Are you back to having a par score for a golf course and members either shooting a net score under par, level par or over par.
Do you still have a buffer zone (also known as the duffer zone) which used to be one of two shots over the CSS for the competition.
Cut to 5.9 brutal 0.8 cut.😄

It's more fluid now and a bit more exciting for a statto like me islay.

It's an average of your best 8 rounds out of your last 20.

No buffer zone, it's basically you against current hcap and course.

Of my last 20 rounds, my best are rounds 1,2,4,6,7,8, 10 and 12.

Once round 12 gets to round 21 it will drop off.

So for the next 8 rounds I have a free hit as my hcap can't go up only stay the same or go down.

When you have one of your best 8 at number 20 (IE away to drop off) that's when hcap will go up unless you replace it with a like for like round or better.

Now that I have mastered golf I'm going to learn Cantonese, reckon 3 mths.😎
