Captains Charity Day
& Forthcoming Events
Dear Member, Owner
The Captains Charity Day is fast approaching, and I would like to inform you of all the events that are taking place.
In our ongoing attempt to help members understand the Handicap System, and the Synchronization process, all members are invited to an informal Handicap Forum, that we will be holding on Friday, 4th October at 17.30hrs. – 18.30hrs. in the clubhouse, where we will try to answer any and all of the questions about handicaps including;
- How is my handicap calculated?
- Why does my handicap index go down when I play over my handicap?
- Why does my handicap never increase?
- What is handicap synchronization?
- What does the RFEG app show me?
- And any other questions?
For the benefit of those members who attended the previous forum in April, this forum will be essentially the same information. Of course, if anyone would like to attend again to refresh their memory, everyone will be most welcome.
The Handicap forum will be hosted by John Booth (Handicap Committee)
