Golf Forums - Handicap

I put my sons score into from a comp he went into at his clob Maylands he is a 15 handicap which is the handy cap he is on the centrel id ref so he played to a 15 handy cap sky cady makes it 15 but on here is 20 just wondered why

Hi Heather,

I've had a very quick look at the scores you have posted on behalf of your son and the TSG calculation is correct starting at the game at Wanstead on 20th April. At Wanstead he played as a 25 handicapper and since then he's been, correctly, cut each game.

I'd guess the difference between his TSG handicap (18) and his club handicap (15) is based on the difference in starting position (what was his club handicap when he played at Wanstead in April?) plus the number of games taken into account (with TSG you have posted all his games, from different clubs, and he's been doing well, but his club handicap will only be based on the competition games played at his club - very few).
 
Hope that helps.

Last score I put in before yesterday was April 2009 when his 1st club was Wanstead have not put any in since then till yesterday he won Crowlands junior open 7 under his handy cap for 36 holes he was 23 handy cap the then won a comp at Wanstead 5 under his handy cap he was a 21 handy cap then won another comp at Wanstead 6 under his handy cap went into a few comps at Maylands his 1st club now and his handy cap was put down to 15 a few weeks ago he has a comp every week at Maylands. In the comps he hands his cards in so I dont get to put the score down but yesterday looked at his sky cady and put the score in from that, his coach said he is capable of getting down to a 10 by the end of the summer, he is at golf course nealy every day will be 13 end of this month so not doing too badly
