On the left image above, at the bottom of the screen, you can see the option 'Net Scoring', but what is the difference between Net and Gross scores?
Net Scores - toggle 'On'
Your 'Match Play Handicap' (M.HCP) will be the difference between your Playing Handicap and the one from the player with the lowest value.
For instance:
- Player A Phcp = 13
- Player B Phcp = 2
- Player C Phcp = 19
- Player D Phcp = 21
Match Play Handicap:
- Player B has the lowest Playing Handicap, so his Match Play Handicap will translate into 2 (his Phcp) - 2 (the lowest Phcp in the group) = 0 > No extra strokes for this player! 🤭
- Player A M.HCP = 13 - 2 = 11 > 11 extra strokes!
- Player C M.HCP = 19 - 2 = 17 > 17 extra strokes!
- Player D M.HCP = 21 - 2 = 19 > 19 extra strokes!
These extra strokes are allocated to the most difficult holes in order of difficulty, starting from the stroke index 1.
Gross Scores - toggle 'Off'
The handicap is not considered, so no one will benefit from extra strokes (adjustments).
