Again a well-attended second 2021 Colin Rolls Trophy event “Greensome” of the year. This time the weather was with us with temperature around 12 Deg. C and sunny.

The best pair score was recorded by Piet and Garry with 42 St.P. followed by Andrew and Geoff with 40 St.P. The best team score counting the two best score per team, was recorded by the “Babes and the Boys” with 78 St.P. followed by “Friday’s Men” with 77, “Andy Caps” with 68 St.P.   and the “Mulligans” with 64 St.P.

EGC WHS

Our EGC handicap secretary Klaus provided the Committee with a 2021 list of our members including Old and New WHS handicaps. On behalf of the Committee I took a closer look at this list in order to analyse the change in handicaps as introduced by NGF per 1 March 2021.

Firstly I think only a 1/3 of the players HCP can be used for any type of meaningful analysis. So I reduced our 2021 membership list of 186 names into 66, all playing Monthlies or other official EGC competitions within the last two years. Additionally I also spotted two Old handicaps to be wrongly listed, thus corrected them. So for 66 active EGC players, their average handicap were changed to:

Average NEW HCP = 25,4

Average OLD HCP = 22,4

Delta +3,0

I then removed the 12 players with external handicap so looked at 54 players with EGC HCP:

Average NEW HCP = 26,8

Average OLD HCP = 23,5

Delta +3,3

Finally the 12 players with external HCP:

Average NEW HCP = 19,2

Average OLD HCP = 17,3

Delta +1,9

Hope this small analyses clarify what happened to EGC handicaps per 1 March 2021. Many of you already know your new WHS and have used it. This analysis was primarily used for justifications for the new Monthly Cat. I/II split of 23,9/24,0 where we earlier used 20,9/21,0.
