Handicap calculation explanation
Category 1 (5 or less) handicap reduced by 0.1 x number of shots better than std scratch
Category 2 (6 to 12) handicap reduced by 0.2 x number of shots better than std scratch
Category 3 (13 to 20) handicap reduced by 0.3 x number of shots better than std scratch
Category 4 (21 to 28) handicap reduced by 0.4 x number of shots better than std scratch
The standard scratch will be set at one point less than the person in fifth (fourth if less than 30 attendees) scored, meaning only the top five (four) and ties will  have a handicap cut (i.e. if you win a prize, your handicap will be cut). There will be a ‘buffer zone’ where those equal to the standard scratch remain unchanged, with all other handicaps increasing by either 0.1 or 0.2, depending on the day.
