New golfers (and subs) that do not have at least 3 rounds last year, will not establish a handicap until they have logged 3 rounds this year. Until then, their handicap will be based on that week’s score.

Handicaps will continue to be based on 80% of the difference between par and your average (no cap).

FAQ’s
Q: Why didn’t my handicap change in week 2, after I shot an “86” on opening night?
A: Handicaps are “locked in” from last year’s season Average for your first three rounds. (try to keep up Mike)

Q: What is a “5 week moving average”?
A: Only your most recent 5 scores are used to calculate your handicap. No, It has nothing to do with your bowel regularity.

Q: Why the changes? Couldn’t you leave well enough alone?
A: These changes should help eliminate wide fluctuations in handicaps early in the year, and create sufficient confusion that I hope to use to my advantage.

Sincerely,

DaBlade
