HANDICAP SETIAKAWANGOLF BAGI BULAN FEBRUARY 2010

Saperti saya maklumkan pada postings yang lepas, sistem handicap kita telah disetujui diubahsuai. Penerangan ini telah diberi oleh Pemangku Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Handicap, Dato Amin Mohd Salleh. Penerangan beliau adalah saperti dibawah. Nak terjemah pun akan memakan masa. Saya harap members semua akan memhami nya dan sekiranya masih perlu penerangan lanjut, harap hubungi Dato Amin.

PENERANGAN BERKENAAN PENYESUAIAN SISTEM HANDICAP SETIAKAWANGOLF PADA 10 FEBRUARY 2010

" Since the introduction of the USGA Handicap Calculation formula, there have been a steady lowering of handicaps for the majority of us which on the whole seems to be a bit abnormal. So a small study was carried out. It was found that this was because we have been using our own Handicap Adjustment system. A briefing on the USGA and European Handicap Adjustment System was made after lunch on 10 Feb 2010 and it was unanimously agreed and approved by the president for adoption. It was also agreed that this system be utilised to recalculate all handicaps from the end of december 09. The date of implementation of the new handicaps will be notified. The new system has a few features such as dividing golfers into categories, introduction of buffer zones by category where an increase in handicap differentials within the buffer zones will not result handicap adjustment and the final feature is usage of the adjustment factor which varies by categories to calculate handicap adjustment up or down. The system is as shown:
Category Handicap Buffer Adjustment Factor
A

0 - 5 1 0.1

B

6 - 12 2 0.2

C

13 - 18 3 0.3

D

19 -24 4 0.4

For example a person was given a handicap of 14 at the start of january. At the end of january his handicap will be reviewed taking into account his performance during the month. The lowest three of the last ten scores is taken and averaged to determine his handicap differential. If his handicap differential is 17, there will be no change as he is within the buffer zone of category C. If his handicap differential is 18 which is out of the buffer zone of his category C, then the difference between his starting handicap and his handicap differential will be calculated. I.e. 18 minus 14 equals 4. The difference is then multiplied by the adjustment factor of his category which is 4 times 0.3. The total is 1.2. This is rounded to 1 and his handicap is increased by one to 15. That is his new handicap. Conversely, the same will happen if his handicap differential is below his handicap. Meaning his new handicap will be 13. A point to remember is that there are no buffer zones for handicap differentials that are lower then their original handicaps, meaning there will be a handicap recalculation using the adjustment factor for all those that play below their handicap. It may or may not result in a cut. In this case if he played one below his handicap, there will be no cut as 1 times 0.3 equals 0.3. Rounded to the nearest round figure gives it a zero. However if he was two under: two times 0.3 is 0.6, rounded to 1, so his handicap is cut to 13. The point to remember is that our handicaps are always shown rounded, but the reality is that there are always decimal points which is recorded in the computer."
