Well it's one sum so I didn't think plural was appropriate.
Maths.
It's more arithmetic really.....but doing the arithmetic sounds like some kinda dance routine.

All courses and tees are rated now islay.
All based on 113.....as an average course.
So.....drumoig yellow 125, drumoig green 121.
So say I go and play carnoustie back tees say 138 (don't know if it is)
I take my 6.8 handicap x 138 ÷ 113.....to get my playing hcap for that day......8.3 ....so 8
Every course has a board though but I like to do the MATH.😁
Similarly an easier course say 108.
6.8 x 108 ÷ 113.....6.5.......still 7.
System has many good points and a couple of wee snags.
I'd class handicap as a form guide now rather than an old style hcap.....much more reflective of how you are currently playing especially if you play 2 or 3 times a week......bounce games can also be hcap counting now.
I kept a note of what my hcap wuda been under old system.....ie up .1 outside buffer etc.....had to have a bit of guesswork on what CSS would be but ihad me at 7.1 under old system.
Thanks for the information. It looks like the SGU have taken a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
I am surprised that bounce games also count for the new handicap system.
It will only be a matter of time before gimme putts are counted as part of the new handicap system.
