So, another full year of the Pedro handicapping system, here are some interesting outcomes from the system.
Firstly, the boys who have come down this year;
- Pete, as Jug winner, is going to be off 27 at the start of the year
- Hugh’s WHV number is now 18, down from 20. He’s honest enough to play off his club cap of 10 though
- I will start the year on 11, mainly because of penalties for winning events and being the OoM champion
- Tom is down from starting the year on 15, to 14 – still a few shots more than his golf mates let him claim on his posh lads tour
Adam and Bruce haven’t really played, so their handicaps are the same as at the start of the year.
Which leaves us with, everyone else, who have gone up – suggesting we’re doing well as a society!
- Mike, Martin, Rob, Boyce, Nelly, Woolly and Millers have all gone up a shot this year
- Aust, Gregs, and Noz – WHV Stalwarts to a man, are all up 2 shots. Noz will start the year off 24, creeping closer to joining Pete in Cat Z
- PK started on a bit of a false handicap of 19, and is now on 22 – we expect him to be using his Gay Hill handicap when competing next year
- The President has had a tough year off 20, by the 2nd event, all of his penalties for winning in Wales will have expired – he’s up to 23 for the start of the year
- Finally, Hollywood was made to play off 20 when he joined us this year – because he’s off 22 at Gay Hill. Our system shows that he’s nowhere near that good – Pete’s system has him at 28 after five full cards, our second Cat Z member. We also expect to see Aaron playing off his Gay Hill cap at the start of the year
The linked sheet with current handicaps should be working.
