At my course we have a net tourney with 80% handicaps top 16 teams qualify for four ball match play.

We qualified and won our first match today. We all play off of the low handicap.

The handicaps are 5, 7, 12 and 16.

My question is:

The higher 3 handicaps. Do they get 80% off of the low ball? Or do you think you should get 100%

Thanks for your input.

You calculate 80% of everyone's hcp index. You then translate those indices to individual course handicaps, and then wheel off the low man.

I am struggling to understand how this competition works.

You seem to be saying that there are 4 players in a team.

I have never heard of match play with 4 person teams.

4 ball means two teams of two/

I'm assuming 2-man teams playing a standard 4-ball.....no?

All I am asking is, when it gets to match play should the 80% be void, or do you think the 80% handicap should continue on to the match play?

Qualifying was net (80% handicaps).. top 16 qualified

It would usually have the same calculation at the knockout (post qualification) stage.

Thanks for your input.

When there is a reduction of players handicap's, the reduction is off all players index's, then the course handicaps are determined.

Then, all players deduct the lowest handicap players course handicap, which means the lowest handicap player is scratch (0)

If the above players course handicaps are an example, then the players would have - (hdcp 5 would be given zero, hdcp 7 would be given 2, hdcp 12 would be given 7, hdcp 16 would be given 9)

It's 4 ball 2vs2

To make it easy. Our home course handicaps are:

5, 7, 12, 16

The simple question is do the 3 high players get

100%

2, 7 and 9 strokes  is the correct equations.

80%

2, 6, and 7 strokes?

    • This is pretty much how I look at it.  I understand there are times when the piece of mind has value. I think over the long haul I'm money ahead by never buying the extended warrantee. Hell, What do I know? I went to Ch!cago PubIic SchooIs.

    • On my car I got the extended power train warranty. I do read the fine print most of the time. Though at now 37, my eyes aren’t what they were 10 years ago.    The problem with most of these extended warranties on electronics and appliances is you don’t register the warranty with the place you buy the warranty from, which I’ve always found strange. Unless it’s GameStop then you know Alina drops her Switch in the next two years and the screen cracks they’ll replace it. No questions asked.    You buy a slow cooker at Walmart for $50 and the extended warranty is say $6, you have to go through a third party to register your product for the warranty, and it’s pretty damn annoying. Target is the same way. Anything you buy the extended protection on you have to go through a third party.    Why do retailers go through a “broker” for warranties? Because they don’t wanna deal with it? They make me talk to someone from another country, that I can barely understand, when I need my warranty fulfilled.   Sorry for the rant.
