NOTE: Doubles and Handicaps

As we have re-introduced two sets of doubles into the match, we have had to develop simple guidelines for the Doubles handicaps as follows;

  • Add each of the player’s individual handicaps together and divide by 2
  • If the result contains a fraction (1/2) then round the handicap up to the next whole number
  • The ‘average’ handicap should be calculated for EACH of the doubles pairings

For example;
Doubles Match 1:        (Player 1  =  +12 ;   Player 2   =  +7)    =    12 + 7  =   19/2   =  9.5  =  +10    
Doubles Match 2:        (Player 2  =    +7 ;   Player 3   =  +9)    =      7 + 9  =    16/2  =   +8
