More Handicaps Fun

The more we look the more discrepancies we find. By accident Joe and I have found out how to check the indexes WHS have awarded everyone although for some unknown reason IntelliGolf's database has not been fully updated. Meanwhile, back to the drawing board.

WHS Calculation Method

WHS Index Update

Unfortunately the handicaps I recently published are incorrect for about twelve Sandpipers whose indexes have not been allocated. 

Several will receive emails explaining the situation but anyone whose handicap has not changed since 2nd November should email office@sillothgolfclub.co.uk including date of birth and authorising Alan to obtain an index on your behalf. Unfortunately, anyone without an official handicap will not be able to enter qualifying competitions or enter a score in our monthly competitions although still welcome to enter the draw for the latter.

By way of explanation the WHS indexes update left the original incorrect handicaps in place.

I'm informed that covid is spreading in Silloth so be careful out there.

Happier Times

Update

The results sheet has been amended to include "away" members and handicaps for the Silloth yellow tees.

Nothing much to report except those I've spoken to are finding the long dark evenings a challenge. Let's hope things relax after December 2nd and we can get back to having a life again.

I haven't got round to updating our web site yet as I'm in between laptops just now and recovering files from the old one is a headache.

Results Sheet

Hopefully we all remember the result sheet that was updated regularly on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

As it isn't possible to sit in the clubhouse and fill the paper version in I've reproduced it in a format that will enable everyone to keep a check on their handicap off yellow tees as well as Sandpiper updates for the monthly points accrued. Unfortunately I need "Away" members to forward their own WHS index for them to be included.

It looks as if we've now got a month before it will need renewing.

Tuesday 3rd November Result

Nobody expected the rain to sweep in like it did and a few of the twenty eight starters found it too much to complete the round but it didn't bother Gary Long or David Low who finished with 39 and 37  respectively.

Gary Long 39, 16.8 points, new handicap 8

David Low 37, 11.2 points, new handicap 18

As it may be possible to resume playing, the monthly winner and runner up won't be published until the end of November.

It's my intention to publish an on line version of the results sheet we used to have on the notice board so more on that once we get the new handicaps sorted out.

Tuesday 3rd November Draw

Make the most of it, we might not get another game for a while.

Note our winter start time.

Hopefully the Club will publish everyone's index tomorrow so we're all on the same hymn sheet.
