Hi Bo
hope this is of help.
Clause 16.11
If a player returns a
Qualifying Score or
Scores below his
Playing Handicap at his
Home Club or away and is unable to:
(a) report an away score(s) to his
Home Club or
(b) ascertain whether or not his
Playing Handicap has been reduced as result of the score(s)
he shall, before playing in another competition at his
Home Club or away, for that competition make such reduction to his
Playing Handicap as shall be appropriate under the System by applying the
Competition Scratch Score if known, otherwise the
Standard Scratch Score, to calculate his
Nett Differential and handicap reduction.
Should a player not know his
Exact Handicap, such reduction should be made from his
Playing Handicap less 0.5, (e.g. if
Playing Handicap is 16 then reduction should be from 15.5).
Note: Handicap reductions only shall be applied under this sub-clause. Handicap increases may only be made by a player’s
Home Club after scores have been duly reported.
The reduction must be applied to the handicap before playing again. This modified handicap should continue to be used until the Handicap Committee has processed the score and updated the record.
