SETIAKAWANGOLF HANDICAPPING SYSTEMS

The SetiakawanGolf Handicapping Systems that has been used since inception has been revamped. The new system is as stated below and will take effect for games organized immediately after the Hari Raya Aidil Fitri of 2009. It will be known as the ‘SetiakawanGolf Handicap'. The system would be as follows.

Handicaps will be calculated utilising the USGA Golf Handicap Calculation. The Formula is as shown below:

1. Adjusted Gross Score - course rating x 113 (standard slope) / course slope rating.

2. Handicaps will be reviewed at the end of every month utilizing the two lowest scores of the month.

3. Immediate handicap cuts will be made to those who post minus scores as follows:

-3 cut 1 stroke
-6 cut 2 strokes
-9 cut 3 strokes
-12 cut 4 strokes
-15 cut 5 strokes

Note:
1. Handicap cuts due to cash winnings is now abolished.
2. Adjusted Gross Score is calculated using the equitable stroke control table shown below:
Handicap Maximum score per hole allowed
0 to 9 double bogey
10 to 19 treble bogey
20 above quadraple bogey"

  1. Hi Skawan Members,

    Senang untuk dicatat bahwa Yohanes telah sekarang kembali ke tugas skawan setelah 11 hari berusaha keras untuk menstabilkan dirinya dengan puasa kesulitan!

    Aku jelas menyambut sistem handicapping baru pegolf Skawan .... baik setelah saya memiliki sistem masa lama sebanyak tiga kali!
    Sampai sekarang saya terseksa dengan handicap 11 padahal saya Royal Selangor Golf Club resmi, benar dan tak terbantahkan cacat, seperti ditegaskan oleh USGA adalah "15".

    Syukurlah, puasa ni ada Kelebihannya, doa saya lepas Raya Puasa ..... cacat saya pada tanggal 1 skawan Golf tamasya adalah 15 lah. Mudah-mudahan dimakbulkan doa, InsyaAllah.

    Terima kasih kepada Ketua, Dy Ketua dan anggota Komite Handicapping berusaha keras untuk membuat pegolf skawan "bahagia sementara" dengan mereka
    baru cacat.

    Salam Ramadhan.

  2. Dear Skawan members,

    How do you like "Googles's auto translation" from my original English comments to the one above. Very glaring, John sudah jadi Yohanes, handicap sudah jadi "cacat".. memenag betul tapi bukan golf handicap!

    Good test for orang berpuasa.

  3. Dear Dato,
    The translation is good except cacat sounds like OKU only.

  4. Dear Dato' Nawi,
    Your doa will be more than makbul once John Hamzah post the new handicaps. However, it will not match golf club handicaps as ours is calculated from the two best scores of the month as opposed to the best two scores of the last ten scores posted as practiced by most clubs. On the positive side, our system will portray handicaps that picture one's almost current golfing ability as opposed to the club system that portrays one's golfing potential. Thanks.

    Regards
    Amin

  5. Hi Dato' Amin,

    What a great early news that my doa during the Ramadhan regarding my skawan handicap
    "dimakbulkan" and I hope I will get strokes from you in the 1st game after Hari Raya Puasa instead of having the agony of giving strokes to younger and good golfers like you, Ramli Kinta and Dr. Khalil! Alhamdulillah.

    By the way I miss you, Dr. Khalil and some other Skawan members during Skawan buka puasa
    at Felda Villa which my family and I enjoyed very much. I am sure other members and families who joined the buka puasa also enjoyed as much as we did.

    I am aware of and fully understand your higher priority commitment somewhere else... I have to politely turn down a cabinet minister whose
    invitation for buka puasa came in after my earlier commitment
    to skawan, logical decision by a pensioner!

    You definitely missed the skawan spirit of paying RM 55 per head to eat not more than RM 15 worth of food! How much can you eat anyway?
    However, it is better than paying RM 110 for weekly skawan golf, eat RM 8 worth of food and watch other golfers getting your ball-sweep money!
    Oh yes, at Isya' and terawih ( only 9 golfers)Tan Sri Hashim Meon (air Zam-Zam still in his systems and bau wangi Kaabah maseh belum hilang, maklum lah baru balek Umrah hardly 48 hours ago)led the prayer. Kita doa amalan-amalan di bulan Ramadhan ini dapat pahla 70 kali ganda!

    Sorry, bulan puasa three-one-one on golf courses tidak dapat hasil 70 kali ganda!!

    Salam Aidil Fitri kepada semua skawan members
    dan kelurga,

    Datuk Nawi Alias
    Datin Mani Mansor

  7. Dear Dato' Nawi et al,

    Been reading your postings,now close to no 4 or 5 in ranking after the usual malaysia kini,malaysia today etc.There was no other commitment that 9/9/09,had buka puasa with wife and little kids at home and tadarus with them.

    Surely missed you and the gang.But for the record i don't remember getting any strokes from you,just crisp RM10 notes.

    Selamat Berpuasa for next few days and Selamat Hari Raya to you Dato' and setiakawan gang.
