OVERVIEW OF THE WEEKLY FIXTURES

>>Top

During the weekly game, consist of the following procedure:-

1.      The Organizer who is usually the Wooden Spoon Award Recipient of the game last week, will post a new game for this coming weekend. If the Wooden Spoon Award Recipient is unable to host the game, a volunteer will be chosen.

2.      Players were encouraged to log on to the site and join early to avoid disappointment.

3.      Meals (lunch) is not covered by the collection. Hence, you make your own arrangements for lunch. The common practice is for a group to meet at a mutually convenient location for lunch.

4.      The organizer will collect the green fees and other related monies for the week’s game.

a.      Players will contribute, golfing green fees, buggy charges and other related charges which goes directly to the golf club.

b.      Players also contribute RM15.00 to the pool to cover expenses for prize money inclusive of the sinking fund of RM5.00 per person per game.

5.      All players are encouraged to join the lunch to interact with other members of the group. In the event one is unable to join the group for lunch, they have to call ahead for friendly parties to “brown bag” food for them. This is not encouraged although tolerated.

6.      Flight arrangements will be made by the organizer.

7.      All players must report 15 minutes at the golf counter before Tee Time. Late comers are penalized RM20.00. This penalty will go directly into the sinking fund.  The official time will be based on the time on the clock at the registration counter. If there is no clock at the registration counter (which I have yet to find one such club), then the wrist watch of the registration personnel at the counter applies.

8.      The game will commence after all buggies or tuff mates are assigned to the respective players. (Unwritten rule here, if there are new players, the organizer will try as much as possible to pair the new players with more seasoned players so that the seasoned players may give guidance to the new players).  In most cases, people are eager to get on to the course once they are ready, however, we remind players to take instructions from the organizer. They will assign your buggies and will also indicate for you to go off to the tee box. Please help the organizers maintain some fashion of order at the golf course.

9.      All players are to keep their own score for tabulation at the end of the game.

10.  All participants of the game will assemble at a designated restaurant for dinner. (not compulsory). The dinner expenses will be shared equally among all dinner participants. The additional contribution to the dinner may end up with excess monies which is also placed into the sinking fund.

11.  Scores are tabulated and podium finishers, Wooden Spoon and Spoon Rest, will be name and prizes given out.

12.  Wooden Spoon will become the organizer of the next game.

NOTE: If you are interested in starting a new group, please contact Edward Chan at edward@legallinks.com.my  for setting up information. There is no copyright on the mode of organization. You may decide to start your own group and organized your weekly or fortnightly game.

Happy Golfing!

In addition to the RM5.00 per person, penalties such as Late arrival and No Show, will also be contributed to the sinking fund. However, penalties derived from BLTB will be placed into the funds for dinner for that week.

 

Sanctioned Game

  • For a game to be sanctioned, there are a few criteria to satisfy. Together with these criteria, KGC also impose some penalties for the members to observe. These guidelines and their penalties are not designed to kill but must be looked upon as character building with a slight injection of humor in them.

There will be only ONE (1) weekend sanctioned game per week. For organizers please indicate the game is sanctioned when posting the event.

The game must be posted on the site to ensure all members are notified of the game. Privately organized games will not be entertained.

Handicap Calculation

All KGC sanctioned games will carry a system 36 handicap of the day for each golfer. These handicaps accumulated over the month will be averaged to produce a new handicap for the golfer for the following month. The handicap is calculated on a monthly basis.

The second set of numbers applies.

Exceptions

1.      Podium Finishers
Handicaps of podium finishers are reduce immediately for the next game if they shoot scores below their handicap. For every 2 strokes under their current handicap, their month handicap will be reduced by one stroke. The reduced handicap will apply for the rest of the month.

If the same player scores another podium finish in the same month and shoots under his/her handicap, his/her monthly handicap will be further reduced.

If the game is the last game of the month, then the reduced handicap will be carried for the whole of the entire next month. However, if the calculated handicap is lower than the reduced handicap, then the lower handicap will apply.
 

2.      Only one (1) game for the month
If the member plays only one game for that month, his/her handicap will still be calculated as normal. However, only reduction in strokes will apply. If the average is higher than his present handicap, then the present handicap will apply.
 

3.      Continuous No Show without application
KGC will reduce the member’s handicap by one stroke for every month of non participation in at least one sanctioned game by a maximum of 2 strokes per year. If a consecutive no show for 6 calendar months, the golfer will lose their kakgolf handicap and be moved to the new golfers section playing off S36.  New golfers who do not show up for more than 6 months will have their names removed from the list and will lose their games played status.

(If you are away on an extended period of time and will not be in the country to participate in the games, you will not be subjected to this exception of the handicapping)

Reduction

Through normal calculation of the handicap, reduction in handicap is based on actual averages of the player’s handicap over the month. If the average is calculated to be infractions, regardless of the fractions, handicap will always be ROUNDED UP to the next integer.

Increasing

Through normal calculation of the handicap, REGARDLESS of average, the maximum increase to one’s handicap is ONE (1) stroke per month.

System 36

>>Top


System 36 Day Handicap calculation

36 – H = day handicap.

H is a total calculated based on your scores.
1. For every hole you score a par or better, you add 2 to X
2. For every hole you score a bogey, you add 1 to X
3. Any scores worst than a bogey is disregard at this point in time.

For example, if over the course of your game, you scored the following
1 birdie, 3 pars, 5 bogeys, 6 double bogeys and 1 triple bogey, your day handicap will be

H = 0
A. 1 birdie = 1 X 2 = 2
B. 3 pars = 3 X 2 = 6
C. 5 bogeys = 5 X 1 = 5

Therefore H = A + B + C = 13

The formula is 36 – H = Day handicap, so your handicap for the day is 23.
