Gents, just a brief note on next years starter handicaps. We have amassed stapleford scores since the start of 2012 and have used the ‘winnings per game played’ ratio as the factor that determines how adjustments are calculated. We could this year have used 6 years data to work this out (ie 2012-2017 inc) but on reflection have decided 6 years is a long time in golf and players form can change over time. So we will going forward limit annual adjustments based on 5 years data so this time only years 2013-2017 count. The aim of the Wed group is to try and give everyone a fair chance to win some money through the year, to welcome new members to APGC ( 8 in 2017) but most of all to have an enjoyable round in good company.
The following adjustments are off your start 2018 club handicaps that might also include general play adjustments mad by APGC after reviewing your Swindle stapleford scores throughout the year.
-2 : DW, CSu, ML, JH, AS, J Maynard, AHu.
-1 : IT, PI, CB, AxH, JO’S, KR, TP, JC, KN, KM, MW, RS, AM, PB.
0 : AWr, JG, PB, CSt, AJ, TC, AnW, JoM, TH, DR, PS, PL, PW, SW.
+1 : SM, MD, AWy, AM, RA, TW.
+2 : BJ, MP, RB, Jmo.
+4 : AlH, SC, RvL,
+5 : PO.
+6 : AL
If anyone is not on this list then you will be playing off club handicap at the start of 2018.
I am away next Wed so Tom Walters is looking after those of you sober enough to turn out at 9.16am.
Have a good Xmas and see you in 2018.
