    Just found out when I go back to my home club for club champs in a couple of weeks I’ll be off 4……….I’ll just let that sink in? That’s 5 shots I’ll loose!
    Slope 113

    Their ACR is 5 under PAR ?

    8.2 to 8.2. Everyone else appears to have gone out one to two shots. I don’t understand it.

    You’re looking at the wrong line.
    With a ‘cap of 8 you would have gone out by .5 or .6
    Unless something else happened on that line which equated to an equal and opposite reaction which would have reduced your ‘cap.

    On the 26/01/20 I had 28 points in a flagged round and went from 7.5 to 8.3. On the 27/01/20 I had 33 points in an unflagged round and went from 8.3 to 8.2 which remained unchanged in the swap to WHS. So are you suggesting the adjustment was made on the 27th?

    My last round under the old system was on Sunday 26th. I played on Monday 27th but that didn’t get uploaded to golflink before the shutdown. So, in my case the entry on the 26th was the one that got adjusted up by 7%.

    Yours was probably the same. Certainly looks like it from those figures.

    For someone who still is fairly new to ISG/L4G can you please explain what the hell this is about????

    The Melbourne crew have been playing OOMs for some years, surely it’s at least 10 years by now.

    Now we can all get some sleep.

    Perhaps you need a new battery, too.

    You all seem to be comparing your before & after GA Index. The only change there was the scrubbing of the 7% discount.
    So they all went out by 7%, or 1 in 14. That was a Golf Aust peculiarity not used anywhere else in the world. But they liked it so much that they brought it into the playing handicap. That’s probably not done anywhere else in the world either.

    What I found interesting was that the 7% was added in to the ‘new handicap’ on the last round recorded before the golflink shutdown. My anchor was then reset (from 14.5 to 16.5) on my last round (4 days later).

    I don’t understand how it could takes 3 days to add 7% to every GA Index. It’s just a simple database update that takes a few seconds.

    I’m not sure what you’re trying to tell us.

    The 7% adjustment is WHY we are looking at our GA, but like up, mine did not adjust out by that 7%

    Can you explain why that is?

    The line that first showed the ‘no 7% off’ previously held a different figure calculated under the old system. It may be a flagged round or you may have pushed a flag off the bottom with that round. Then they went through and only changed the ‘new handicap’ on that line to not have 7% deducted.

    I found the real cause of the problem, the battery was stuffed.
    The comparatively large volume of graphics on this site highlighted the issue.
    Replaced the battery.

    Match play knockout at Beacy yesterday.
    My opponent kept getting pars when I didn’t. We both parred our 8th hole (26) but I had to give him a shot there so lost than one too. Went down like a bag of shit 7&5. Have I mentioned that I hate playing in the rain?

    I have been hovering around my start figue. But thanks to WHS, I’m just about out to my June target.
    As I’ll now be playing off two strokes less at Warra, my ‘cap will naturally head out, so no further action.

    How many read that with Micks helium voice?

    That’d be just too much.

    Stab at Warra today.

    After Sat’s pro-am, the greens had still not been mown and were quite slow. It took me a while to adjust.
    Two 3-putts and only one 1-putt, reflected in the scores: 15/15 for 30 points.
