Whilst the decision taken at the AGM to enter all Thursday scores as General Play scores, this need not be an immutable rule, particularly when considering course and weather conditions. A decision on this can be taken before play if it is clear that the weather will adversely affect play and scores. I am informed by Joe Campbell that if conditions deteriorate substantially during a round, such that several players give up and walk in, he can abandon that day's 'competition' in the computer system so that no scores are recorded by the WHS system. Our objective was to give players the opportunity to maintain or even reduce their WHS handicaps, not for handicaps to creep up.
With regard to the course conditions, if there are for example temporary tees or greens, the course may not be 'qualifying' with regard to WHS rules. This is checked with the Professional before play. Also, a course can be 'qualifying' even if mats are used on the fairways, Club competition scores using mats will be entered into the computer for WHS purposes during this winter.'
This might answer a few of the comments we have already had. '
