Is the Handicap system fair? {!firstname_fix}
In
a preliminary analysis,
I have analyzed
over 1000 scores
of golfers at my
home club in tournament
play.
Their
handicaps range
from +1 to 35.
I
entered the scores
into a spreadsheet
and did a comparison
of their scores
in stroke play
and match play.
Here's
a little of what
I have discovered
so far.
Handicaps
5 to 9 make 3
times as many
gross birdies
as handicaps
15 to 19 while
both groups make
the same number
of net birdies.
To
play a game
that rewards
for birdies,
net birdies
is the fair
way to play
or the 15 to
19 could be
rewarded 3
gross birdies
for every one.
The
highest average
2-man best net
ball score comes
from two players
in the 0 - 4 group.
What
handicap group
pairing results
in the lowest
best ball score?
Find out when
my study is
published.
I
calculated the
difficulty ranking
for each hole
and compared
them to the holes'
handicap number.
Using the scorecard's
difficulty ranking
in a match between
a 14 and a 5
handicap, the
14 would receive
4 strokes in
the first 4 holes.
Using the actual
difficulty ranking
for a 14, he
would receive
only 2 strokes.
A big difference
in starting a
match!
Should
a match be
played using
the player's
full handicap
or should it
be played off
the lower handicap?
In
my final report,
I'll provide the
above statistics
for all handicap
groups in addition
to a lot of other
statisitics that
will enable golfers
to play against
one another more
fairly.
Which
group of golfers
does
the current handicap
system favour?
That's what my
study will reveal.
