There was no blog last week due to the publication of the newsletter so anything else would have been repetition. This week we are back to normal, yes I know Frank what is normal?
The second issue of the new handicap rules has been released applicable to 4BBB events. these rules must be in place by the 1st January 2011 so to familiarise all players with the new requirements we will begin to apply them as from our next 4BBB event which is on the 13th October. From this date all four-ball rounds must be handicapped. The new method requires all players to record an individual score on each hole. It does not necessarily require a player to hole out on each hole.
For holes started but not completed, the new regulation requires the use of the Most Likely Score. The new version of this system is available on the on the following page of the GA website -

It is a requirement for each affilated club to have a Handicap Committee.
Daylight saving commences on Sunday 3rd October.
