I've always wondered this about handicaps and I guess, having just got one, you might know.

How do they deal with the blow up holes? In your case it looks as if its been decided that the outward 44 is par for the course [sorry ] giving 88 and a 16 cap - i.e. the 8 and the 9 in your last 4 holes have been cut back.

I suppose one idea would be to take each blow up down to the lowest non (stapleford) scoring number but I'd be interested in knowing for sure.
hi robin
dont quote me on this
but i think the 8 and 9 are scored as 6's
a mate told me that your handicap is a mark of your potential rather than your average score above par.
the 8 and 9 werent on the hardest si holes on the course
i scored nett par's on those!
