Changes to the Handicapping System – new CONGU manual
u
All Convenors should be aware that a new Unified Handicapping System 2012 to 2015 manual is available. http://www.scottishgolf.org/files/CONGU_UHS_2012-20153.pdf
Copies will have been sent to your Clubs, but extra copies can be ordered from the SGU. In the new guidance, some of the principle changes are:
a.) Calculation of the CSS using the number of (target) scores within SSS+Category Buffer Zone instead of only the number of scores within 2 strokes of the SSS.
b.) An amendment to the CSS calculation for small fields (consisting of 9 players or less.)
c.) All members of SGU affiliated Clubs will have a CDH (Central Database of Handicaps) ID Number
Also, at Appendix J, there is a useful guide to the recommended way to allocate and alter handicaps for our newer Junior players. See:- http://www.congu.com/Junior.htm Dave Warren, Secretary.

Another special mention should go to Convenor Gordon Smith who kept the organisers right on their scoring calculations! Craigielaw now advance to the Finals in Spain yet again, and we hope they bring back the UK Championship. Full scores below:-

Keith Young Presentation
At the 2011 Annual General meeting of the East Lothian Golf League, Dave Warren, League Secretary, made a presentation to Keith Young. Keith has run the ELJGL website for the past seven years and was thanked by Dave on behalf of convenors and league members. Running the website takes a considerable amount of time and Keith has put considerable expertise and time into making sure that we all know what is going on and can easily access important league information. From January 2012, the management of the website passes to former league secretary David Hillson.
