Dumbest question ever. First tournament ever and its a 2 person scramble with handicaps

[golfygolfy]

So we have player A with 35% of his handicap and Player B with 15% of his handicap and wanted to know how they use the combined course handicaps to adjust your score.  Do they just subtract after your round is complete?  I know stupid question, but its early and my coffee hasnt kicked in yet for me.

Pretty pumped.  Been golfing since July and Im hooked, luckily my buddy is a good player and essentially he only has to take 6 of my drives for the whole round...He's screwed!!!

Thanks for your patience and sorry for the newbiness

I imagine that they'll simply subtract the handicap from your total score.  If they use a match of cards to break ties (this is easier than having a playoff), the strokes will be used where the card indicates.  By that I mean that if your team handicap is 8, they'll allocate one handicap stroke to each of the holes with handicap numbers 1 through 8.

My advice for your first tournament ever....relax, try your best but accept that you'll make mistakes, and have fun.  Come to think of it, that's my advice for every tournament you'll ever play.

The answer to your (not stupid ) question is yes. Take 35% of A's course handicap plus 15% of B's course handicap, round to a whole number and subtract from the gross (actual) score.
