What handicap allowance does each format use?

The net column on the scorecard uses the WHS Appendix C allowance for the played format:

  • Stroke Play (individual): 100%
  • Stableford (individual): host-selectable - 100% (Casual, default) or 95% (Competition / WHS handicap-record)
  • Match Play (individual): 100% with strokes received off the lower handicap
  • Best Ball: 85%
  • Scramble (4 players): weighted percentage of players' handicaps
  • Foursome: 50% of combined handicap
  • Chapman: 60% low + 40% high
  • Skins / BBB / Nassau: 100%

The Stableford-points column shown alongside the gross score uses the round's host-selected Stableford allowance (default 100%) - see "How are Stableford points calculated?" below.
