Adjusted Gross and Maximum Score on any Hole

Dear Sir/Madam,

Following our communication last month and the distribution of the updated Handicap Manual effective 1 February earlier this month, we have received a number of queries regarding the change to the maximum allowable score on each hole for handicap purposes. The relevant section of the updated manual reads as follows:

“5.2 Adjusted Gross and Maximum Score on any hole
For handicap purposes only an Adjusted Gross may be submitted to the SAGA Handicap System. An Adjusted Gross is obtained by applying the following rules to the score achieved on each hole:

Handicaps - Limitation on hole scores
+5 to 18 - The maximum score allowed on any hole is 2 over par
19 and over - The maximum score allowed on any hole is 3 over par

There is no limitation on the number of 2 over par or 3 over par scores that may be entered.”

Please note that as stated in the manual there is no limit to the number of 2 or 3 overs that can be taken in each handicap group.

The new handicap manual will come into effect on Wednesday, 1 February, and will be on the www.saga.co.za and www.handicaps.co.za websites for reference purposes.

Should you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact myself at justin@handicaps.co.za or email info@handicaps.co.za.

Kind regards,

Justin King

HANDICAPS

NOTICE TO MEMBERS

Following the changes to the Handicap System which came into effect on 1st February 2012, the Handicap Committee has decided that for Southbroom members the maximum permissible increase per month will be restricted to 2 shots and these increases will be monitored on an ongoing basis.

It should be noted that with the changes it is expected that handicaps in general will increase. For those players with handicaps just below 30 it is quite possible that these handicaps will increase to 30+. We remind you that the maximum permissible handicap for Southbroom members (male) is 30.
