INACTIVE HANDICAPS IN COMPETITIONS
The Committee has decided that Members with Inactive Handicaps(i) will not be allowed entry into Major Competitions, Monthly Medals & Mid Week Medals in 2011.
If you are in any doubt as to whether your handicap is Inactive, please check the blue handicap book under the computer in the spike bar. Clubs will be permitted to exempt players from an Inactive Handicap in special circumstances.
ENGLISH GOLF UNION / ENGLISH WOMEN'S GOLF UNION ACTIVE / INACTIVE HANDICAP CHANGE
Active/Inactive Handicaps
Players will be required to have submitted 3 qualifying scores (including Supplementary Scores and Away scores) during each calendar year to avoid having an inactive handicap for the following playing season.
NR’s will not be accepted as part of the 3 qualifying scores.
Clubs will be permitted to exempt players from an inactive (i) handicap for injury/illness that has prevented them from achieving the required number of qualifying scores during a calendar year. This will also include those players who are transferring membership who have submitted scores albeit at another Club and to golfers new to the game who are being issued with first CONGU handicap.
Players whose handicap has become inactive will be required to return three qualifying scores before the indicator is removed. Qualifying scores of less than 3 are not permitted to be carried over to the next year, i.e. no topping up of qualifying scores permitted, e.g. 1 score in the previous year and 2 in current year.
An inactive handicap can still be used for social golf and those competitions for which an active handicap is not an entry condition. Scores from players with inactive handicaps will be used in the calculation of a CSS.
The requirement of 3 qualifying scores will be reviewed by EGU/EWGA during 2010 to consider if this should be increased for the following year.
The active/inactive identification of handicaps will be required as from the beginning of 2010.
Inactive handicaps will be followed by an i. Example: 12i
