There's plans for a level -1

[islaydarkblue]

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.

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.
