Tour Handicaps
From the 2021 Season we have decided to revamp our handicap rules as some had been cut way below what was playable.
​
All players can start the season with a new handicap. Be honest with what you think you should play off, the handicap committee will make the final decision on any banditry.
​
All events will now follow the following handicap rules:
Before an event we will decide the difficulty of the course;
Birdie fest, Easy, Standard, Hard, St. Mellion.
​
For a 'Standard' course, shooting the following stableford scores will incur the equivalent handicap increase or decrease:
< 24 = +3
24-25 = +2
26-27 = +1
28-37 = 0
38 = -1
39-40 = -2
41-43 = -3
>43 = -5
Depending on the course rating, these boundaries will be shifted up or down a maximum of 2 stableford points.
