​​HANDICAP ADVISOR NOTES - JANUARY 2023

Following our WHS Presentation in January, Martin Olive (SGU) & I have been looking at the Penalty Score and Deleted Score Intent reports for last year for all clubs.

Some of the results were shocking and I think shows a need for an education at club level about General Play scores.
It also showed us that some clubs do not have a Club Handicap Committee or access to the WHS Platform is restricted to just one or two people.  So that is our challenge for 2023.
 
Key points about General Play scores - 
  1. Must be pre- registered before playing either using an App or via the club.
  2. Must be on a Qualifying course – check with your Pro before playing.
  3. A score MUST be submitted unless there is a very good reason.  Note, we can see the reason you have entered!! RAIN is not a good reason. We seem to have lots of fair weather golfers in Somerset.  If you have not completed all the holes it can still be submitted.
  4. Submit your score using the same method you used to register, otherwise you could get a penalty score for the unused method.
 
If you do not put the score in an auto penalty will be applied, the sum of your course handicap + the course rating of the tees you played from. Note, we can see these too!!
 
The clubs handicap committee, which should be a minimum of 3 people mostly members, should be watching these reports and contacting players.
