HANDICAP ADJUSTMENTS
As advised in the entry conditions, all scores and handicaps will be reviewed and adjusted daily. Your playing handicap will also change in relation to the slope of the course you are playing that day.
As competitors are from New Zealand, Australia and Malaysia, regardless of recent system changes in Australia, the current handicap systems in each country, remain different. Therefore, in line with advice and in fairness to all, handicaps for all players will be adjusted daily as per the following system:
- Stableford scores between 32 – 40: Your handicap index will not change.
- Stableford scores below 32 (i.e. 31 and lower): Your handicap index will be adjusted for the next round by index + 0.1 for every shot lower
- Stableford scores above 40 (i.e. 41 and above): Your handicap index will be adjusted for the next round - 0.2 for every shot higher
- New Zealand scores for all players will only be entered into DotGolf at the end of the tournament.
- Australian and Malaysian cards for handicapping can be filed back to your own country at own care.
- The above does not preclude the tournament committee making further adjustments if it is believed that players are recording scores significantly higher than their original handicap would indicate.
PaR nz Golfing Holidays remain committed to managing a professional and fair, equitable tournament for all players.
