Substitute Players

Golf Leagues that have substitute players have many ways to determine their handicap. Since substitutes play a limited number of rounds, some feel it is best to determine a subs handicap based on 60% or 70% of their adjusted score for that particular match. This may be the easiest method and most fair to the regular members. If you will check a league members actual stroke average, you will find their handicap is about 70% of their actual average. Why should a sub, an outsider, get any more advantage than this?

If not established, or not entered manually, GLS will automatically calculate a sub handicap taking the subs ADJUSTED SCORE MINUS PAR) TIMES SUB PERCENTAGE.

If a sub has an established handicap it will be posted.  Sub handicaps are adjusted using the same method as regular league members.  You can decide the number of sub rounds to use for handicap calculation as follows:  1. Determine the handicap after EACH round using that round;  2. Use ALL Rounds posted; Or  3. Use the LOWEST HALF of all rounds posted. Selection 1 calculates sub handicaps "on-the-fly" when the sub score is posted. Selection 2 or 3 will result in sub handicaps being calculated along with regular league members each time you run the league handicap report.
