Handicaps

Maximum handicaps of 28 for men and 36 for ladies apply
Here are the current handicaps of members of the Society which apply to all Society meetings. Known club handicaps are also shown. If members have a lower club handicap they should declare it to the Secretary and play off that handicap. Members should also notify the Secretary if their club handicap increases whereupon the Committee may decide to increase the members' Society handicap accordingly, based on recent Society performances.

With effect from 29 July 2010 and as amended in May 2011, the Society adopted the following handicapping system:
 
  • Score below 23pts - handicap increased by 2
  • Score from 24 to 29pts - handicap increased by 1
  • Score from 30 to 32pts - handicap increased by 0.5
  • Score from 33 to 36pts - handicap unchanged
  • Score from 37 to 38pts - handicap reduced by 0.5
  • Score from 39 to 40pts - handicap reduced by 1
  • Score from 41 to 43pts - handicap reduced by 2
  • Score 44pts or over - handicap reduced by 3
Half point handicaps shall be rounded up. In addition, Society handicaps will not be raised above official club handicaps
Where new members do not have a club handicap, they should indicate their average gross score and the Committee will decide on a suitable handicap which will not be higher than 20  for men or 28 for ladies. This may be revised outside the above rules after two Society rounds.
