Following Tuesday's game (9 June 09) a Handicap proposal was received from the Captain of the Crew regarding how Handicaps are altered with play. It has been agreed, by the Crew and Handicap Secretary (who will manage it as normal), that Handicaps will only be adjusted by the normal 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 (depending on Golfing Category), when a player either fails to achieve 30 points or exceeds 36 points, now known as the 'Buffer Zone'. If a player scores within this zone then their handicap will remain the same. In addition, handicaps will be adjusted by the said amount (0.1, 0.2, 0.3) only once per round and not for every point above and below the buffer zone. This will mean that handicaps will not vary by any significant amount between individual rounds and we will not get to the situation where everyone reaches 28 by the end of the season.
With the above in mind and with effect from Tuesday 16 June 2009 the Crew's handicaps will revert to their existing CGA or equivalent, with the exception of Bob Ditchfield who will start at 24. Maximum handicap will remain at 28.
