Club Handicap Update

Good Afternoon Members,
Please see below update on how we will be using the new world handicap system going forward.
-
Originally we had planned to stick to our original handicap for the winter. This was because we didn’t have an official handicap table from our yellow tees (supplied by USGA/Golf Ireland) We now have this and is attached below for reference. Also Howdidido transferred our new handicap indexes over from GolfIreland.ie without prior notice. Reverting back to the original handicap for the winter would have been a logistical nightmare. So we will now be playing the winter competitions off our new handicap index.
-
At this stage you should have your new handicap index by either accessing GolfIreland.ie or on howdidido.com. There are a few members who’s handicap index we are still trying to get from GolfIreland. If you have been unable to get yours please reply to this email and we will do our best to get this for you.
-
Please see the Course Handicap Table below to work our your playing handicap for Silverwood from the yellow tees. A quick glance at this Handicap Table and you will see that your new Handicap Index is also your playing handicap for Silverwood from the yellow tees. Example – A member with a handicap index of 5.3 will have a playing handicap of 5. A member will a handicap index of 22.9 will have a playing handicap of 23.
-
Any member who has already played this week will have their playing handicap adjusted and score updated accordingly by the Match & Handicap.

When signing into howdidido, please enter your playing handicap if asked to adjust. Also please write your playing handicap on the score card.
We understand this may be a lot to take in. Please try and pass this information onto other members. If you have any questions please reply to this email and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
