Reply To: Max score per hole

[William Aleshire Jr.]

In the examples below:
Correct me if I am wrong.

Even setting the limit at triple bogey max doesn’t seem to penalize the higher handicapped players enough. Just my take on it.

Either way the world AM has undoubtedly spent many a night discussing this prior to its implementation going over all the ands/ifs/OR’s and butts before they chose the max 9 number.

Max 9 Example:
Par 3 – Hole handicap = 18
Lower handicap par 3 scores a 9 on a -0 non-scoring hole equals 6 over par = 6 over
Higher handicap par 3 scores a 9 on a -2 scoring hole equals 4 over his par = 4 over

Triple bogey example:
Par 3 Hole Handicap = 18
Lower handicap par 3 scores a 6 on a -0 non-scoring hole equals 3 over par = Net Triple bogey
Higher handicap par 3 scores a 6 on a -2 scoring hole equals 1 over his par = Net Bogey

Double Bogey example:
Par 3 Hole Handicap = 18
Lower handicap par 3 scores a 5 on a -0 non-scoring hole equals 2 over par = Net Bogey
Higher handicap par 3 scores a 5 on a -2 scoring hole equals 0 over his par = Net Par

Have fun, hit the little white ball into the hole and make some new friends. 🙂
