I know we use about 20 locations on par 3’s to allow the surface to recover.

But for qualifying comp it needs to be within the limit.

My course would often use a mixture of the forward and back tees on par 3's and at least two par 4's I'm guessing mostly due to prevailing wind that day. Is that all going to be stopped now?

This restriction is only for initial handicap rounds and also for supplementary scores. Competitions can be run from whatever position the movable tee markers are set at.

Except. The movable markers cannot be more than ten metres forward or back of the permanent markers and the overall course length for that set of tees can't be changed by more than 100m either way.

9.8 down to 9.0 for me. I calculated about 8.8 so about right.

My email took ages too, anybody else scores only up to end of September??

Do you need to sign up for a new Golf Ireland account if you already have a Golfnet one ?

Gone from 9 out to 10.3, not showing the October rounds for some reason.

Probably about right, I’ve played utter rubbish for a couple of years.

One thing confuses me though, the list of indices beside each score on your list of scores - what does that represent ? There’s none of mine are close to wha it says is my new Index.

I thought it was what your handicap index would have been at the time.

Gone from 14.3 to 13.8 but will end up having more shots on both white and blues tees in home course.

Only 14 scores on system since 2018 so only using 5 for average. There 3 average/poor scores fro. September that aren't on system yet but dont think I will get a clear picture till get more scores in

Yeah. The one on line one should be the same as your current index. Every one before that is calculated from the 20 rounds from line 2 back and so forth. If there are big differences, could be because you don't have 20 rounds yet.

That’s what I would have thought alright from a logical point of view. For some reason my line 1 is showing WHS index of 9.8 but my WHS Index is up above on the header 10.2
I‘ve 3 pages of rounds in, so way more than 20. It’s odd, on each of the 8 rounds that are highlighted as my counting rounds, none of the WHS Indices are as high as what’s showing up above as my Handicap Index. Meh, it is what it is.

Is there a PCC in your results? There were similar differences on mine before they added PCC data.

Finally a single figure golfer 😂😂

Is that your actual handicap though or just your index?

Methinks we need an explanatory post at the beginning of this thread. So many people have allowed this to go whoosh.

Item number 1: Your handicap index is NOT your handicap.
Item number 2: No, it doesn't stop at the end of September. Monday is go live day
Item number 3: You'll find slope and course ratings here: ncrdb.usga.org
etc.

Came down to 9.3 overnight

My congu h/c was 8.9.New WHS h/c comes out at 7.0 with a course h/c of 8.0..all very confusing
